Church and politics

The Founders Ministries Blog has been responding to this past weekend's Justice Sunday II rally at a prominent SBC church in Tennessee. Tom Ascol shares his thoughts about the church and politics. Very good stuff. Here's a quote...

It is right and proper for Christians to be involved in every level of politics as individual citizens. But when they call for a Christian congregation to become institutionally involved in political activism they are guilty of distracting that church from its God-given mission. It is precisely because of this that the religious right's proposals are disastrous for evangelical churches

Whole thing here.

(There's another great quote from Martyn Lloyd Jones in there as well.)
