Today many Christians talk of "reclaiming America for Christ" - "reclaiming the culture for Christ" - or "reclaiming government for Christ". If only we could "reclaim" these things, they say, the world would be so much better. The church would have so much greater influence.

A Reconstructionist mentality about the role of Christians in this present world reveals a tragic misunderstanding of what God's Word tells us in several key areas. What are those areas? What does God's Word say? Stay tuned to find out.
