Jared Wilson is getting a lot of love on this here blog lately but rightly so since his posts have been so great in the last few days. Read his post from today called "The Message of the Gospel is Not "Behave!""
It's a good read for all those who watch FoxNews every night and are tempted to think the Kingdom of God will be ushered in through political conservatism.
Should we forget politics all together? Surely not, but it needs to be kept in it's proper place of emphasis which may be much farther down the ladder of priorities than we think.
All that to say, it's not an either/or question but a matter of emaphis, priority, and where hope lies.

Amen. This posting states very clearly what has been wrong with the Americanized version of the Gospel that is being proclaimed on Christian radio and by many Christians these days. Sharing the Gospel is more than expressing a politcal view or a hope that the morality of the people of this country will improve. We need to boldly tell others about Jesus Christ crucified. Around my parts the message of the church is at best motivational or inspirational but rarely focused on Christ crucified or our need for a savior.
