On my way home from work this evening, I caught a program on a Christian radio station that had James Dobson apparently at some kind of rally in Alabama in reference to the removal of the 10 Commandments. It sounded more like a politcal rally, and while he made several good and valid points, rallying the crowd to 'get involved' by correspondending with their Congressmen/women, I can't help but feel just a bit uneasy about the politics of Christianity. <br><br>I know that the Great Commission commands us to go out into the world and make diciples of all nations, but does that mean that an entire nation should positively react to the call? I'm confused on the call to Christians and I'm wondering if a strong political stand is the way to go, if Christians should wield a militant stand on these things in a secular world, or if it better to take a quiet and gentle stand, stay where we are called, stand firm for what we believe and keep to a minimum the influence of the pagan culture, or if there is a 'middle' that I am missing. Paul, I know appealed to Rome, and used his citizenship to his advantage, but how do I apply this to today's problem? What can I read that would give me a sense of what our Christian forefathers did under similar circumstances?<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Hannahsmom
