Profitable.—It will be disputed by none that from a Christian point of view it, and it alone, is profitable to do God’s will, to love Him as set forth above, to do those things that God has commanded. But it is a simple fact that God has nowhere told him to enter politics, to overturn governments, to use political means to carry out the heavenly principles. God has set before man his duty in His holy law. He has given him an example in the life of Jesus Christ. He has furnished the power in the Spirit of God. On all political issues good men are divided. Is it probable that they are led by the Spirit of God? Is it profitable for the Christian to depart from the means and power furnished of God, and for the betterment of the world seek help in carnal means?
