Following Christ is all-inclusive. It is not simply a side-line, something you do separate from all the other stuff in your life. Either He is Lord of all, or not Lord at all.
I'm getting some feedback indicating that some of my readers cling too tightly to what is proposed by various sources as the way to handle our political difficulties. Are you a fan of James Corbett of Corbett Report? He is nobody's fool, digging down into some of the serious problems we have with oppressive government.
He offers a lot of rather restrained solutions to government oppression. Except, he ignores things he doesn't want to talk about. Further, every solution he promotes requires that you set aside parts of the faith we teach. If you embrace any of his suggestions, you must renounce something on the Radix Fidem path. It requires making common cause with people who will eventually turn out to be our enemies on some critical issue.
I'm not suggesting you shouldn't visit his site. He does conduct some good research, but his basic assumptions are different from ours. He's not a serious threat, but he keeps pointing to things that would take us away from the Covenant. This is the problem we encounter throughout the Net. Lots of commentary we can generally agree with when it comes to identifying human political evil, but most of the solutions drag you outside the Covenant.
Pay attention to the unspoken assumptions behind a lot of what's offered out there.
