“I started to wonder whether religion itself—or at least the kind of Christianity that showed up in the slogans all around me—might really be about something else: southern culture or politics. If so, I thought, that would mean that Jesus is not the Way, the Truth, and the Life, but a means to an end. And that would mean that the gospel is not ‘You must be born again,’ but ‘You must be one of us.’” - Russel Moore

I’m not at the point where Moore found himself, but there are times when I wonder what’s more important to many churches, politics/culture or Christ.

From my vantage point, I see a lot of “freedom-loving Americanism” being promoted over Christ-like humility and service.
