The issue is whether winning converts to Christ (from all political spectra) is more important than winning political converts to conservative causes or standing up for those (like the unborn) who need protection.
It’s a tough call and reasoned minds can differ. I think there is room for both. My church made a conscious effort to tone down the politics a few years ago and I now see some Obama stickers in the parking lot and a more diverse group in the pews.
The question is whether those people are being transformed by the Holy Spirit and will eventually come over politically or will they try to turn the church into another gay-affirming abortion-loving liberal church. I’ve known many of our elders for years and I don’t think they would let the latter happen. Sometimes God asks you to step out in faith and let Him do the soul-changing.
On the other hand, the church still supports Crisis Pregnancy Centers and other ministries that are doing the work of a conservative outreach. They just aren’t attaching a GOP brand name to it.
Bless your efforts, Gina. Just know the Lord sometimes converts quietly. Otherwise, I would have no hope this November.
Thank you, OrangeHoof.
