Did Jesus or the apostles involve themselves with Caesar and his system or did they have a higher calling- to win souls for our Lord Jesus Christ??

The Lord will take care of the powers that be and we are to be subject unto them according to Rom 13. There is no verse in the new testament that encourages the believer to get involved with the cares of this world and the corrupt government. However, there are many verses that call us to preach the gospel of the cross and to win souls for Christ. That is the believers calling.

If that decision (say abortion) goes against Scripture, are we to speak out against it? How about homosexuality and the government limiting a churches ability to speak about the sin of this act? Are we allowed to speak out against that or would that just be a complaint?
Matthew 28:18-20 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
