Now, if all authorities have been placed there by God like Paul talks about, then perhaps a fixation on the political arena is not a good thing since it's God's will regardless of our wants. However, if Christians are to be salt and light and in the world without conforming to it, then what better place to instigate change on a large scale then in government?
I've certainly got opinions, but what I'd like to hear is your ideas on how involved and important (if at all) Christian involvement is in the political process and in the world of government? Tell me what you think?

One statement I heard in church one Sunday is that "you can't be politically correct and theologically sound"...it's not really an answer to your question, but it does correlate a little.
To answer your question, James will have to type something. He is the politic in our household.
I think I've heard that comment before and I have to say I agree. Make sure James chimes in then.
I'm holding out for the Theocracy.
Wow. I'm kinda late, but I was at camp all last week. Guess what the camp was about? Christians in politics. Well, it was more of a leadership camp, but it focused on politics.
Anyway, Christians have to be involved in politics. Without our involvement, evil will triumph. We have the Truth. But if we let the government go, who will shine the Light into that dark place?
Nobody.
So we have to be involved. We have to make sure our values are upheld in every part of society and what better way than to be in the government?
