What too many here need to hear

I agree with the pastor, but your OP title is crap. It's pretty bold to assume you know each poster's relationship with Christ and how he/she prioritizes Spirituality and politics.

Christians should base their political decisions on the moral compass given to them by Scripture, and they shouldn't put man's writings (Constitution, etc.) on the same level as Scripture. Man is fallible, and the Constitution is not absolute truth; it's a structure of government designed by men, for men, unlike God's Law.

One major problem is politics invading the church. What's happening with the UMC today is a prime example. It's hard to avoid politics in the church when the church is rewriting doctrine to suit the political and cultural mobs.

This is likely why people are discussing politics so frequently in church, because they feel that the world is attacking their beliefs, and they're seeing denominations cave to the pressures of the world. This pastor hopefully understands that, and I would hope that he addresses it somewhere in the full sermon.
