Why are so many Christians still reluctant to engage in the political process?

Such a lovely Church. I miss Grandma and Grandpa greatly. They helped raise me up to be a preacher, it took me years, but I am here! Grandma spoke over me in 1974 that I would be a preacher! Glory!

While the whole world is waiting on edge for finality in the US elections, this is a good time to address the question of why so many Christians are still reluctant to engage in the political process.

It is true that politics can be a turnoff, and election campaigns are outrageously expensive and can often bring out the worst in us. It also is true that, as Christians, we belong to a Kingdom which is “not of this world.” (John 18:36)

TIME TO RESCUE THE ETHIOPIAN REMNANT

Over the coming months, the ICEJ is taking on an urgent challenge – assisting with a wave of 2,000 Ethiopian Jews being brought home to Israel.

Aliyah flights for these Ethiopian Jews are scheduled to start in December and will take several months to complete. The costs per person for bringing them home to Israel is currently higher than normal, but the Israeli government has decided to bring them as soon as possible. And the Jewish Agency is looking to the ICEJ to support this urgent Aliyah effort as much as we can.

The ICEJ has flown over 2,200 Ethiopian Jewish immigrants to Israel in recent years, including 268 olim so far this year – despite the Corona travel bans. Now the opportunity is here to bring home another 2,000 Ethiopian Jews who are desperate to reach Israel. It’s time for us to act!

RENDER UNTO CAESAR

While the whole world is waiting on edge for finality in the US elections, this is a good time to address the question of why so many Christians are still reluctant to engage in the political process.

It is true that politics can be a turnoff, and election campaigns are outrageously expensive and can often bring out the worst in us. It also is true that, as Christians, we belong to a Kingdom which is “not of this world.” (John 18:36)

Yet, I find it indefensible for Christians not to at least vote. But there are still far too many Christians who are fatalistic about the way things are going. Others misconstrue the separation of church and state, believing the mantra of our detractors that Christians should keep our religious views to ourselves. Thus, they voluntarily muzzle their own voice. But this is wrong!
