I read an article in the Wall Street Journal today about the new voice of the Southern Baptist Convention, Russel Moore. The headline of the article reads, "Evangelical Leader Preaches Pullback From Politics, Culture Wars." While Mr Moore has since tried to explain his statements, the question still remains... Should Christians pull back from politics? Of course not... In fact, Christians should be doing the exact opposite. While I agree that Christians should avoid the grandstanding and the posturing that has overtaken modern politics, Christians need to be active in politics if we hope to see change of any kind. If no one speaks out for the truth, how will anything be changed for the better? If Christians pull back from politics, we remove salt and light from a place where it is desperately needed.
Check out the article for yourself.
