I see you are with "Calvary Chapel". I got the impression that ones in this group might be concentrating on effecting American politics. But I do get how certain aggressive members of a certain group can be in everyone's face so it can seem like they represent the whole group.
But > in case a Bible claiming person is concentrating on trying to change a country or the world in political ways, this could distract him or her from the basics of God's word and Christianity.
And, likewise, yes you could be letting your particular interests distract you from certain basics.
But I say this in case it can apply to you and help you.
In case I am mistaken, still here is what I get for you >
You are an older Christian, possibly, in which case you could be more mature than a number of others. And they need you as a very important resource then, an example of how ones can become in Jesus and find out how to relate in love.
So, they need to spend time with you, in person, not merely isolate themselves in groups of their own feather while you swap feathers with others who are like to you!
There can be groups who welcome any and all people . . . so we can benefit from everyone of any age and level of maturity in Jesus. I mean an "on-purpose" group, perhaps, where we make a point of sharing as family with others not like us.
This can mean even making a point of having people of different first languages and background cultures, who have grown in Jesus and made the same discoveries of God and His word as others of other backgrounds.
But . . . another thing . . . in the United States we have people who are claiming to be Jesus people; yet, they insist on changing politics so English is declared the official one language of "America".
But a basic of Jesus is we love any and all others as ourselves; if I love you, I might make an effort to learn your language.
I offer how our Apostle Paul made himself like to all people so he could save some > 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 >
"For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you." (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
Our Apostle Paul had been a Pharisee. As we can see, Paul did not try to get into a small group with others of his Pharisee background.
I see that he would do things to make himself like to people of various cultures . . . to whomever he was reaching to at any time.
But there are younger church culture people who do not make a point of sharing with mature senior Christians. Plus, there are seniors with the attitude that no one younger can help them to grow even more in Jesus. Yet, in God's love and family, we all can minister His own grace, and this grace is good for all of us > 1 Peter 4:9-10.
But we will discover trouble people; so we need to be ready to be their best friend, by being the example they need to help them find out how to love.
"And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved." (2 Corinthians 12:15)
