Political Witness and the Way of Jesus Part 2: Assimilation, Fortification, or Incarnation?

Citizens of God’s Kingdom are intended to be present in addressing socio-political issues of poverty, injustice, hunger, other issues, while also being present to address real spiritual bondage, and the freedom and flourishing available in Jesus.
