Political winds change. I am not a fan of politics in the pulpit, Not sure it is right or wrong. For you who are reading this. Do you have strong feeling either way________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I have very strong feelings against politics in the pulpit. We are called to preach the gospel. Nothing more, nothing less. Why? Because the gospel is enough. Yes, it is easy to politicize the message if one is so inclined to do so. There are any number of preachers out there preaching their version of Nationalism cloaked in scripture. Personally, I don’t need anyone, especially from the pulpit, encouraging me who to vote for as I am perfectly able to determine the issues and vote my conscience. Obviously, not all Christians can say this as evidenced by the numbers of voters who are still undecided just hours away from Election Day. It concerns me greatly that a pastor would use his position of authority to influence people to vote for his own political preferences. Then again, I’ve heard COG officials do the same thing with a wink wink. Full disclosure: one of the primary reasons why I am so adamantly opposed to preachers using their pulpit to sway the congregation to vote a certain way is because I hear it regularly in the church I currently attend________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
