Please make this a matter of prayer. There is absolutely no good reason to keep religion, or people of faith, from the American public square. … If faith and reason inform each other, as believers know they do, then one cannot force faith to withdraw without ensuring that the results will be significantly less than fully reasonable.
Great things happen when big ideas collide with the ability to do something about them. Though atheists plan to sue an Alabama City after police partnered with pastors to fight crime with Christianity, unwavering integration of faith and politics is exactly what our nation needs.
Our faith compels us to advocate solutions that are, at their core, redemptive. And I believe this is one of those times. We may debate what Jesus would do, or not do, in such a time as this. But surely we cannot imagine him telling us not to be involved in standing against forms of violence that leave children dead in the streets.
