We Are Not Called to Build Empires
True Christianity was never meant to be a throne of power. It was never meant to dominate kingdoms or hoard wealth or conquer nations.
It was meant to heal the broken. To bind the wounded. To free the captives. To love the lost.
The moment faith is twisted into a tool for political control, the moment it is wielded as a weapon to build empires, it has already betrayed the heart of Christ.
We were not called to win the world by force. We were called to change it by light.
Jesus rode into Jerusalem not on a war horse, but on a donkey. He washed feet instead of demanding crowns. He wept for the city instead of seizing it. He laid down His life rather than raise a sword.
Christian nationalism is not the fulfillment of the Gospel. It is its distortion.
If our faith requires enemies to survive, it is no longer faith. It is fear wrapped in religious language.
If our faith craves power over others instead of service to others, it is no longer rooted in Christ.
We are not called to build empires. We are called to build bridges. We are called to carry burdens. We are called to lift the humble. We are called to speak truth with love and courage.
The world does not need more crowns made of iron. It needs more hearts ablaze with mercy.
We do not conquer the world by becoming like it. We heal the world by remembering who we are: Children of Light. Ambassadors of grace. Carriers of hope.
The kingdom we build is not made of marble or gold. It is made of justice, mercy, humility, and love that cannot be bought or sold.
We are not called to build empires. We are called to build the way home.
