Priorities
The author of Tantaliing if True is "too busy following Jesus to spend time being politically conservative":
Feel free to have an opinion, even a strong opinion, about immigration and illegal aliens. But don’t call your opinion Christian if it’s not in the Bible. Leviticus, in fact, talks quite a bit about aliens. You could look there.Sounds right to me. Also, I hope Tantalizing if True is too busy following Jesus to be politically liberal too.
Don’t call your opinion about war Christian if it’s not in the Bible. Yes, many people in the past have called their war Christian, most famously the Crusaders. The Crusaders don’t count. They weren’t prophets or apostles. They weren’t inspired.

Thanks for your response to my blog. No, I don't believe any type of political activity is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Why should be trust in man's strength when God is our strength? That said, I remember that Paul did take advantage of his citizenship to advance the gospel ("Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?" (Acts 22:25)) but he didn't do it to maintain his own personal comfort, as we sometimes do.
You're welcome. And thanks for your fine post. I agree: we ought to take advantage of our citizenship but not rely on it. Peace.
