rancorous and increasingly uncivil. During the same period, there has been a growing tendency to
conflate one's theological commitments with one's political ideology. As a consequence, partisan
politics has infiltrated our churches and political commitments are creating unnecessary
divisions. Perhaps of most concern, these trends generally tend to obscure the properly holistic
nature of the Gospel of Christ and turn people off to Christianity altogether. Too often, it
often seems politics trumps theology. Sadly, this leads to division, where decisions on church
direction, and even the content of teaching, gets determined more based on partisan politics
than on sound biblical and theological factors. <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:
