Exactly...

Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

1Co 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.

No he isn’t reduced down to campaign slogans and platforms. Didn’t you read the article or visit the weblink?
This church is starting a sermon series that uses SCRIPTURE to tell of the message of Jesus Christ.
So many people are looking to politicians & new legislation to change their lives when they should be looking to Jesus for real change. The platform is from Jesus Christ, it is the gospel. This is no different than when Paul uses this comparison in Athens (Acts 17: 16-34)vs.23 “for as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you”.

So please tell me how that demeans Christianity or Christ? This Pastor is just looking at the world around him that is so enthralled with what politician is going to bring about the greatest change, when REAL change would happen if all would turn to Christ.
