Stumbled upon this article from Tullian Tchividjian this morning. Some good points that we're remember this election season. Political stake is just one way (and not the primary way) to positively change hearts and edify a society. We're to do more than vote our values.
"Virtually every social scientist that I’ve ever talked to agrees that what happens in New York (finance), Hollywood (entertainment), Silicon Valley (technology), and Miami (fashion) has a far greater impact on how our culture thinks about reality than what happens in Washington, DC (politics). It’s important for us to understand that politics are reflective, not directive. That is, the political arena is the place where policies are made which reflect the values of our culture—the habits of heart and mind—that are being shaped by these other, more strategic arenas."
