Very POWERFUL answer!!!!!! People need to be WISE. Let us be absorbed with the kingom of HEAVEN. Thank you Elder❤❤❤
I am thankful you spoke the truth. The church needs more men like you, Sir.
Such a timely message from a true man of God 💞🙏
This man should live longer to proclaim such truths
This was beautiful and on point. Constantly we are being side track in the church mehn; constantly being side track.
This is an incredible answer. What an absolutely great answer.
thank you pastor skeete. i don't like politics coz it has caused a divide in my family and friends. i am of the belief that christianity and politics are mutually exclusive events. you can never be a true christian and a politician at the same time.
I do agree with you i think so too cant server too master's at the same time
This is fantastic 🤩
I have found a new perception from now henceforth
Randy this is very true the church and individuals actions who are members ought to be separated The church has a mission unique mission Amen
Yes pastor. The truth may cause offence but it has to be told.
So so so true
Amen
Amen pastor
God bless you.
Thanks pastor

I watched this video, not because I needed an answer to the question but because I wanted to see what advice Brother Skeete might be offering on this subject. On the whole, I think he is offering good advice.
There might be some people, however, who could benefit from some additional advice. I haven’t been elected to a lay office since about 2008 so please understand that the following is not to be taken as “official policy” in any sense of the word.
There are more reasons than one for clergy of any denomination to avoid taking sides in any other political matters than the question of whether it is appropriate for clergy to take sides in political matters. Which is to say that it IS appropriate for clergy to oppose - publicly or privately - any efforts to legislate morality.
It is appropriate for clergy to vote but only if they can do so AND be so dedicated to peace-making in the political arena that no more than two or three of their closest relatives or friends can even guess how they marked their ballots.
In the United States, there was a time when there were more of the members of one of the major political parties than the other in favor of transforming the United States into a theocracy.
Religion is the sum of those beliefs, practices and prohibitions that pertain to a person’s concept of the highest powers of the universe.
In the twenty-first century, a relatively new religion is on the ascendency. The beliefs, practices and prohibitions of this new religion are based on the premise that neither the God of the Bible nor any other supernatural god exists and that, therefore, humans should ignore anything purported to be special revelation and that we should, instead, make our decisions - both as individuals and as societies - without regard to special revelation. The high priests of this new religion want for themselves what SOME of the clergy of theistic religions want, i.e. to be intimately involved in politics for the purpose of either deciding what things are required and what things are prohibited by civil governments or for the purpose of influencing legislators, executives and judges to those same ends.
To paraphrase Margaret Evans (Lowcountry Weekly, March 7, 2016), Political correctness started out with good intentions, and - I believe - still has good intentions at heart. The bad thing about PC was never its intentions - to treat people with kindness and dignity - but the fact that it was so rigidly enforced. By an elitist group of self-appointed arbiters. Selectively, according to their standards. Through shame and humiliation. First they’ll double down, then they’ll shout you down. And...they might even knock you down.
Whether this new religion will ever be enforced as strictly as the New England Puritans enforced their religion in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the adherents of this new religion are as dedicated to imposing it on the rest of us as the theistic proponents of theocracy ever were. Christians of every denomination should be diligent to avoid being perceived as favoring either kind.
One way to avoid being perceived as wishing to impose our personal preferences on everyone else is to avoid identifying with any political party unless, maybe, it is one dedicated to political moderation. (If anyone knows of such a party, please let me know!)
To the extent that we are dedicated to not wishing (and not being perceived as wishing) to impose our personal preferences on everyone else, we can work as peacemakers in the political arena by offering alternatives to the popular ideological extremes that seem to be more and more popular nowadays. Two examples: 1: We can work for peace in the Middle East by urging politicians in the United States to avoid taking sides in that conflict. 2: We can offer alternatives to “trickle down economics” on the one hand and “tax and spend policies” on the other hand.
Instead of urging politicians to vote for or against a given bill or “resolution”, we can ask them “What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of______________? If they can’t see both the advantages and disadvantages of various proposals, they probably don’t deserve our votes.
P.S. Maybe this isn’t quite as important for Christians who decide to avoid political involvement altogether but, to the extent that we are involved in such questions, it is very important that both our theology and our political philosophy be perceived as personal - not institutional.
When I was a boy, my parents sometimes spoke of “the conference” or “the General Conference. I knew they believed there were true Christians in most or all denominations. For that reason, when they spoke about “the church”, I assumed they were referring to all Christians, regardless of denominational affiliation.
It wasn’t until decades later that I discovered evidence that the first several SdA organizations didn’t include the word, “Church”, in their official names: for example “The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, “The Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists” and “The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists”.
I think that was because the nineteenth-century pioneers of the advent movement realized that most people associated the word “Church” with creedalism, hierarchy and dogmatism. Most of them were opposed to such things. (See the SdA Source Book article about theChristian Connexion by Joshua V. Himes.)
For those who might be inclined to think Ellen Harmon White was a Republican, please note when or whether she used the word “republican” with a capital “R” and then look up definitions of the words “republican” (lowercase) and “republic”.
The church as a body should not support any side but should encourage individuals to vote,why? Because politics is about making decisions,and decision made by leaders in power affects us.If we don't participate in electing them,we leave other people to elect leaders who makes decisions that affects us.Will other people represent our interest?
100%
If we are to completely disengage then we're not doing anything to defend against lawless and ungodly rulers.
My kindum is not of this world do you understand that?
Wow thats the truth
Am I seeing Hebrew parallelism in Dan. 8:17- 19 as Daniel is awakened and the angel repeats using a different event of the same time. I was led to Revelation 11:18. Are these text compatable
We are citizens of God’s kingdom. If I travelled to Italy while an election was happening, I could not vote as I am not a citizen of Italy. Going to church on Sabbath is like entering into the embassy of God’s kingdom I think
No
It is so sad to see bringing politics inside Church has Havoc among the nominations candidates in election.
The Lord would have His people bury political questions. On these themes silence is eloquence. Christ calls upon His followers to come into unity on the pure gospel principles which are plainly revealed in the word of God. We cannot with safety vote for political parties; for we do not know whom we are voting for. We cannot with safety take part in any political schemes. We cannot labor to please men who will use their influence to repress religious liberty, and to set in operation oppressive measures to lead or compel their fellow men to keep Sunday as the Sabbath. The first day of the week is not a day to be reverenced. It is a spurious sabbath, and the members of the Lord’s family cannot participate with the men who exalt this day, and violate the law of God by trampling upon His Sabbath. The people of God are not to vote to place such men in office; for when they do this, they are partakers with them of the sins which they commit while in office. FE 475.2
NO!!! NOT AT ALL! 🙏
I believe Christian shouldn't vote for those unbelievers because God is incharge of his world ,he put who ever he wants ..l depend on him to take care of things..
I never liked politics.
This was beautiful and on point. Constantly we are being side track in the church mehn; constantly being side track.
Amen
