A Christian approach to politics

After you order your copy of Dr. Andrew Jackson's book (see post below), check out his list of ten guidelines for How to engage in politics without losing your soul.

...over the years I have watched many Christians who became zealously active in partisan politics actually "lose their souls." That is, they lost their unique public witness as a Christian; they began to act contrary to the character of Christ and the fruit of the Holy Spirit; and they became agents of division within the church itself.

He encourages us to remember always the distinction between the Kingdom of God and kingdoms of this world, resist temptation to elevate a political figure to the status of "savior" or malign others for political gain, and pray for all government leaders regardless of affiliation.

Please see the entire list.
