Right, Left or Jesus

Russell Moore had a piece on his blog recently that looked at where American Christianity has been since World War 2, and where it is heading today. While many evangelicals will readily point to liberal Christianity as having abandoned the Gospel for social engineering, they have ignored the plank in their own eye. Moore has this interesting comment:
“On the one hand, the tactics of the old social gospel liberals have been inherited, ironically enough, by the Religious Right. Once again, in many quarters, a political program has replaced the gospel. Just listen to Christian talk radio for an hour and see where the emphasis is.”

Maybe both the Christian Left and the Christian Right should examine their aims to see if their square with the mission of Jesus.
