Our family will be keeping the domain conference in our earnest prayers. We hope it will be a source of significant blessing and encouragement for all who attend. I also wanted to mention how helpful I found the article to actively participate in the political sphere and to serve as ambassadors for Jesus, affirming His sovereignty in all things. Blessings to you, Michael!
Even in the Babylonian exile, they were told to seek the good of the land:
"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.’" (Jeremiah 29:7)
I do see most Christians going to one extreme or another. Some refuse to be involved at all. They won't even vote every 4 years. Because of this, things get worse and worse. On the other hand, I know Christians that try to fix everything through politics and spend way more time on politics than they do on studying God's word and sharing the Gospel. I don't think that is right either. (FYI, my husband was in the state legislature for 6 years and we've participated in county, state, and national conventions). We've pulled back somewhat and focused more on changing hearts and minds of individuals instead of putting most of our time into politics. (My husband is now an elder and he is preaching this Sunday.)
Each person needs to find their own calling in seeking that balance. We shouldn't ignore and avoid politics, but we have to not get so involved in politics that it becomes an idol.

Thank you!
May the Lord be glorified at your conference . May all hearts be open to God’s voice. Not man’s.
Thank you brother!
