The biblical picture is not one of an upward, linear progress or a precipitous, downward decline. It is a more complicated picture of a fallen world in which there is a gospel of power.

Conservative evangelicals don't want government support for our faith, because we believe God created all consciences free and a state-coerced act of worship isn't acceptable to God. Moreover, we believe the gospel isn't in need of state endorsement or assistance. Wall Street may need government bailouts but the Damascus Road never does.

I believe that we're all created in the image of God and we're all fallen sinners. And I think we can recognize that as we look backward in history.

I think Confederate Battle Flag is a symbol that causes a great deal of division and reminds us of a really hurtful legacy and past...

And for some people, that was a symbol of defiance against that.

Ultimately, the transgender question is about more than just sex. It's about what it means to be human.

I think we can remember our past without valorizing parts of our past that we ought to see as wrong.
