Should Christians be in politics?

That is a very common question these days. What do you think the answer should be? Have you really thought about it or are you like me and so many others? Naturally the government and those that do not know the Lord will say no. This comes under the deception and out right lie of the phrase coined "separation of Church and state." The answer should be an absolute YES.



If we think for a moment and look back we will conclude that our founding fathers knew that without God this new nation would not prevail. There are many many quotes from them, here is one by Benjamin Franklin. " I have lived,Sir a long time and the longer I live,the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: "That God governs in the affairs of man: and if a sparrow can not fall with out His notice, IS it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that : except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it. Ps.127:1 If a house certainly a nation.


How great it would be if the leaders of this nation would humble them selves and depend on God's wisdom instead of the strife and confusion that comes out of the limited natural mind.

God says that the wisdom of man is foolishness to Him. This is why we all need to have our minds renewed by the Word. Rom 12: 1@2.


If more of our elected officials would have even half the love and respect for God that Franklin, Webster, Jefferson, Adams, Garfield, Washington, and Lincoln, had then they would love the country the way these men did. Not a self serving love that is dominate in politicians today.


The introduction to our constitution gives its intent and purpose and these are all scriptural.
1 A more perfect union
2 Establish Justice
3 ensure domestic tranquility
4 common defence
5 promote general welfare
6 secure the blessings of liberty.

If one looks they will see that these are all Biblical and God has provided them in His government, the Kingdom of God. The three branches of our government follows Isa. 33

The Lord is our judge: (Judicial branch)

The Lord is our lawgiver :(Legislative Branch )The Book of the law Bible

The Lord is our King: (Executive Branch) He executes the Law His Word

Every Christian needs to know why we are a Christian nation. It has nothing to do with how many Christians are living here now. YES Mr. OBAMA we are a Christian nation and you declaring it not to be is sheer ignorance on your part . Or are you wishful thinking.

Christians we can have a profound effect on our government and we should. We will stand before God one day and He will ask Why?

Why did you not pray as instructed in 1Tim. 2 verses 1,-3 He would not tell us to pray if He was going to do nothing about it.

The liberals are looking for Civil liberty. God tells us how to walk in liberty. 2Cor.3:17. They try to throw God out of everything and wonder why they have no liberty or peace.

God desires our restoration to the strong moral honest country we had in the beginning. Politicians with out Christ is no different than any other person with out Christ. Being liars,
deceitful and self centered.
In conclusion think about all this for a moment. If God calls people to Himself and requires them to repent and live a Christ like life: why then should a Christian not be in a public office.

God desires His people to be leaders, to set an example to the world that He is awesome, loving and cares about them. Yes Christians should be in government.
