Honoring God in Red or Blue by Amy Black
Why are we posting resources on political dialogue?
Divisive political dialogue is one of the most frequent sources of tension and disunity we hear mentioned by Christian leaders. It can quickly divide an organization and derail efforts to promote healthy ethnic relations and increased ethnic diversity. We hope the resources in our healthy political dialogue series will help you to foster healthy, biblical discussions in your organization. We have included resources by leaders with a variety of political and theological perspectives.

Honoring God in Red or Blue by Amy Black
About this resource (source):
Everyone’s been at that dinner party. The conversation takes a political turn. The arguments start, the atmosphere grows tense, and all that remains is a hopeless stalemate and an awkward silence. Makes you wonder . . . is thoughtful and productive dialogue about politics even possible?
In Honoring God in the Red or Blue, Dr. Amy Black addresses the debaters as well as those intimidated or annoyed by the debaters; political junkies and the contented uninvolved. She explains the purposes and limitations of our system and helps readers create realistic expectations for government. While God’s truth is perfect, human application of it is not, a reality that shouldn’t deter us from engaging in debate and staying informed. Rather, it should challenge us to raise our standards for how we speak about the issues-and those in office.
It’s time to approach political divides with an extra measure of grace. Success begins with seeking God’s honor first and foremost, regardless of where we fall on the political spectrum. Don’t limit yourself to chatting about the weather.
