As the sexual revolution starting in the 60s swept across the nation, evangelicals divorced at almost the same rate as the rest of America. Rather than living like Jesus, we conformed to surrounding sinful culture. And today American evangelical youth and vast numbers of global evangelicals are dumbfounded as prominent American evangelical leaders and vast numbers of their followers fail to oppose or even justify racism, attacks on immigrants, abuse of women, blatant dishonesty, and idolatrous nationalism. American youth who grew up in evangelical churches are abandoning evangelicalism and sometimes even Christian faith in droves. For someone like myself who has devoted all his life to trying to help evangelicals follow Jesus more faithfully, it is a time to weep.
I agree with everything you've said here, brother. But, feel strongly that you need to be much more concise if you want to reach those who need to hear this.
Thank you. I find it difficult to identify as a evangelical Christian these days. It puts a label of "Right Wing" on me that I strongly disagree with. If we don't walk with all our brothers and sisters, we are not following the path of our Lord
Hi, Ron. I have followed you for years, reading your books, articles, blogs, etc. and respect you very much. Over the last several years I have been concerned about the position that Christians for Social Action (the organization that you founded) has taken concerning homosexuality. As read what they say about their "Oriented to Love" program it seems heretical to me. They never say that homosexuality is wrong, just encouraging us to love LGBT, etc. people. I do try to love them, just as I try to love anyone that is justifying sinful practices (i.e. lying, cheating, stealing, wife beating, racism, etc.). But we aren't loving people when we condone their sinful lifestyles. In this blog you condemn evangelicalism's heretical gospel. Why don't you speak out against Christians for Social Action's heretical stance of not declaring that homosexuality is a sin....Sincerely, Mike Kadera
