Political evangelicalism is a system that is deeply influenced by depraved men, and it has exactly the features that depraved men will demand of an institution they control.

The stark reality of this depravity is hidden from millions of evangelicals, including millions of Southern Baptists. They love God and their neighbors and live lives far removed from politics. You would want them next door. You would find much to admire in the way they raise their children and serve their communities.
 They almost all vote Republican, but for many, it’s as much a matter of habit as it is a matter of deeply held conviction. It’s what you do when you go to an evangelical church. It’s part of how you fit into the community you love.

The modern history of political evangelicalism is riddled with the same kind of story: A powerful man gains a following by casting himself as the heroic warrior against the heretical and the godless. When he uses his power and fame to indulge his basest desires, he treats exposure as an attack and justice as persecution.

Against this backdrop, President Trump wasn’t an aberration; he was an inevitability. When he asked evangelicals for their political support, little did he know that he was walking into the house that Paul Pressler built.
