Perhaps because the stakes are so high, or maybe because we just like to fight, this November’s historic election cycle has elicited some very strong, emotional responses among Christians of various political persuasions.
I believe that followers of Christ should be engaged in the political process in meaningful ways rather than withdrawing into our own insular dreamworld while, at the same time, recognizing that our ultimate hope is not in a particular politician or the political process. The idea of being part of the already but not yet Kingdom certainly creates tension for any of us who want to live out our faith missionally into our culture.
