But as long as we are talking Spurgeon, I can't argue with him here.
“Every God-fearing man,” he wrote, “should give his vote with as much devotion as he prays.” On the other hand, Spurgeon felt politics should not invade religion. “Ministers do well to give their votes and to express their opinions for the guidance of the people,” he wrote, “but in proportion as the preaching becomes political and the pastor sinks the spiritual in the temporal, strength is lost and not gained.” - Charle Spurgeon
Basically, my point is that the church in America has long since passed the point of the spiritual lost to temporal, and strength replace by weakness. Heeding Mr. Spurgeon's warning would have done us well.
