"If you preach the gospel in all aspects, with the exception of the issues which deal specifically with your time,” said the reformer Martin Luther, “you are not preaching the gospel at all.” Instead, let us raise up an army of “peculiar” people who take no weapon but the Word and who hail the enemy as one would a friend, all the while keeping our eyes on Christ. It is this gaze that will redeem our historical moment. It’s the only thing that ever has.
