(The Christian Post) McLean Bible Church Lead Pastor David Platt weighed in on how Christians should engage the government from a biblical perspective, emphasizing that while it’s not an easy task, it’s vital.
The pastor began by recounting in a Secret Church simulcast titled “God, Government, and the Gospel” how it all unfolded in June 2019 when, as he was nearing the end of a service and about to take communion, his staff informed him that President Trump was about to arrive and had requested prayer.
Mindful of the Scriptures related to the responsibility of Christians to pray for their leaders and those in positions of authority, Platt told his church that what unites them is not their politics or ethnicity — over 100 ethnicities attend McLean Bible Church — but the Gospel and God’s Word. Platt then brought the president on stage and prayed for him.
