Should Christians become involved in politics?
From WhyNotWiki
I'm not entirely sure yet. The jury's still out. I've heard pretty convincing arguments on both sides. So I will begin to compile these arguments and see if I can come to a decision...
Chuck Baldwin. Is "Jesus Is Coming Soon" A Reason To Be Apathetic? (http://newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin355.htm).
When responding to my pleas for Christians to get involved in helping to save the liberty and independence of these United States, I hear so many say, "All we can do is pray and win souls. After all, this is the fulfillment of prophecy, and Jesus is coming soon." When I hear Christians say those words, I want to scream.
Regardless of when Christ returns, He gave us clear instructions to "Occupy till I come." [Where does he say that???] To use the coming of Christ as an excuse to passively allow today's neocons, liberals, and globalists to undermine and destroy our country's heritage and future is inexcusable.
With a desire to encourage Christians to realize their responsibility and, yes, obligation, to aggressively resist those forces working to turn America into Huxley's Brave New World (which is nothing more than the modern attempt to create the ancient Tower of Babel), I recently preached a message entitled "Occupy Till I Come." Interestingly enough, Jesus spoke those words upon hearing that the disciples expected Him to immediately set up His Kingdom. [Where??? Bible text please?]
In other words, Jesus was telling the disciples that, regardless of when He would establish His Kingdom on the earth, they had a job to do! That message still holds true for Christians today.
This extremely relevant and timely message can now be viewed and downloaded here.
