"Do pastors belong in politics? Absolutely—if God leads them to be. I'm thankful for these 200 pastors who are getting involved in making a difference in their communities, their states, and the nation—and they're encouraging their congregations to do the same, before it's too late. As Godspeak Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks's Rob McCoy says "You can change the city council. You can change the school board. You can make a difference right where you are. You can affect your schools…" He's right—the time for Christians to be sitting on the sidelines is over! One state representative said, "Do you think that if people on your deacon board or pastoral board were serving on the school board that you would be discussing same-sex bathrooms?" Think about it. The Bible says, "If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3) McCoy answered that question—"Rebuild the foundation!" We need Christians running for office at all levels—local, state, and national. Where could God be leading you to serve?"
I suppose it's a better plan than waiting in the hills, with food & guns, waiting for the USA to implode under the combined weight of it's corrupt leaders and corrupt media.
Then again, maybe do a little bit of both, prep'ing and leading the fight from local offices.
Also, what's implicit in Graham's recommendation is that he considers the "grass roots" governing the only hope for America. Lord knows, those in Washington, DC now, are almost altogether worthless.
