Amen. Our nation needs revival, and this is one way to do it!

Remember though, it's the Lord, and not politics, first!

ABSOLUTELY!

THAT would be the WHOLE point of the undertaking; to emphasize to uninformed motards like Mr. Miller and Mr. Bositis that we are FIRST Christians, citizens of Another Kingdom, and that our political leanings are simply fallout from that; an expression of our righteous stewardship of this Nation, which The Almighty himself has established; that we could no more legitimately cease to impose our righteous influence upon politics than we could legitimately cease to be Christ's Ambassadors. Indeed, to cease to have influence would be indicative of a very dire, negative spiritual disaster in Christendom.

What these pointy-headed prisoners of politics cannot grasp is that the Christian Right is a political force because our obedience to Christ mandates that we be excellent stewards of all that He blesses us with, and that being citizens of the United States is part and parcel of that blessing. So, we have a spiritual requirement to be the BEST citizens we can be as a simple matter of good stewardship, which means that we engage the political dialog and we VOTE our conscience every chance we get.

Over and above that, we have been commissioned to "be salt and light" to the world in which we live, and inherent in that is the imlpicit directive to impact the politics of our nation, states, and local municipalities. Obviously, all of these entities would do well to have far MORE Christian influence, not less.
