The primary concern for ENGAGE is the advance of the kingdom of God not politicians nor political parties. We believe that the kingdom of God is progressively advancing and will do so until it fills the whole earth (Daniel 2). The primary agent for this advance is the Church. The Church is to be faithfully engaging culture with the witness of the kingdom of God through preaching, praying, and fruit-bearing. This witness is to be made to all humans, human institutions, and human rulers. The scriptures reveal that the Spirit, through the apostle Paul, clearly calls the Church to pray for rulers (1 Timothy 2:1,2) and to witness to the gospel of the kingdom before kings (Acts 9:15). We believe it to be a scriptural mandate for the Church to engage governmental leaders with the gospel, prayer, ethics, and the love of kingdom of God. Sadly this is a missing theological chromosome in the missional DNA of the Church that needs to be restored. Our conviction in this area includes many scriptures and scriptural stories in the Bible. ENGAGE exists to see the Church become more faithful to and fruitful in this clear biblical mandate.
