Christian Union Affirms
The Holy Spirit says in James 2:17: “in the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
There are social implications of the faith that all true Christians should observe, including:
- The need to protect the unborn;
- The need to end the evil of racial discrimination;
- The need to help the poor;
- The stewardship of our environment;
- The need for justice and integrity in government;
- The avoidance of greed and materialism, including giving at least 10% of income to the Lord; and
- The reaffirmation that sex belongs only in the context of marriage between a man and a woman.
In addition to these moral stances, there are other social issues that we as a ministry do not specifically condemn or endorse because true Christians through the ages have been divided on them. These include the death penalty, pacifism, drinking, dancing, and gambling. Every Christian Union employee will have his own views on these matters, but we as a ministry do not have a set view.
Our moral stances are derived from the Bible, and we strive to follow them and live up to them. We realize that all people are fallible, and our practice is such that when we transgress God’s laws, we confess and repent of our sins in order to continue to walk in fellowship with Him.
