There is an old gospel truth that keeps resurfacing in American music and faith traditions: before you can claim righteousness, you must first unload your burdens—your greed, your cruelty, your lies, and your indifference to the suffering of others. Grace is not something you wear like a campaign button; it is something that demands accountability.
That is why the behavior of so many self-identified Christian Republicans is so troubling.
They speak endlessly of Jesus, yet oppose feeding the hungry.
They praise the Prince of Peace, yet glorify violence and vengeance.
They demand moral purity from others, while excusing corruption, cruelty, sexual abuse, and outright dishonesty from political leaders who serve their interests.
Christian faith, at its core, is not about power, wealth, or dominance. It is about humility, repentance, and compassion. You cannot hoard privilege, demonize the poor, scapegoat immigrants, mock the sick, and then claim the moral high ground simply because you say the word “Christian.”
The message echoed through generations of gospel music is clear: redemption is not free of responsibility. You don’t get to keep your sins, your hatred, and your hypocrisy and still pass yourself off as saved. You must unload.
Until Christian Republicans are willing to unload their fear, their obsession with power, and their tolerance for cruelty, their public faith rings hollow. What they are practicing is not Christianity—it is politics wrapped in scripture.
Faith without integrity is just noise.
