As most theologians note, but not most people are aware of , the culture is no longer carrying water for Christian values and beliefs. It has reached a tipping point where even our political leaders don’t have sufficient moral heft and regard. This is a snowball that has been rolling downhill for 50 years at us. We have to re-evangelize the culture, politics will not save us. However, keep voting for good Republican candidates, but it is not the solution anymore. All is decaying, and in decay, like the Roman Empire. This has been the talk of philosophers/theologians for a few decades or more now, and more of the regular folks have been recently catching on.

Sorry, but you, and this so-called leader are wrong.

It never was the solution and this isn't about strategy.

It is about not compartmentalizing your life and leaving the political arena to the Godless Left.

If we are to be Christians, we are to be Christians with the same vigor in all aspects of our life, you do not, as a Christian, walk away from the fight, whether in the Spiritual or Secular aspects of your life.

It seems that the church stayed out of politics until the 80s. During that time when more people were regular church members, we got the Great Society and legalized abortion and no fault divorce. The church should have engaged much sooner in a real way. Hands off approach didn’t do much to keep the Hippy generation faithful. This approach isn’t new but it may be more comfortable for this generation of leaders who don’t like conflict. But I did hear Irwin Lutzer speaking kind of the same idea.

We have to be good stewards in every area. Our form of government is a blessing that we cannot take for granted, as long as we have it.

Post something here, someone will always misinterpret, correct wrongly, or comment on the half they read.

thanks for being predictable and the personal lecture...and I suppose you missed something...like,Paragraph 2:

>However, keep voting for good Republican candidates, but it >is not the solution anymore.

There are not enough people of moral character in America to vote in enough moral leaders. You may not recognize this now, and I dont blame you, but it is what others who have been predicting all this for decades have been writing, theologians/philosophers on the thinking of this age...and I do read considerably many things not on the internet.

Good luck in your scolding career.
