Politics has taken over our world, and everyone seems to have an opinion. Before we form our own, shouldn’t we stop and ask, “What does God think about politics?” Let’s explore the book of Proverbs for His answer. // 1. How can politics be a good and bad thing? What are the ways that governments can help or hurt their citizens? Why isn’t government perfect? // 2. Why do people get very upset about politics? How should Christians respond differently? How should we act toward those who disagree with us politically? // 3. Read Romans 12:14-21. How does this apply to how we view politics? How do people break these commands when it comes to politics? // Read Daniel 3:8-23. This is the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. How did the King’s politics affect them? What were they pressured to do? How did they respond, what happened, and how did God intervene? Read vv.24-30 for the miraculous ending.
