I agree in the sense that we have been given the responsibility to occupy “till He comes” as citizens of the countries where we have been placed. We have an interest in and responsibility to our countries and neighbors to promote the gospel. If it is in our power and within our rights, as is often the case where this subject arises, we are in the right to initiate, support, and further any advance of the gospel.
I, like you I should hope, am not referring to a state church.
If God has authority over every area of our lives, politics is not excluded. I will not stand by idly and watch the world fast track themselves toward eternal destruction. I will be as much breaking power as I know how to be in the country where I have a say.
In countries where there is no freedom to speak, I would focus more on the gospel and less on politics. I will not throw away what ability I currently have. I will not give up ground where there is no conflict.
