1 - Christians should be involved in politics -as led by God. This is a place of influence and even if you're not the politician, have his/her ear.
2- If you're going to endorse someone, make sure you know the past present and have prophetic view into the future. Meaning = The media, opponents and more dig up the past and you have to consider if you want this to be connected to your ministry. Are the current actions that which will bring shame or honor. Do you know if this person will continue to walk with God or is this ship about to fall faster than the twin towers - how many will be destroyed in the process. You better know what the Spirit of the Lord is saying about the individual or your endorsing this individual.
3- endorsing from the pulpit - NEVER. There is a time and place for everything. The pulpit is for the glory of God - the preached word/gospel - the sacrifice(s). Have a church meeting and stand on the floor preacher.
4- away with this bringing politicians into your church and having them on the pulpit. Has the body lost their mind? What kind of foolishness have many entered into for a few moments of 'fame' on tv.
Should we endorse: yes - if led by Holy Spirit only. If you don't hear God, shut your mouth.
