"Politics draws lines between people; in contrast, Jesus'……" — Philip Yancey
"Politics draws lines between people; in contrast, Jesus' love cuts across those lines and dispenses grace. That does not mean, of course, that Christians should not involve themselves in politics. It simply means that as we do so we must not let the rules of power displace the command to love."
