It’s a pretty bold statement from a guy that probably needed a golf cart to get him into the stadium

The church is not equipped for a political fight, and it was never meant to be. Its purpose is to share the gospel, and the gospel does divide — but it does not divide along party lines. It divides the world from the people of God. Christ did not come to sort Republicans from Democrats. He came to call a people out of the world and into His kingdom. A sinner in a red state and a sinner in a blue state stand on the same side of that line until grace moves them across it.
When the church aligns itself with a political party, it draws the wrong line. We are a 50/50 nation, and a church that marries itself to one party has told half the country that the door is closed before the gospel is ever preached. The offense of the cross is supposed to be the cross itself, which is not supposed to become a partisan yard sign. The church that trades the division Christ makes for the division Washington makes has abandoned the one fight it is equipped to win for one it is guaranteed to lose.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are named after a Revolutionary War general the British couldn’t catch.
In 1780, the British captured Charleston and seemed to have South Carolina beaten. Thomas Sumter, a retired militia officer, was out of the war until the British burned his plantation.
Sumter raised his own band of backcountry fighters and went to war. He was a master at guerrilla warfare. He raided, ambushed, struck British outposts. Then vanished, again and again.
According to tradition, the British gave him his nickname, saying he fought like a gamecock, the fighting rooster that never quits.
At Blackstock’s Farm in November 1780, he fended off Banastre Tarleton himself.
The name stuck. Around 1900, a Columbia newspaper started calling the University of South Carolina’s football team the Gamecocks after him and it became official.
The university carries on his legacy every Saturday on the football field.
“Yeah, here come the rooster.
You know he ain’t gonna die.”

I have to talk to my kids about not calling other people names. I shouldn’t have to talk to my politicians about it.
