Biblical perspectives on American politics
The Civic Pew is a resource for Bible-believing Christians who want to think clearly about public life, with open Bibles and a long memory. Every piece starts with Scripture, draws on American history, and is shared with love.
“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 (NASB 1995)
Scripture first. History considered. Love always.
Open Bibles
We read passages in context and check them against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Quotations come from the NASB 1995, with the NKJV alongside on key passages.
A long memory
From the Mayflower Compact to the Continental Congress, we learn from the American story using primary sources, carefully verified and clearly cited.
Room for everyone
We don’t endorse candidates or parties. We want to help you think, pray, and love your neighbors well, wherever you land on the issues.
Why should Christians care about politics at all?
Many of us drift toward one of two ditches: checking out completely, or putting our hope in the next election. Scripture walks a better road. Exiles in Babylon, a coin with Caesar’s face, and a few chapters of American history show the way.
