Evangelicals Have a Bigger Problem Than Their Trump Support

It's their own form of Christianity that is the problem, and talk about "holiness" being the priority is useless if Evangelicals don't know how it is to be achieved. How many Evangelicals are deracinated civic nationalists who have accepted liberalism and capitalism as foundational values? How many of them have already capitulated to feminism?

Rod Dreher: The Coming Christian Reckoning

Dreher writes:
It’s not just the Evangelical church. All the churches — and that also means conservative churches and liberal churches — who have substituted and continue to substitute chasing issues for cultivating holiness, and the practices of holiness, are going to fall. You cannot vote, or demonstrate, or emote your way out of this Reckoning.

Christians who haven’t been making plans for the aftermath had better get started.

There will be a Reckoning, but Dreher's solution that is the Benedict Option is inadequate. Even the focus on personal holiness is not enough, as holiness is a conformity to the commandments of God. Dreher will never criticize feminism fully.
