BIBLICAL CITIZENSHIP IS ENGAGING THE CULTURE FOR YOUR FAMILY
AND YOUR VALUES
What comes to mind when you hear the term public policy?
Christians embrace the biblical command to engage the culture for Jesus Christ; yet just one mention
of the P wordspublic policy or politicsand there may be an awkward silence and a quick shift
in the conversation.
Did you know that engaging the culture for Christ and engaging in the culture are inextricably
intertwined? Indeed, they are!
We hope this months free resource will inspire you and your family as you
connect the dots between the two in a fun, creative way! And dont forget to join
in the conversation. Let us know how your family engages the culture.

HEROES OF FAITH
No matter the age or the era, everyone has a hero they admire, look up to or try to emulate. Athletes and
movie stars are typical cultural icons, but what about Heroes of the Faith?
Do you have one?
William Wilberforce, an 18th-century advocate for the abolition of the
slave trade, is often cited as a Christian hero. In fact, the challenges
of todays moral decline and the epidemic growth of human trafficking
are remarkably similar to those Wilberforce faced. With conviction,
integrity, courage and, most importantly, perseverance, he stood by his
God-given convictionsoftentimes alone.

Nevertheless, the late Chuck Colson calls Wilberforce the quintessential example of how Christians can
and shouldeffectively engage the culture and the public square.
There is no one in history who has had more of an influence on my life than William
Wilberforce ... He was a young man rising in Parliament in the 1780s, and then
became a very active Christian. He took on the campaign to abolish the slave trade
because that was the most heinous violation of human rights ever ... He made this
successful stand and the slave trade was abolished in 1807. Slavery itself was
abolished in 1833, five days before he died.
The interesting thing is he never let his focus be just politics. He knew that you
couldnt change things with just politics. He famously said,God has given me two
great objectives: the abolition of the slave trade and the reformation of manners. He
understood that you could end this systemic evil; but unless you at the same time
worked to change the attitudes and habits and beliefs of the people, you werent
going to solve the problem. He did both. He took on a hundred different causes over
those next 35 years that he lived. He should be a model for us today as to how we
engage the public square.
Discuss as a family who your heroes of faith are.

Just for Parents

Advocating on your childrens behalfguarding their innocence, teaching them how to stand up against
the pressures to conform to the culture and be salt and light in their spheres of influencecan be a
daunting task for any parent.
Thats why we want to come alongside
you and give you the tools youll need to
answer the tough questions, and to help
connect the dots in the minds of your
children between faith, social issues and
public policy.

Policy Primer for Parents

CitizenLink, the public policy affiliate of Focus on the Family, had a chance to interview the late Chuck
Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, about
biblical citizenship. His concise responses are tailor-made to be a social policy primer to the most
common misconceptions about Christian involvement.
1. Im just so busy. I dont have time to even think about politics or public policy.
The child theyre raising is going to be shaped not only by their paternal/maternal responsibility, but
by the culture around us. We are products of both nature and nurture. And theres no way you can
have that child, no matter how well youve protected them, go off to a public school today without
having everything that you believe to be sacred challenged. So youve got to care about whats going
on. I know what it is to be busy and work hard, and be preoccupied with things. [But] the same way
you need a devotional time in the morning, you also need a time when youre reflecting on whats
going on in the world around you and how you can be engaged in it.
2. So what is the proper role of every Christian?
Christians have a duty to be engaged in the political process. The very least we should be doing is
voting. We should be the best of citizens. We should bring the values of the kingdom of God to bear in
the kingdom of man.
3. What about the so-called Separation of Church and State?
There are people today saying we Christians shouldnt be involved with these things (public policy and
politics), and to just be a faithful presence where we are. Thats bad advice. We need to be involved
with the world around us, because we live as Christians with a worldview which is in conflict with the
worldview of the society we live in. We should be constantly, winsomely, lovingly pushing Christian
truth into the public square.

Just for Parents

4. What are the most important social policies parents should care about?
I think its the most important thing going on in America today in terms of policy; to be able to take a
stand on the major moral issues of the day. Life, family and marriage, and religious liberty are the three
burning issues. Those are the threshold to all other issues.
5. What does being engaged in the culture look like, practically speaking?
[It] means voting. It means getting involved in politics. It means arguing before the school board.
It means all the things Christians should do as citizens. But dont put your element of trust there.
Politics has become so big and powerful and controlled by the special interests that the only way
its going to be reformed is the culture. And when you stop to think about it, politics is simply a
reflection of the values of the culture. You change the culture, you will change the politics. If politics
is sick, it means the culture is sick, and we Christians are responsible for the culture. So get engaged
in culture to begin to change the
public attitudes because that will be
reflected ultimately in how the country
is changed. I hope everybody gets
involved and gets active and prays.

voice heard despite the busyness of everyday lifewe invite you to dig into these resources:

Teaching Your Children Why

Christians Should Vote
Voter Registration

by Tom Minnery, Senior Vice President, Government and Public Policy, Focus on the Family
I was a young reporter covering my first big election, a U.S. Senate race in New York
featuring a colorful candidate named Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Ill never forget what
happened one morning in New York City.
I was following Moynihan through several campaign stops. To his first audience he shouted a question: How
many are registered to vote? About half of the people raised their hands. At the next stop he asked again,
with a bit less enthusiasm, and he got the same result. I happened to be behind him that time, and
I could see his shoulders slump a little. At his third stop, he didnt even bother to ask.
I have often thought back to that morning, wondering why anyone who wasnt registered to vote would
bother to hear a candidate speak in the heat of a campaign. I suppose that the right to vote has become so
routine that we forget what a privilege it is. But we shouldnt. We all recall those wonderful news photos from
January 2005, when Iraqi citizens, newly freed from oppression and granted the right to
vote for the first time in a general election, proudly held up purple-stained fingers to show they had indeed
participated.
Their exuberance reminds us how valuable free elections are, particularly when the absence of elections
leads to tyranny, as it did so tragically in Iraq. By the way, the turnout in Iraq that year, despite murderous
threats from al-Qaida, was 70 percent of eligible voters. Two months before in the U.S., our own general
election turnout was 58 percent. Not in the last 100 years has our own voter participation matched that of
Iraqs newly enfranchised citizens in 2005.
Our freedoms depend on active citizens who understand some basic moral principlesright from wrong,
good from badand who take the time to find and support candidates who will act on those principles.
Thats why Focus on the Family has been emphasizing all year the importance of people registering and
voting. We expect to be able to report to you in a few months how many people actually did so as a result of
our efforts and your prayers and financial support.
This basic privilege of citizenship should never be taken for granted, and its never too early to begin
impressing it on the hearts of our children. Here are some activities families can engage in to be sure that as
children grow, they understand the importance of voting and they look forward to that important day when
they, too, can participate as informed voters.

Teaching Your Children Why

Christians Should Vote
Activity for 0- to 3-year-olds
A very young child wont understand an abstract concept such as voting.
However, heres a simple activity to teach your toddler about the
election process.
Line up three kitchen chairs, and place one of your toddlers three favorite
stuffed animals on each chair. Tell all your children that youll hold an
election to determine which stuffed animal will join the family for dinner.
Give everyone a small square of paper (the secret ballot), and have each
person vote for one of the three choices. Your toddler can draw a simple
picture of his favorite, or you can jot down his vote.
Collect the ballots, tally the votes, announce the winner and pin a paper star
to the stuffed animals chest to make him the winner of the election. Explain
that in America we have the privilege to vote for our leaders, in the same
way your family voted for your favorite stuffed animal.
Dr. Bill Maier

From Gods Word

To help a child learn to make responsible decisions, parents have much to

teach through modeling.
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 11:1)

Developmental Milestones
As you teach about elections, consider
whats going on developmentally with
your toddler:

Like the adolescent, the 2-year-old is

undergoing major changes in his body and
mind; he is still learning about the limits of
his power and independence, and he tends
to feel intensely about nearly everything.
If he likes something, he can be ecstatic
about it . . . If he wants something and you
wont let him have it, you may be shocked
by the intensity of his reaction.

Teaching Your Children Why

Christians Should Vote
Activity for 4- to 7-year-olds

You can help your preschooler or school-age child understand the concept of majority rulewhere we
abide by the decision of the majority (even when we disagree).
Reserve a Saturday afternoon for your kids to do an activity of their choosing. The choices should have a
similar fun quotient, such as: 1. Play at a neighborhood park; 2. Swim at a local pool; or 3. Go out for ice
cream. Note: Choose activities that will split the vote among your kids.
Have family members vote for their favorite, tally the votes and announce
the winning activity. One or more of your children may be unhappy with the
result. Empathize with the losers, and explain that although disappointed,
theyll need to respect the outcome of the election.
While youre enjoying your ice cream (thats what Id choose), explain that in
the United States we dont have a king or dictator who makes decisions for
us. Instead, we (the people) have the privilege and responsibility to sign up
to vote and then select leaders who represent our values.
Dr. Bill Maier

From Gods Word

As your kids hear about the coming elections, now is a good time to discuss
Gods desire for us to submit to our countrys chosen leaders.
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities,
for there is no authority except that which God has established.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.
(Romans 13:1)

Developmental Milestones

As you teach your child about choices and

majority rule, consider whats going on
developmentally at ages 4 to 7 years old:
Developments in your childs intellect and
speech will enable you to communicate
with him in much more sophisticated
ways. He will still be intensely curious
about the world around him and is now
better equipped to learn about it. More
important, he will also want to understand
how you see things both great and small
and what is important to you . . . This
wide-eyed openness will not last forever.
While you will greatly influence his thinking
throughout childhood, during the coming
months you will have an important window
of opportunity to lay foundations that will
affect the rest of his life.

Teaching Your Children Why

Christians Should Vote
Activity for 13- to 18-year-olds

Teens are learning about citizenship and democracy at school. As the election approaches, its also likely
that theyve noticed the avalanche of radio and TV commercials advocating for particular candidates.
Ask your teen what theyve heard about candidates or political parties. Then, explain what you know
about a certain candidate or political party. Dont be afraid to state your opinion, but support your position
with reasonable arguments.
For example, you might say, We think that Mrs. Smith is the best candidate for governor because she
believes that people who work hard should be allowed to keep more of their own money. Then explain
what taxation is and what percentage of each dollar you earn goes to federal, state and local taxes.
You might also say, I wont vote for Mr. Green because the U.S. Army says he lied about his military
service. We need to be able to trust our political leaders.
Talk about the responsibility and privilege of voting, and explain how
voting is a way to be involved in government and culture. Check out
FocusOnTheFamily.com/socialissues for more about how your involvement
in the political process is a continuation of your faith.
Consider taking your children, of all ages, with you to your polling place
on Election Day. This will show your kids that youre serious about voter
responsibility.
Dr. Bill Maier

From Gods Word

Encourage your teen to seek Gods wisdom as she embarks on the great
responsibility she has to influence the political process as well as those
around her.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given
to him. (James 1:5)

Developmental Milestones

With teens, youre able to have in-depth

conversations about how voting affords the
opportunity to represent your values. Heres
whats going on developmentally:
Teens tend to find at least one group they
identify with that provides friendships,
fun and a sense of identity. Church and
service organizations, athletics, performing
arts, academics and even political/social
activism will bring kindred spirits together.
Idealism may flourish during these years,
and commitments made to God and basic
values can be fervent and life-changing. If
you share one or more of these interests,
you can cement deep and satisfying bonds
with your teenager.

Encouraging Teens to Become Informed Voters
In our nation, citizens are granted the extraordinary privilege to vote at age 18. As your teen approaches
voting age, discuss the importance of being politically and culturally engaged.
Talk with your teen about current events and happenings from your community, discussing these
events from a biblical worldview. Have your teen make a list of seven or eight issues that matter to
her. Then have her weigh the candidates based on key issues or platforms that the candidates hold
or support. Have your teen gather information on how each candidate voted in any previous elected
position they may have held as well. Visit CitizenLink.com for information about current events and topics
related to the election.
Also, TeenPact Leadership Schools offer four-day classes held at the state capitols of 38 states.
TeenPact students meet officials, interview lobbyists, view campaign disclosures, improve their public
speaking skills, conduct their own TeenPact legislature and analyze public policy from a biblical
worldview. Learn more at TeenPact.com. This new information may help equip and inform your teen as
she becomes a registered voter.
Assist your teen with registering to vote. Each state has its own process, but in recent years, states
have made voter registration easier. Visit Commit2Vote2012.com to find out your states requirements.
Remember: Some states have a registration deadline 30 days before Election Day.
If your teen attends college in a different state, there are two registration options. If she is a legal resident
of the state where she attends school, she can register and vote in that state. If she lives in a dorm,
she most likely has residency in her home state (the address on her drivers license) and can vote by
absentee ballot.
