I have thought about this many times and have not come to a final conclusion. Based on Jesus’ comments “give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s” should we be running for political office?
Should our focus be solely on heavenly things?
What about lobbying?
Does it make sense to spend the church’s funds (a lot of it given by those who have little), on trying to influence rich politician who we just make richer. While there are brothers and sisters and even people in our community going for want. Isn’t our first priority to care for others? To extend love to others both in words and action
“this world is not my home I’m only passing thru” if this is so why worry so much about what happens. Isn’t Christ going to ‘right the ship’ and bring proper rule to the earth?
Then again we are citizens too, just as we pay taxes and maintain our property are we not obligated to care for and participate in anyway to better our community? Even if it means that we are the best person to govern.
Wouldn’t a ‘God lead’ person govern better than one that is not?
Wouldn’t it be the perfect chance to right some of the wrongs concerning the down trodden and to help the poor?
Aaaaahhh! I can’t decide
