Hearily agree with the spirit of this. Well said. Reminds me of anothers statement I read, not sure who to attribute it to, "whenever religion and politics mix, it's religion that looses."  I believe that's proven true here in the USA.  It kills me that the response of many in the mainstream evangelical church seems to be to either deny the problem, or blame it on the culture. I don't feel it's ever helpful to blame culture, because culture simply "is." Accept it, learn to operate within it, seek to influence it, even confront it in pursuit of radical reformation, but don't blame it. I'm not suggesting culture is always right, but to make it the scapegoat for your problems is simply not helpful.
