Too Heavenly Minded, Too Earthly Useles?- Why the Church Must Respond to the Issues Tearing Apart the Nation

May 22, 2026 by Zigfred Diaz Leave a Comment

“What is this going to profit the body of Christ?” That question, asked in response to a theological paper on the ICC controversy and Bato dela Rosa’s arrest, reveals a deeper problem within the modern Church itself. Somewhere along the way, many Christians began treating justice, governance, abuse of power, and national moral responsibility as “too political” for the gospel. But Scripture tells a different story. The prophets confronted kings. John the Baptist rebuked rulers. Paul reasoned about justice before governors. The Church was never called to escape the world, but to bring every sphere of life under the Lordship of Christ. This article is a theological and prophetic reckoning with the burning issues tearing apart the nation, and a challenge to a sleeping Church that too often remains silent while society collapses around it
