Political activism can also tempt us to blur the lines regarding our mission field. Those in an opposing political party become “enemies” rather than lost souls who need Christ preached to them with love and compassion. Those who share our political convictions are embraced as “brothers and sisters” even though they may also be lost souls who need Christ. Ungodly partnerships can develop when true Christians join hands with cult groups and other unbelievers based on shared political ideologies. And unbiblical perspectives can be adopted, based on maintaining the party line, even when those views don't square with scripture.

In a heavy 2 to 3 quart saucepan, combine the tomatoes, 4 tablespoons of
butter, the salt and a few grindings of pepper. Stirring and mashing the
tomatoes with a spoon, cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes until the
mixture is thick and fairly smooth.  Add the stock and the tomato paste,
bring to a boil and cook briskly for 5 minutes. Puree the mixture through a
fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing down hard on the tomatoes with the
back of a spoon before discarding the seeds and coarse pulp.
Measure the puree and return it to the saucepan. There should be 2 cups.
If there is more, boil it briskly over high heat until reduced to the
required amount; if there is less, add more stock. Bring to a boil over
high heat, then pour in the rice.  Stir once or twice, reduce the heat to
low, cover tightly and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the liquid
has been absorbed and the rice is tender but still slightly resistant to
the bite.
Add the 4 tablespoons of melted butter and toss the rice with a fork
until the grains glisten.  Drape a towel over the rice and let it stand at
room temperature for 20 minutes or so before serving.
