Evangelicals power coming to an end
Evangelicals power coming to an end
One tremendous benefit of Donald Trump's presidency is the dissolution of the Evangelical Church as a political force. Apparently some of them aren't blind tools for the Republican Party and have decided to leave these organizations. Praise the Lord

Evangelicals were always awful at broadening their message to make it sustainable...

They've been played by every Republican since GWB. They're pretty slow on the uptake...

Re: Evangelicals power coming to an end
Evangelicals? Like the ELCA, accepting per capita contributions from the government for taking in refugees? They've been completely coopted and corrupted by government money. Same as many other places of worship, like Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, Baptists, Roman Catholics, and Reform Jewish Congregations. Many left out, I'm sure. LCMS seems the least corrupted, for now.

Re: Evangelicals power coming to an end
Just curious, how are those protestant denominations as entrenched as these mega church political machines? I don't see it, be specific...

Re: Evangelicals power coming to an end
I was recently in an LCMS church for a Christmas Concert. I noted nothing that aggressively promoted Social Gospel Themes. I was accosted by a disheveled ~20 YOWF, a block north of the church, a few days later, who appeared to have some kind of an injury, and wanted "a ride". I thought it might be a setup and declined. I called the LCMS Outreach at the church to see if they were familiar with the girl. They said I was right to decline, not that I should have given her a ride because she appeared to be homeless. No guilt trip. They said they would BOLO for her. I'm not insensitive. I felt bad for her, but not bad enough to get robbed, beat up, or murdered.
