Christians Above Politics? Not Hardly.

One thing I hate more than anything else: a Christian who believes it is morally beneath him to participate in things that are not 100%, to-the-max, faith-related. Their goals are correct – God must be the center – but you cannot cut out everything. The biggest issue is politics. I have met so many, many people that think politics don’t matter or that they are too dirty for Christians. How far from the truth can you get? In order to continue to witness and to minister to those around you, you have to be able legally do so. It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that, either. In order for your voice to be heard, you have to protect your freedom of speech.

To impact this world for Christ, you have to be in this world. Sitting on the sideline watching everything pass you by will not give you a platform to speak from. We have to be active in this world – in all areas – in order to be, first, seen and then, heard.

Not to continually get on my soapbox but possibly the reason that Christians don’t want to become active in politics is because they see the contradictions of the two major parties. Republicans, the typically Christian party, voices support for freedom but never actually supports it completely. Democrats support freedom as long as you don’t get too Jesus-y on them. There is no happy medium… But wait! There is! Libertarianism allows everyone to have the freedom to do whatever they want. Yes this will allow bad things to happen but people are more likely listen to the message of Christ if your not trying to legislate their beliefs away (either side).
