For too long, we have looked to fiery political sermons to satisfy our concerns over the “culture.” We listen and then walk out the door thinking, The secularist culture got it good! and we are satisfied. Meanwhile, the culture continues going to hell. This exaggerates things a bit, but still Christians have treated Sunday as their weekly political meeting. It should be no such thing, and practically speaking, turning it into a political church hinders Christian political movements. We must form civil associations outside the ecclesiastical sphere, and without pastoral leadership.
