More from John Piper in Bloodlines:
... to our shame, there have been many contradictions between what the gospel is and what professing Christians have done. I will say more about that at the conclusion of this book. But the answer to those inconsistencies is not to domesticate the gospel into another ideological mule to help pull the wagon of social progress. If that’s what it is, then we may safely set it aside, and eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
I see this at least in the US in both parties. I hate when false-humility (or worse false-understandings of the nature of forgiveness and or knowledge of the church) steps in to help the gospel. It does not, it simply replaces it with a lie.
