"Christian Nationalism" Label Is Dangerous

One of the most effective ways to silence a Christian voice today is to attach a label to it  -- one that sounds  dangerous enough that no further argument  is required. That label is "Christian nationalism," the Christian Post website reports today (April 10,2026).


Some of the most oppressive regimes in  history wrapped themselves in  the language  of national identity. The party led by Adolf Hitler was known as the  National  Socialist German Workers' Party. 


As a result, the term "nationalism" often evokes  images of authoritarianism, coercion and extremism. When the word is joined with "Christian," the effect is immediate. Suspicion  is cast before any explanation  is given.


To suggest that applying  biblical truth to public life is dangerous  and misrepresents the  very nature of the  Christian faith itself,


Jesus Christ is not Lord over a narrow corner of private devotion.  He is Lord of all.
