## Resource

Political groups ought to be involved in politics. A sense of community is great, but community-ism is often a trojan horse to surrender liberty. Rioting is a tactic of the Left not the Right. Why did Jesus name His people after a political group, Ecclesia? Acts 19 shows the true meaning of the biblical word "church".
