My Silence Is Not Compliance: Why I Don’t Preach Politics from the Pulpit

I don’t speak on political issues in my church. I don’t support candidates. I don’t address legislation. I never take a side on controversial news items when I'm behind the pulpit. And I’m tired of being called a coward because of it. On behalf of myself and many Christians like me, I’d like to make a request. Stop accusing fellow Christians of doing nothing, just because we’re not called to do what you’re called to do. We may not preach on political issues, but that doesn't mean we're sticking our heads in the sand. There are other options.
