This article critiques modern U.S. Christianity's shift toward political activism and cultural dominance, arguing the church's true mission is to proclaim (PREACH) the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples, not enforce morality. Drawing from Scripture, Church Fathers, history (e.g., Constantine, Crusades), and Luther, it calls for evangelism over culture wars, emphasizing heart transformation through repentance.
