Even our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda. So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we engage in politics and respond when we find that our beliefs are at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of theworld are there in front of us at every turn? Cliff Sims, the son of a Baptist minister and man of deep Christian faith, has walked the halls of power, serving as a Special Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Director of National Intelligence. While working at the highest levels of the American government, he experienced firsthand the cutthroat world of power politics, an environment that can test the character of any follower of Jesus, and he wrestled continually with how to live out his faith. In this book, Cliff shares hard-earned wisdom from his time serving in government, giving Christians lessons on how to live faithfully and with integrity. Recounting stories from the West Wing, Air Force One, and top secret bunkers, Sims offers practical advice and biblical insight on how to let the light of Christ shine in our dark world, regardless of our politics. The Darkness Will Not Overcome is a must-read for every Christian who has found themselves exasperated by politics, fearful about the future, ordiscouraged by the times in which we live"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Christianity and politics $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z United States $x History. $9 90183 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Christian life $z United States $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240319011056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=151860E0E5B611EE96AABEA640ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
