Far too often politicians go to those crossroads for grandstanding, chest-thumping, and acting more like the publican than the pauper.

But do they go there to fall down on their knees, to “ask the Lord for mercy, help me if you please?”

And we, as voters of faith, need to ask of ourselves the exact same question. When we go to the crossroads of faith and politics let’s fall on our knees, ask for mercy and guidance, and trust that God is in the process.
