The foxes in the lives of believers can deceive and drive us to engage in external religious practices without a true dependence on Christ.
I am pumped over the potential for renewal and rebirth! Our nation at long last is firmly in the hands of a bastion of pseudo-Christians exempted from any need for repentance. As a member of a thin minority within both Evangelicalism and American politics, I can hope for no less than God's corrective hand on our nation and on His Church! Ready to suffer the pains of nationbirth without the relief of abortion? Try the present, dynamic, triumphant Kingdom of God!
"What does it cost to be a Christian in an un-Christian world?" To most of us, the cost was learning to be more effective in getting random folks to repeat the Sinners Prayer, whereupon notches were added to the old salvation belt! My first conquest turned out to be on the lamb from the law, disappearing into the woodwork as the cops moved in. My second was a Catholic lad whom I bullied into a profession of faith but who quickly recanted it after sharing the experience with his priest. A third was a buddy in college who pressed me to share with him what was different about me. He moved on to the military and likely fell through the cracks of life, as did so many of us all.
