Those two words together seem like an oxymoron. Today politics is as cut throat as its ever been. What's more, Christians, particularly evangelical Christians, have become much more engaged in politics. The rhetoric used by all can get pretty ugly. However, Christians ought not respond in the same manner as the rest of the world. Our engagement with government and culture should be filled with compassion, mercy, and love. We shouldn't be sarcastic or uppity or self-righteous.
John Piper preached a four part series (Subjection To God and Subjection To The State) on Romans 13:1-7, it was good. He also wrote an article that discusses more on the Christian response to cultural engagement. His article is what got me thinking about this topic.
