At Red State Reform, we equip and inspire Christians to take civic action under Christ the King. We have identified three guiding principles to help you pursue meaningful civic action in a way that honors the Lord.
Let’s take each in turn.
Truth
The Lord Jesus said in His high priestly prayer, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17). The Word of God is the infallible source of truth, and we do not shy away from declaring it as our ultimate authority. At the root of what compels and guides us is this simple conviction: because God has said.
Prayer
We seek the Lord in prayer as a first (not a last) resort. This is critical because the Lord’s blessing is essential for any meaningful work to be done. We can strive, labor, toil, and think we’ve truly accomplished something–yet in the end be no further along than when we started. As the Psalmist says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).
Action
The first two pillars naturally give rise to the third. Believers must not sit idly by while our country collapses. We ought not throw our hands in the air or remove ourselves from public life because it is “too dirty.” As ambassadors for Christ, we must engage. We must fight. We must act. We must do something. And in all of this, we must proclaim the gospel.
Truth. Prayer. Action. These guide everything we do. With these pillars firmly in place, we seek to equip and encourage you to engage in civic action in a way that honors the Lord and preserves freedom for the next generation.
