The Election isn't the issue. It's a symptom.
1. The Election Isn’t the Issue. It’s a Symptom.
One theme that emerged from every interview is that the election isn’t the issue. It’s a symptom of much deeper issues.
America’s evolution into an increasingly post-Christian society has caught Christians off-guard.
The theological left has responded by mimicking and embracing left-leaning ideas into their theology, which, for the most part, has set off a massive decline in church attendance in those circles.
While many people might believe that the election will determine the country's future and feel like everything is at stake, the reason they feel that way has less to do with the election and more to do with other factors.
On the (far) right, the response to the change in culture has been to reject almost all of the change in culture and launch a defensive counter-attack.
That has led to Christians becoming bitter, angry, and, quite honestly, behaving in a very un-Christlike manner.
This isn’t new. Angry Christians have been around for a long time. But the anger has intensified.
So... what’s going on? And what do you do about it?
TL;DR... The best alternative to choosing a side is choosing the Gospel. A united church is the best hope for a divided nation. You can provide that hope.
Cheering for you,

P.S. Someone has to lead the way to reconciliation. If it’s not going to be the church, then who? If it’s not going to be Christians, then who?
