Paul Lamey: The Pilgrim in a Politically Charged World | Truth In Love 2026

In this powerful session from Truth In Love 2026, Paul Lamey delivers a timely message titled "The Pilgrim in a Politically Charged World." As cultural tensions rise and political divisions deepen, Paul Lamey turns to the book of 1 Peter to provide a biblical framework for how Christians should navigate life as "elect exiles" and sojourners. Sermon Summary Paul Lamey begins by acknowledging the "politically schizophrenic" nature of our current generation. Rather than offering political commentary or partisan advice, Paul Lamey directs the listener to the distinct identity of the believer. He argues that Christians often feel "politically homeless" because their true citizenship is in heaven. Through a detailed exposition of 1 Peter, Paul Lamey outlines how the church must function not as a political action committee, but as an embassy of the Kingdom of God. Throughout this sermon, Paul Lamey asks four critical questions to help believers assess their walk in a hostile culture: Am I living in light of the fear of God? Paul Lamey explains that the "fear of Yahweh" is the beginning of wisdom and the necessary filter for all cultural engagement. Do I understand the mission of the church? Paul Lamey warns against "mission drift," emphasizing that the church's goal is to proclaim the excellencies of Christ, not to transform culture through political power. Do I understand how to live in the world? Paul Lamey expounds on Peter's command to keep behavior excellent among the Gentiles, highlighting that our conduct is a primary tool for evangelism. Do I understand the place of God-ordained authority? In a challenging section, Paul Lamey provides historical context regarding Emperor Nero to illustrate that Peter’s command to submit to authority applies even under wicked rulers, provided we do not violate God's law.
