"Why should we
be involved in partisan politics? Why should Christians take political
stances when we don't know what side God is on? Well, that's easy. Social
Justice is not a political issue. It's a moral one. Whether we provide
aid to Africa, become involved in AIDS help and activism, whether we help
the poor, or educate ourselves on these issue does not take a political
stance, it takes a moral one. We are commanded by God to stand up for
those who cannot. We are commanded to speak for those who have no voice,
to worship God by serving others. James speaks many times about the action
of our faith is through service. James 1:27 "Religion that God our
Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and
widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the
world."
It's not politics, it's not partisan, its not
republican, it's not democrat, not liberal, or conservative. It's Christian,
it's a command, and it is what The Revolution is all about.
