Evangelical political power delivered major electoral and policy wins—from the Moral Majority to Project 2025 and the overturning of Roe. Yet church attendance has collapsed and the “nones” keep rising. This piece traces four decades of activism and asks the hard question: Did the Kingdom advance, or did politics become ultimate while the nation’s soul slipped away?

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.
