Yes, if we don’t allow it to eclipse our faith & devotions.

“…Jesus seems to have directly avoided politics while highlighting that we should “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” All during Jesus’ ministry, the crowds (and even His own disciples) wanted Him to become a political leader and drive the Romans out of Israel. Jesus had a higher kingdom in mind than any of the earthly ones.

If Jesus seems to have avoided politics, why should we become involved?

Today, in the United States, our laws are not set by religious authorities or a dictatorial system such as that in ancient Rome, but by a civil process working through our federal and state Constitutions, elected executives, elected legislatures, and local elected councils. While Caesar and Roman law were the ultimate authorities during Jesus’ time, in actuality, most day-to-day decisions and disputes among the Jews were managed by the religious authorities, as long as they didn’t conflict with Roman law.

Today our jobs, national security, education, individual freedoms, etc., are determined at least in part by our political choices and the laws politicians make.” — Christianity Today. October 2025
