Poll Closed

Thanks for those who voted and shared their opinions about whether or not Christians are too political.  You'd think after practically two full days of studying this that I'd have reached a conclusion and moved on, and for the most part I'm pretty sure I've reached a fair conclusion.  Just trying to figure out how to "package" it so it makes sense and isn't me just spouting off what I think, but deals accurately with what (little) actual directives God's given us in this area.

I do think it's interesting and would go so far as to say that for some in the Christian community, political activism and influence has become an idol.  And yet for others, the idea that Christians shouldn't really worry or spend time and energy in the political arena seems simplistic and weak at best.  All this to say it should be another interesting week.
