As the world rages against Christianity from all sides, from the far-left American progressivism to even the ostensibly “Christian” centrists like David French, the movement for some within Christendom to embrace what is being labeled “Christian Nationalism” is gaining steam. But it doesn’t seem to have a universal, agreed-upon definition of what Christian Nationalism actually is.
In a recent sit-down with Tucker Carlson, Moscow, Idaho pastor, Doug Wilson discusses this movement from his perspective, and why some are so fearful of it. While I don’t necessarily endorse Christian Nationalism, at least in some ways that it’s being defined, Wilson makes several points here that are worth pondering. Namely, the primary reason non-Christians are fearful of Christian Nationalism is that if there is a higher authority than the state, then the state ceases to be God.
And, secondly, I fully agree with Wilson on his points that the ultimate solution to turning this nation back to a society that recognizes God as its authority is to raise up preachers willing to preach the gospel and call people to repentance and faith. It is ultimately a work of God and we will not accomplish that goal through laws.
