Are Christian Nationalists Right About the Constitution?

Dr. Owen Strachan dives into how the sovereignty of God is a tremendously comforting reality for Christians. It is a truth that competes with what unbelievers live by and vastly outweighs any principle or belief they seek to live by. The sovereignty of God is not a passive or wishy-washy truth, but a powerful and active reality. It is a pillow of truth that provides rest and comfort, but also serves as a launching pad for Christians to do all sorts of things for God. Christians should not be scared to rest in the sovereignty of God, as it is the softest pillow upon which they can lay their heads. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
