    Left? Right? or Center? Along with rifts over theological issues and worship practices, politics is a hot-button issue that often divides the church. For some, involvement in politics and with the state should be avoided at all costs; for others, political activism is a central avenue of expressing their faith. Some Christians view endorsement of one political party over another as a no-brainer; for others, the matter is much more complex. For some, political issuessuch as the separation of church and stateare a source of great frustration; others view it as a source of great opportunity. Some view political involvement as a way to serve God and others; while other Christians view most politicians as corrupt, untrustworthy, and power-hungry. For some believers, the government is worthy of honor, respect, and trust; others are distrustful of the government and reject its claim of allegiance, determining to trust solely in God.

    Discussing politics inevitably leads to differences of opinion; thats why many people avoid talking about it at all costs! But differences of opinion need not lead to division in your group; conversely, you can use this Bible study to get to know each other better, understand various approaches to theology and culture that may be different from your own; and most importantly, learn more from Scripture about what God saysand doesnt sayabout politics. We hope this Current Issues Bible Study guide will help you grow closer as a group and challenge you in ways you may not expect.
