Episode Details

Should the United States formally recognize Christ as Lord, or would that be improper for a nation filled with unbelief and public sin?

 

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by James Baird and George Sayour for a panel discussion on Christian nationalism, national repentance, constitutional recognition of Christ, and whether nations function as moral agents before God.

 

They discuss historical Presbyterian debates over adding Christ to the Constitution, the Covenanters, post–Civil War America, the role of states versus the federal government, and the difference between empty religious language and genuine repentance.

 

This episode asks not merely what is politically possible, but what nations ought to do before the Lord who rules over all people, rulers, and governments.
