It's tough. Especially with the left wing politics(For the record, I'm Catholic), especially when I know for a fact they are wrong.
When I was in MBA school, I took a course named "power and politics" because I knew I was weak in that area. And I knew it was a skill I needed, to survive in the corporate world.
The first thing I learned, was that EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL.
Every decision that gets made in any organization whether it's family or church or corporation or government or whatever is political. Decisions are made by whomever has the formal or informal authority to do so. And informal authority can take a lot of forms.
What gives politics a bad name is when unethical techniques are involved. And politics often includes conflict and how that conflict is handled by respective parties can make politics distasteful as well.
But the use of ethical techniques and respectful conflict resolution is the hallmark of good leadership.
Jesus didn't come to set up an earthly administration. But to say he didn't care about politics is wrong. He ran the moneytraders out of the temple. And He wasn't very diplomatic about it either. He fought a lot of spiritual battles. He fought for his disciples through prayer. He excorcised political skill with pharisees when they were constantly trying to trap him. And He exercised both formal authority and informal authority brilliantly.
The church needs people who are willing to seek the will of God, do what's right and fight for the church, fight the spiritual battles. Paul didn't teach about spiritual armor for nothing.
