Well it depends on the topic. That's where politics and religion are both pretty vast and so why they intersect much. So for a very easy example like abortion, the correct thing to do then to bring the nation more in line with God would be to ban abortion, that's a pretty clear cut issue. A more nuanced issue would be like you mention with globalism, one could argue that globalism should be totally shunned on the basis of it brings the false and alien religions and promotes tolerating them, among other bad habits and customs, and even to a degree globalism as in just unfettered "immigration" is actually one of the most ultimate curses in the Bible which of course is a very famous mess up that ancient Israel and Judah committed that ultimately got them destroyed. On the other hand one could argue for a measured view of globalism in that trade and diplomacy are acceptable, and even immigration in the sense that the aliens give up their alien religions and become Christians and integrate into the nation is just fine as even David and the early part of Solomon's reign were marked by this and there was no real issue against this.

Americans reading this and supporting Mr Trump ... ?

Please turn around. You are on the dark side. Trump is not a christian. He wants to be a dictator, just see his latest attack on the Supreme Court. He doesn't respect the rules of a real democracy. He is in his mind a dictator and he wants to have the full control.

Stop supporting Trump. Stop supporting anti-democratic forces. Join the good side.

May the force be with you.

i vote primarily based off one policy and that is to end the killing of babies. Seems only one side supports ending it. And you do realize Trump only has three more years and he is out right? We have a constitution that says so.

I had never viewed leaven in connection with being slowly boiled, but I do now, so thanks for that Scripture!
(1Cor. 5:6, Gal. 5:9)

If you make bread using leaven/ yeast, it will soon leaven the lump of dough—-metaphor.

It was taken from His kingdom parable (it can be taken multiple ways), 1 meaning: if you allow the bad to mix into the church (people/members) then that bad portion can poison the church.

Yes, and if politically apathetic people allow Marxists and Islamists to steal the blessings of political freedom and prosperity God gave them--a pox on their heads!
