What do you believe about preaching on political matters? It seems today, that most evangelicals think there should be almost no mention at all of politics (by a minister in or out of the pulpit) - especially naming a particular politician. Why is this?
Consider this obligatory quote by a respected preacher from the past - Spurgeon:
What about the "Black Brigades" (so-called by the English) of the Revolutionary era? Should they have kept silent? If so, why? And, how do we understand the Prophets of old? Was there a single one who did not "bring religion into politics"?

I long for the day when the precepts of the Christian religion shall be the rule among all classes of men, in all transactions. I often hear it said, ‘Do not bring religion into politics.’ This is precisely where it ought to be brought, and set there in the face of all men as on a candlestick. ~The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, vol. 27 (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1882), 225.
