“As an evangelical myself, I won’t be taking the Washington Post’s recommendation that it is time for evangelicals to ‘panic.’ The Lord is on his throne, and he will accomplish his purposes with or without a healthy, coherent American evangelical community. But pastors and lay evangelicals would do well to reflect on the roots of today’s evangelical crisis, and consider how they can influence their congregations toward a better way and witness with regard to politics.” - Desiring God
