All current human governments are usurpers. Though this, of course, is all of divine design, our calling is not as participants or associates of their unrighteous reign, but of remaining focused on our high-calling, peaceably awaiting the end of this evil age.
For the first 20 years of my adult life I was politically active – working polls, campaigning and holding party offices. However, for the past 25 years I chose, by conviction, to lead a quiet and peaceable life, and from the Scriptures have encouraged others to do so as well.
The details of my understanding and position are laid forth in my book World Affairs and National Politics (And the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus).
If you find yourself entangled in the current partisan process, I encourage you to use my book as a study guide to assist you in gaining your political bearings.
Over the years we have also carried many articles in the Bible Student’s Notebook from other authors reflecting our same position. One such example is Politician? or Paulician? by Alan Burns (1884-1929) in BSN #159.
I love and appreciate our readers, regardless of what differences Father may have ordained in our present steps.
