Christ and His Kingdom, Not Politics, Should Be the Central Fixture of Our Focus

Never have God’s people needed the reminder more that the key to influence and change in this world is not, and never has been, politics. It is faithfulness to Jesus.

But you're missing the point. A Christian's civic duty is all about the love of his neighbor. This virtue-signaling notion that it's either politics or the Kingdom is faithless nonsense which 1) is a lazy and fearful response to the perversion of justice, and 2) has the effect of passifying resistance to tyranny and other public threats and evils.

There is no Christian didache. There is a Jewish and Roman Catholic Didache. The Jewish Didache is a manual written by the twelve Jewish Apostles to the Gentiles. You should read it.
