Evangelicals don’t have flocks or shepherds. They have ministries. There is nothing wrong for pastors to coalesce on one candidate that is in their view closer to our nation’s cultural and religious heritage. Heck if gay, abortion, secular and atheistic groups can band to support their preference why not Christian evangelicals. Go pastors, go.
Not quite my point, but I’m not looking for an argument.
Christ didn’t get involved purposely in politics, but believers have that option. If we choose to do so, we should be careful and prayerful. I’ve seen a tendency to get pretty wrapped up in social issues; I’m personally interested in a bigger package that includes Constitutional fidelity, but I know that ultimately this system is going to break down, and at some point the Flag and the Cross diverge...
It is my fervent hope that we can forestall that day if God so wills- much as He promised to protect Israel from various threats if they would turn their face toward Him.
Some Christians, including Evangelicals are more interested in strictly saving souls thru evangelism. I can’t fault them.
