God’s grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I’ll do that for you. Or if you don’t do this for me, I won’t do that for you. And God’s grace works in a completely different direction.

Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.
