Pastors aren't on the job to save America. We are here to announce its eventual demise & replacement with something that is already here and growing ever more powerful in this world every day - the Kingdom of God. The Church's mission isn't to make America great but Jesus known.
In that regard, while I favor a Capitalism rooted in service, concern for others, & accountable practices, it is, together with Socialism just one more label for a power center that will fall. The flags of men will be folded up before the unfurled banners of Christ the King.
That's what pastors announce. Christian faith is not an exercise for weekend warriors. If anyone expects their pastors to simply affirm them in their marginalizing of ultimate reality, all in the name of the so-called relevant, or worse, in the service of their political agenda,
...they either have the right pastor for their pipe dream, someone who will gladly tickle their itching ears, or they will end up offended over the kind of shepherd who quietly and lovingly serves them as he patiently subverts their false hope. There. You've been warned.
Thy Kingdom Come.
