Jonathan McIntosh has a great post at rethinkmission.org about the danger of making a political ideology our Savior over Jesus. He addresses political conservatism, but his post could just as well been entitled, "Why Political Liberalism is Dangerous to the Gospel." My position has always been gospel + politics = politics. I know many, many people vote based on a specific issue, looking to a political party to correct some moral failure that they perceive. For example, some vote for conservatives who say that they are prolife, but what have conservatives done in the past thirty years on that issue to be considered anything close to credible on that ultimate, in my opinion, moral failure in our world today? Check out Jonathan's post, it's worth your time.
