How much can we be engaged in politics as Christians?
- It is difficult to draw a line on whether politics is right or wrong.
However, we have discussed and come to a consensus that applying politics without ill intent or malice may be acceptable to a certain extent.

Case Study: You are a project leader/member of a large-scale project and one of the other members are not up to the job/incompetent/lack of work ethic. What should you do?
-Situational management/leadership comes into play.
-Pray for the person, for a change of heart.
-Pray for maturity to understand the situation, both for yourself and for the group.
-If no one has spoken to the person, it would be a good thing to do so, however, restraint must be used, neutral but sincere words and tone. Calmly explaining the situation
-Above all, peace and mercy should be maintained.
-Telling the truth in love is crucial here.
----------------------------------------------------------
Case Study: One of your colleagues is notoriously renown for a poor work attitude. However, you maintain a relatively good relationship with him/her. One day, the said person approaches you and asks if you would like to group up for a project. Despite having been on good terms with him/her, you turn him down as you do not feel comfortable working with him/her. Is this considered hypocritical?
-As long as you do not mean the person any harm, and accept him for the way he is, saying nothing about his flaws is not regarded as hypocritical.

As you may have noticed, there is very little actual biblical backing on our discussion. I hope that more light can be shed on this topic soon enough.
Do MSN me your input/opinions on the topic should you have any.
God bless,
Dennis
