I call them “California Christians” those that believe it is honorable to somehow separate “politics” from “faith”. I hate it when I hear someone say something to the effect of “our church isn’t political” or “we only preach the gospel and don’t get involved in politics.” That’s a false and unscriptural line. “Render unto Caesar” is taken out of context and misused to virtue signal and absolve Christians of their lack of engagement in society.

So tell me, what did the Apostle Paul mean when he wrote: For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 1 Cor 2:2

2 Tim 2:3-4 might pose an obstacle for some pastors, since it is a pastoral letter:
Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

If Christians want to pursue political causes, go at it, it's our right, but not from the pulpit. If the Word of God is being faithfully and boldly preached from the pulpit no political messages should be necessary.
