Multitudes of people were converted to Christ. The result of these awakenings was nothing short of phenomenal. I could even go so far as to say that to many evangelicals, politics (at least their version of it) IS spiritual truth.Ĭontrast the modern evangelical movement with the great spiritual movements in early America.įrom about 1720 to the mid-1800s, Colonial America experienced two Great Awakenings. But both groups believe the president is the one who must do it.Īccording to a recent survey, large numbers of people on both sides of the political aisle say they want a “powerful leader” in the White House, who would “take needed actions without being constrained by Congress or the courts.” In other words, they want a king.Īnd tragically, to the vast majority of evangelicals, political partisanship is far more important than spiritual truth. The only difference between the two groups is the manner in which they believe the president should implement those solutions. In this respect, evangelicals and political conservatives are not unlike religious and political liberals: Both groups look to Washington, D.C.-especially the White House-to solve America’s problems. In the minds of most evangelicals, the antidote for America’s ailments is deposited at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. But don’t expect most evangelicals to comprehend that.
Accordingly, the solution to America’s primary problem is not political but spiritual. I have long maintained that America’s primary problem is not a political one but a pulpit one. ( To subscribe to my columns, click here.)
