If a Pastor preaches the full counsel of God then politics have no place. The Christian will know how to vote.

Too late. My libtard church leans left and kisses illegal alien ass with their trilingual mass which is filipino, English and mex. No wonder i get headaches. I dont remember the Lord preaching 3 languages to the flock to appease each one of them...

Several years ago, I walked out of a Presbyterian Church when the minister began speaking on the Vietnam War and we veterans...He said that it was an unjust war and we who participated were going to Hell...No doubt about it...

he came out to my car after the service and asked why I walked out...I just said I was a veteran. He just turned and walked away...

I never went back.

Word!
Don’t allow anybody to tell you what the Bible said.
Read it! Read a vintage copy that hasn’t been tampered with!

Even if it’s only for the sake of situational awareness, take stake of what is happening in many of the mainline churches, whose pastors have become the latest breed of political activists, trading the Gospel of Christ for politics, all for the 30 pieces of silver called government grants.

Political activists at the pulpit, derelict in duty, have conveniently forgotten that it is the souls and not the politics of the faithful that need saving.

If a pastor’s sermon necessarily relates about the current condition of people’s hearts and the increasing evil in the world, I don’t see how he can avoid stepping into the realm of politics. Evil is now legislatively sanctioned and governments openly practice it.

I agree on 1 hand. On the other hand, if pastor preaches the bible and refences the ungodly and unjust crimes and sins being committed in society today; there is othing wrong with that.
In fact it infuriates me more that conservative denominations do not even mention the evil all around us. As if allike we have to do is pray and read our bible and everything will be ok. No! God created us to be His! And He is a God of action!

If he succeeds, you may not be a Bible believing Christian.

Without pastors preaching liberty from the pulpit there is no American Revolution.

My pastor has come out against Trump, apparently he doesn’t believe that God can use Trump to his advantage. It would seem to me that if he took and used Saul (an imperfect man), he could use Trump - he’s certainly imperfect.

Screwtape on politics: Let him begin by treating his Patriotism or Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of a partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the “cause”... Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours — and the more “religious” (on those terms) the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here. - CS Lewis

I see this a lot on here.

Our pastor is a very young guy but he hails from the Ukraine, so he knows the score. He doesn’t talk politics during the sermon but he is well aware of the risk of political Islam, and of Russia’s Putin. Unlike our previous pastor at another Church who said “gay marriage” isn’t really a big deal for him. But yes, leftism and social justice is too big a part of many Christians.
