The Altar Is Christ’s, Not a Campaign Stage

Pastors must speak truth to power. Scripture calls us to defend the poor and rebuke injustice. But endorsing a candidate from the pulpit crosses the line into carnality. The altar belongs to Christ, not to any party. Every church has members with different political convictions. When a pastor pushes one candidate as “God’s choice,” he risks alienating the flock. If a pastor wants to campaign, let him do so as a citizen. He can write articles, speak at rallies, or debate in the public square. The pulpit should serve God’s voice, not political emotions. Church is a house of prayer, worship, and truth. Turning it into a campaign stage divides believers and burdens consciences with what Scripture never commanded.
