Quotes
“Our God is a God of possibilities. We open up more
possibilities when we're willing to take that step of humbly,
hopefully, joyfully stewarding our influence in a healthy way, in a
way that views politics as just one form of loving our
neighbor.”
– Michael Wear
“When it comes to politics, and for Christians, when
it comes to all of life, it’s how do you steward the responsibility
you have to love and honor and bring glory to God and love your
neighbor?”
– Michael Wear
“We don't need to be completely comfortable to
participate in politics. That's why we're to be in the world, but
not of the world.”
– Michael Wear
“If we view politics as one forum in which we can love
our neighbor, then we can let go and just try to be faithful in the
situation that God has placed us.”
– Michael Wear
