   I believe its wrong to place Christianity in any political group, we should have a voice in what we think should be legislated but to trust in ungodly men to up hold Godly standards that’s , we can’t be that out of touch . We have become so dependent on our government its out of control . No political party can deliver us out the sinful mess this world is in , Jesus is the answer , He always has and always will be. Government is the most compromising , changing forum you can think of outside a cult. Jesus Christ is consistant and unchanging let’s depend on Him.

   I think the religious right has blurred the line between getting someone into office who is pro-life and Christian responsibility to be salt and light. Because of this blurring many have settled for having a republican president and majority in congress in hopes of having abortion overturned; while neglecting the necessary and biblical approach of converting hearts, the church has settled on an approach of converting laws. I think the partisan mentality crept into much of the church through this blurring to the point where a lot of Christians have been looking the other way with things in the past 8 years because ‘our guy’ is in office. Maybe we will start getting back to first things first.

   I’ve noticed again and again, the same things Christians are criticizing Obama for they were utterly silent when Bush did the same things.

   I think we ought to be involved politically, be informed, be part of the process; but if we cannot continue to be objective where truth is concerned, and if we cannot keep first things first…. then what’s the use?

   My point is that the moral climate severely needs adjusting, and that is not going to be done through a politically active church, but by a praying church.

   With regards to preaching the Gospel and being active in politics, it’s a case of both and not either or. As Dr. Brown said on this show, preaching the Gospel is the primary responsibility of the church, but fulfilling the command to be ‘salt and light’ also means being active in society including being active in politics. Politics is about government, government is about law, law is about morality, so why should we leave politics to the secularists and atheists to impose their ungodly agenda on the nations?

   Since politics are of the body politic of humanity, and that is the arena of the waters on which to sow the seed, and cast one’s bread, it must be that believers are called also to so serve in this arena. With the wide variety of interests and devotions of this world, it would seem appropriate for a believer to require extra accountability structure in place when moving toward a political vocation. We also have to recognize that this is the sound bite generation, where commitment is not in the mix so to speak.
