Do you think Christians should be involved in politics?

Absolutely!

Many of our founding fathers were both Christian and politicans. Unfortunately, many Christians have abdicated their role in government, and our nation is now in such a spiral downturn ,that it would take a miracle to regain the ground the enemy has taken.

A politician by nature is a compromiser, and as Christians there are fundamental truths that we cannot compromise. A better word to describe a Christian politician should be statesman.

Maybe if Christians would've been more active, and saw their role in society, we wouldn't have the wholesale slaughter of babies (over 40 million now), maybe the Supreme Court would make honorable decisions, rather than letting the homosexual activists run the roost.

Yes, we should be active, unfortunately it will take Divine Intervention to turn this nation back on the right course.

I know some say to keep the state and church seperate, and sometimes I can see where that could be true. But still I think that a Christian has a responsiblity to be involved. If your not called to serve in office then christian need to vote. What happens if Christian don't, a person with nonChristian values will lead this country. So yes be involved. I have this saying too, if you don't vote then you don't have a right to complain, you let your oppertunity go when you didn't vote. The USA constintution was based on Christain Faith, and the bible so we need to keep it as close to a Godly nation as possible. ITs clearly becoming harder and harder for us to do that, we honestly need all the help and voices that we can get.

Thank you Psalm, musiclover...

I guess if you're moving by faith, who knows where that will take you--into politics, or wherever.

I guess you could argue that Moses, standing before Pharoah, was definitely involved in "politics"...
