Mike's Question

Mike, a friend, asked me for my opinion about

Christians serving in political positions.  He gave a

specific example of serving as a United States senator.



Here is my email response:

Mike,



A good question, but one that can't be answered by

referring to a particular verse or verses.



This isn't unusual, for example, there's no one verse that

literally says that abortion is sinful, but most

conservative Christians infer from Scripture that abortion

is wrong because of the general biblical teachings on

related issues.



I think that political involvement is a similar situation.



Here is a link that I agree with; it presents my opinion

better than I could.
