    I am glad Pastors are willing to say “who” is right and wrong as well as “what” is right and wrong.

    Cool Joe. Keep at it!

    However, the Scriptures contain a philosophy of state that should be presented, albeit NOT in worship. Abraham Kuyper was a statesman and University founder who got the ball rolling on this in the 20th century.

    God bless man!

    Preaching Christ, all he stood for and accomplished, to my mind, is far and away the most political person/topic that one could hope to share with the world. More than a presidential candidate or a political ideology, Christ is the bearer of a new world and a new way to live. What could possibly be more political than asking people to trade in all their allegiances and worldly notions for the sake of following Jesus and living in the reality of God’s Kingdom? Go for it.

    Chris,

    I’m totally about a godly absolute monarchy as well. Divine right. Most Quebeckers would agree. (Just to stir up the pot).

    preach Christ crucified!(1 Cor 1:23)

    how funny that the ADF is asking churches to risk their tax exempt status by endorsing candidates yet is unwilling to do the same!

    The ADF is a recognized tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization and put this footnote on the publication I received:

    ADF does not endorse or oppose political parties or candidates, nor does it urge allegiance to any political party or candidate. ADF does believe that churches and pastors have the freedom to plainly speak Scriptural truth about the qualifications of candidates for public office regardless of the candidate’s political affiliation.

    whatever.

    preach Christ!
