This will take a compete turnover of RNC leadership and philosophy. May God give us the courage to make it happen!

Amen, sister! We have got to get away from the mentality of whoever sounds the best. Gingrich says some things that really worry me, too, including that the Patriot Act isn’t strong enough. Seriously? He sure likes his shock factor is all I can say.

@Joshua – thanks so much!

@Wesley – I think a true Christian will be a true patriot as well. It’s very commendable to love your homeland. What we’re seeing is a nation full of people who have forgotten how to be patriots or Christians, so they fake it as best they can.

@Jon David – interesting question. I think you’d really see the government running scared, and it might get kind of ugly for a while. However, if enough pastors stood firm, any efforts of the government and the IRS to stamp it out would only fan the flames.

@Tim – you’re exactly right. We’re commanded to be salt and light in every area of life and society. Good point about the abolition movement, and I’m intrigued by your mentioning the suffrage movement. Must check that out.

VERY well put! If the church had not been so vocal on politics and governance, we would not have had the fervor for the American Revolution, or for women’s suffrage, or the abolition of slavery in the US.

The church and Christians need to raise their voice for good and for righteousness, even in the political arena.
