From Perry Noble's Blog – Frustrated With Politics & Christians

I’ve been pretty busy getting back up to speed as class has started, not to mention Halloween, school dances, and the inevitable rush that is the upcoming holiday season, so I’ve been slacking on writing lately.  Have no fear, though, I’m working on an expose` of sorts on an American Theocracy, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that’ll be posted here and at American Creation once I’m done. I’m hoping to finish it in the next couple of days…. I think it may surprise you to know this part of our history.

But I digress. A few weeks ago, we were blessed with having the pastor of New Spring Church in Anderson, SC deliver the message. He’s got a new post about being frustrated about the silly season. It goes:

I’m talking about the Christians who have prostituted themselves with the political process and taken their eyes off of Jesus as their Savior and put them on either McCain or Obama as their Savior.

It’s STUPID!

Should we have a political opinion as Christians? HECK YES! Should we vote? ABSOLUTELY! I think a Christian who doesn’t vote is completely missing an opportunity that God has blessed us with as citizens of this country.

BUT…we can’t actually think that the salvation process is tied to who happens to be in the White House!

In reading through the Gospels the other day something HIT ME like a ton of bricks…the Jews missed the fact that Jesus was the Messiah because they were looking for someone to deliver them from the politics of Rome.

Let me say it more clearly–they missed Jesus because of politics!!!

It’s a good read, you can find the rest here.
