It's hard for me to believe that many of our Christian churches have been seduced by a political party. But what I hear from some people suggests that it actually happened.

Can we now say it has been made a den of Republican political activity?

Would Christ drive the seducers out? If this facility has lost its mission to be a house of prayer, should we continue to call it a Christian church?
