Stuck In The Past?

Way back in time, back when Reagan was president, Evangelicals got chummy with conservative Republican politicians. They formed the Moral Majority and similar groups. They waved the anti abortion banner and the school choice banner and the pro family banner and they found other areas where they could find common ground Between Evangelicals and conservative Republicans.

Unfortunately, those cold war days are long over. Reagan is dead and gone. The Moral Majority has disbanded. But the Evangelicals find they are still beating the same old drums and fighting the same old wars that brought them into the political limelight for a moment.

I'm sure that abortion is a bad idea. But it stopped being  hot button issue years ago. The Bible is clear on human sexuality. But gay marriage is the law today. The cold war is long over. But, sit in some churches and you would think that you have gone back in time.

You have to wonder when the Pope is talking about issues from Rome that pastors don't mention ever in their pulpits. We get hung up on social media and smart phones. Old news! AI and LLMs are what's happening in the tech world today. Should we be worried? What does the Bible say about today?

If we do not speak to modern issues, how is the world supposed to know what is right and what is wrong? People are still lost and wandering in the darkness of sin. Let's be a light that shines in the darkness and that doesn't throw up barricades to people who need help and who have crazy ideas.

Enough of the Rush Limbaugh conservativism and the Ronald Reagan charisma. Preach God's word in such a way that, no matter what, we will make Heaven our home.
