About This Quote
When our passion for the Great Commission, becomes our search for the Great Politician, we know we're lost. These are the terms that Tim LaHaye used to describe what happened to Christians who had become followers of Jesus Christ. They had become so caught up in the political aspects of Christianity that they lost sight of what it meant to be a follower of Christ. They were attempting to make their religion fit into the political world around them instead of making their religion fit into the political world around them.
This is exactly what has happened among people today who are trying to make Christianity fit into politics. God never intended Christianity to be a system of politics, but many believers have taken it that way. They want to use Christianity as a weapon with which they can influence politics and then they want to use politics as the answer.
