Tozer on Christian Nationalism

Let us beware, however, in trying to nationalize Christianity. There is great danger in fusing Christianity with politics and using the gospel of Christ as a tool to political ends. May it never be so. Truth is master itself and is never to be used as a tool to an end that lies outside the truth.—A.W. Tozer, Living as a Christian, 148

Tozer was continually warning about this danger—and that was over 70 years ago! We haven't learned anything, have we?

I recall the first time I ran across one of his warnings. It was just before the 2004 elections. He was warning about giving too much stock to the (then) forthcoming 1960 elections, between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Tozer was no friend of Roman Catholicism, so wasn't too hot on Kennedy, but he did not allow that to color his warnings to his flock. He specifically told them that the results of the election had no effect on the power of God—and to think otherwise was to domesticate God into an American mold.

Would that people heeded his warnings! And would that they heeded them now!
