- Should Christians care about politics, or should we avoid getting informed/involved so we can stay focused on more eternal things?

Taking a break from politics is a must. But yes I do believe it's important to care about what is going on with our government.
Tell em! So many believers don’t understand this, and I don’t know why.
100% agree!
You summed it all up in the first 4 minutes. Thank you.
Thank you Allie for speaking on such a bold topic which even Pastors and Evangelists fear to speak about.I come from a Christian minority Country and we need representation and protection and obviously need Christians in Public and Political arena.
amen sister
Dang straight. Preach it, Allie.
Yeah our last pastor said from the pulpit that we shouldn’t be involved in politics. Broke my heart. He is a Jesus loving pastor but shouldn’t have been teaching on politics being that he knew nothing about it.
A lamp lit and hidden under a basket is of no use. We need Christians in Public and Political office.Please tell your Pastor to do a research on Christian minority countries and the afflictions faced by them from the people and government.May be that will change his mind.
@Nikki ....
"...our last pastor said..."
How many pastors have you had?
@@pauljaikaran9790 your are using the proverbs of Christ deceitfully
Sister Nikki, your last pastor was right, we are called to be separated from the world ,we are to be different. The Holy scriptures say " a true warrior of GOD does not entangle themselves with the affairs of this life. What politics do is try to separate Christians from each other,
@@randy-mw5dq Not every Christian is called to preach from the pulpit but all Christians are called to testify Our Lord Jesus in whatever work they do. And so we need Christians in all spheres of work and department who can serve and protect other Christians in need and trouble. I say again I come from a Christian minority country and I seen Pastors stripped and beaten and Churches ransacked right before my eyes with no one to help.Place yourself in my position then you will know my pain.First as a Christian know how to voice your opinion with love and concern.You can't just blatantly blame me as using the word of God deceitfully. If you think you are too zealous for the Lord then come to my place and defend together with us the Gospel where we defend it with sweat, blood and tears.
A really great book on this subject is “God and Government” by Charles Colton. Great topic Allie.
exactly just like we have to disobey authority to not take the mark
Voting is stewardship.
Since we have a democratic Republic it is our Christian duty to take part, given our individual abilities, in our government. How can we be salt and light without taking part in the affairs of our community and out nation?
Hold on. I'll ask God.

HOLD ON!!!!!! I'll ask Jesus.

I'm thinking that doesn't leave alot of time for those worldly things does it??
😖
I liked how you started out so fired up. :) and to add my 2 cents - I heard a preacher talking about a visit he had made to DC to talk with Congresspeople.... and the thing that got me was how most that they spoke with cared nothing about God or if their decisions pleased Him. Thanks for sharing this and trying to get Christians fired up a little about it!
E432 R Doesn’t surprise me. DC is a city of evil. It’s a real life Minas Morgul.

Where is a city that isn't evil?
@@_rob_. Some are worse than others. DC is at or near the top of that heap.

So much for no sin is any greater than another aye?
Robert Thompson The quality of all sin is the same. It’s the quantity I was referring to.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
If you are interested in the early Christians on these things - read Wealth and Poverty by John Chrysostem. Christians have always cared about the world around them.
I would very much wish to have you as my second half. I imagine someone else has been blessed before me in that manner.
Lust is a sin.
There's a good christian. 👍
That was a very respectful compliment.
We should! Having freedom is a gift! Jesus Himself made a political statement when He over turned the tables of the money changers. He was addressing the Pharisee’s and the corruption of their rule.
The parable you used has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with living a holy life before the world, a light in the darkness,people are to see the way we live and know who we are by just that. And as far as Christian's being persecuted remember what our Lord said "we are sheep for the slaughter all the day long" and He also said " if anyone comes to harm you do not resist them for vengeance is mine says the Lord".
Sooo self defense is a sin? Thousands of year of deep theological interpretation and meditation right here. Thanks. No wonder the bible can be interpreted to fit each and everyone of our desires and not the other way around.
The Lord says that our weapons are not Carnel but mighty through God. And again The Lord says if anyone comes to harm you donot resist them for vengeance is mine says The Lord.
@@randy-mw5dq we are not just spirit. Humans are body and spirit. Dualism was already declared a heresy. It's the same heresy that the transgender movement uses to justify their claims. There is more to literal reading of every passage. "The new testament is concealed in the old testament and the old testament is unveiled in the new testament." St. augustine.
Do more sketches.
@1:55 "some christians... particularly young christians... "
How old are you?
27??
Luke 6:42
Oh....
and there's also that whole don't concern yourself with things of the world thingy too.
How's that paycheck working out for you??
Enjoy your earthly rewards.👍
As 1 child DIES every 15 seconds because of hunger.
So much for...
"all your heart, mind, and soul".
No time for that while making TV appearances and posting videos and commentaries online.😖
@28:15....
"maybe we see things differently...".
Well,
God does veil things, reveal things, and the Eyes of the Spirit does interpret things....
so "maybe" we do.
Love God with ALL....your heart, mind, and soul.
That don't leave a lot of time for posting videos, vlogs, and appearing on TV talking about....
..worldly things.
Yep...enjoy your earthly rewards young lady.👍
Robert Thompson And what do you do for a living? I suspect it requires a considerable amount of your time. Perhaps even too much.
@@jamesp8164
I'll answer you that,
if you'll first answer me this...
are you a christian?
Robert Thompson Yes. Your turn.
@@jamesp8164 Retired.
Thanks.
Robert Thompson Retirement requires a great deal of wealth, acquired over a long period of time. So what did you do to make all that money? I bet you put in just as many hours, if not more than the maker of this video.
You are not making a good impression. I have some very good reasons to think your statements about the maker of the video can apply just as equally to you.
I suggest you work on that plank before worrying about anyone else’s splinter.
