From the Acton PowerBlog: A New Kind of Evangelical Presence John Armstrong. This is a lengthy post about the state of Evangelicals and politics. From what I see and read, I'll just say that what he describes here "feels" right to me. Great post!
Pundits and pollsters are sorting out the results of Tuesday’s elections day-by-day now. Most are agreed that these mid-term elections do not signal a huge victory for the political left. But why? The Democrats did win both houses of Congress didn’t they?

A more moderate Congress may actually allow President Bush to get some positive things done. It seems to me that the old Congress was led by a party, and by leaders with a great deal of personal corruption and moral cowardice. Many seemed interested in preserving their power more than serving the country and following good leadership. Maybe new blood will make a difference. Time will tell. But things can, and likely will, change significantly by 2008. Do not drop out of the process if you are a Christian. But do make the renewal of your life and your local church a much higher priority than politics since this is where the most important work of cultural and social renewal begins for committed Christians. Maybe 2006 has reminded us of this simple fact. I pray so. We still need a massive movement of true revival in the worst way.
