Politics, Religion. Two things our society would like to be kept very separate. Some Christians agree, eager to be as removed from politics as possible. Other Christians seem to find more identity in their political engagement than in Christ. When we read the Bible, we find that God does not give us the option of following Jesus second to anything, let alone a social agenda. But he also doesbnt' give us the option of disengaging from politics; he has much to say about power, Government and justice.
