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.
