Should Christians be involved in politics? Should pastors preach about political events from the pulpit? Many believer that Christians should not do either. But can that claim be substantiated from Scripture? Throughout the Old Testament we see many men of God in governing places and in the King's courts being lights in the darkness. In the early history of our nation we see colonial clergy members influencing the American Revolution by the sermons they preached as well as taking up arms to fight for our freedoms. We can thank the active church for the freedoms that we have today!
