Evangelicals have chosen heresy

Evangelicals fought for a place at the table, but we lost our house. The church has been consumed by politics--political priorities and allegiances. Christian brothers and sisters have become opponents. We are no longer united by shared faith, but divided by shared heresy.

When Politics Becomes Heresy is Tim Perry's loving rebuke and call to repentance. Evangelicals are embracing the logic of ancient heresies, and these heresies lead to each other. Once we exchange the gospel for power (Simony), our faith becomes a mere add-on (Gnosticism), our Savior a teacher of self-improvement (Arianism), our mission social action (Pelagianism), and our unity division (Donatism).

The solution is not to switch sides or carve out a third way. Rather, the right response to unbelief is repentance. We must stop, turn around, and return to God's gracious throne.

As for the idols of the nations, they are but silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

Those who make them are like them,

and so are all who put their trust in them.
