As Christians we must bear in mind that politics has a place in our lives but we should not let it dominate our actions, relationships, or priorities. Political affiliation is not our identity. We are to be Christians first in thought, word, and deed. We should take political engagement seriously for the sake of the kingdom, to seek justice, to defend the defenseless, and to love our neighbors all stemming from our identity in Christ.
