''In politics as in morality, it is a great evil to fail to do good, and every useless citizen may be considered a pernicious man.''

This maxim, though not intended to be used in a Christian way, sums up a great deal about what it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God.  We are to do good, to be political, to let ourselves be open to be used by our Amazing God in mysterious and exciting ways.  Idleness and laziness have no place in the politics of Christ's kingdom.  The harvest is ready, and we are called to be workers.
