So, I've been asked to write a paper (or handout of sorts) and i could use some help from my frens, as it affects all of us.

Long story short, some people very close to me are getting involved in state politics and have some very strong allies backing them (current governor, former governor, etc.

However, they are very discouraged at the tradition of christians not getting involved in politics, and for their state they see a critical voter group being Christians.

This isnt a bash-fest request on Christian politics. Many churches and denominations had good reason at the time to insulate the congregation and themselves from politics. Others saw it simply as the tax break.

Most never saw it as isolating Christians from politics (our church supports political participation, said so just this Sunday). However, due to the creeping evil, it has Become for many, an excuse just to not get involved, and to propagate the don't talk about religion or politics crap that permeates society today.

I'm wondering if anyone has constructive, productive arguments to getting more christians involved in politics. I'm not looking for arguments to get pastorsat the pulpit going on about the deep state.. Just getting them out involved in their community, and voting (baby steps).

So many just don't want to even vote because of the corruption. Scriptural references are a bonus.

What i have now:

Micah 6:8

Mark 12:17

2 Samuel 23:3-4

Romans 13:1-7

Proverbs 28:28, 29:2

I believe christians have a responsibility in this war, and it's not to just ignore it and have faith in God. We are called to actively participate in the world that he created for us.
