I had a pastor tell me a few weeks ago that religion has no place in politics.
I replied, “I realize you may not respect me or agree with me. No problem. Do you respect Charles Spurgeon?”
He responded, “Oh yes. I quote him in my sermons all the time!”
I sent him this Spurgeon quote for his next sermon:
“I often hear it said, ‘Do not bring religion into politics.’ This is precisely where it ought to be brought, and set there in the face of all men as on a candlestick.”

Many well-meaning (but I believe, naive) pastors have an “ick” about engaging in culture war issues.
REMINDER: Pastors are literally the only people in America who can avoid these issues, bc they get to live in a tithe-dollar-created bubble.
Every one of your people faces these issues everyday at work, with their families, in their schools… and many of them risk their jobs over them.
They need clear teaching and consistent encouragement that no, they aren’t crazy.
