It only takes a shift of a few percent to wreak havoc in a society, or conversely to stabilize and return it to relative health.
We lose the political wars because we first lost the spiritual ones. Win the spiritual war and the politics will follow. In fact, win the spiritual and the politics become ever so much less important.
This is a reminder for me as a Christian debating politics. With so much deceit and propaganda, it's a challenge to fight the spiritual battle over the political battle.
