There are a lot of different viewpoints about the mix of politics and Christianity. You can argue whether or not God votes Republican; that argument is less than constructive.
Reading an amazing book, and came across an argument Bonhoeffer makes on whether or not Christians should be involved in politics at all. Bonhoeffer makes the argument that "it is not only my task to look after the victims of madmen who drive a motorcar in a crowded street, but to do all in my power to stop their driving at all."
It is not enough to counsel women on the value of life; it is a moral obligation to end infanticide. It is not enough to serve the poor; it is a moral obligation to end corporate greed and class warfare. It is not enough to run marriage seminars; it is a moral obligation to protect the sanctity of marriage.
Apathy is the devil's temptation. Separation of church and state is the devil's legal counsel. As Burke has stated, "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
