What If We Listened To The 'Progressive' Christians?
By Michael Brown
November 05, 2018
For the last three years, liberal Christians have told conservative Christians that we were hypocrites for supporting Donald Trump. We were told that we betrayed fundamental gospel values, that we sold our souls in an attempt to regain political power, that we outright denied Jesus.
These accusations, then, lead to an obvious question: Where would we be today if we listened to these "progressive" voices? Where would their counsel lead us? And are they themselves immune to the charge of hypocrisy?

By and large, they lean left and vote left, meaning they end up voting for Democratic candidates - in other words, for pro-abortion, pro-homosexual "marriage" candidates. That means they vote for candidates who support policies that put LGBT rights above religious rights. And they vote for candidates who support pouring millions of dollars into the coffers of Planned Parenthood.
For liberal Christians like Brian McLaren, whom I cited in my last article, if you do not support gay "marriage," you're not being Christian. Talk about turning things upside down.
Had we followed the advice of these leaders: 1) there would be almost no chance of overturning Roe v. Wade for another generation; 2) our religious freedoms would continue to evaporate; 3) our children would be forced to endure an increasingly aggressive LGBT agenda in their schools; 4) there would be less and less pushback to the intimidating, silencing tactics of the left. (This is just a short list of the most obvious concerns.)
That's why I tweeted, "It's ironic that 'progressive' Christians blast evangelicals who voted for Trump, calling us hypocrites. Yet they support pro-abortion candidates, they support radical LGBT activism, and they often stand against Israel. Perhaps this is the pot calling the kettle black?"
