Dogs THAT CAN'T BARK

A Republican Christian heard my radio spot about socialism and abortion.  He said I had no right as a pastor to be involved in politics.  I asked if he could name one man of God in the Bible that had nothing to do with politics.  He could not name one.  Can you?  Christians in America could be by far the largest voting block.  We could turn this nation in one election toward righteousness in our laws.  The two obstacles to this are gnostic dualism and fear.  
Dualism separates the sacred & the secular.  That is the spirit of anti-christ.  Fear of man is the other problem.  American freedom never would have rung if the preachers of the founding fathers' day had been "girlie men" like so many today.  Satan whispers, "Play it safe, boys.  Keep your offerings rolling!  If not, your heads might roll," like John the Baptist who rebuked a king.  God help us not to be like the shepherds described by Isaiah.  
"They are all silent dogs;  they cannot bark..." (Isa 56:9-11).
