Tim Keller: Christians Will Be Purged From Govt + Schools, And "We Brought It On Ourselves"

Famed pastor and author Timothy Keller shares his thoughts on "Christian Nationalism" and the book "Taking Back America For God," telling the Church Leaders Podcast that he agrees with "the Christian right" on policy but says the Republican Party's tone, particularly on LGBT issues, has wrought the imminent persecution of Christians in public life. -TRANSCRIPT HIGHLIGHTS- For the last 20 years the Christian right, though I usually would agree with their positions, I'm pro-life, I still don't think that same-sex marriage is a good idea for the country or people. So I would technically be agreeing with them, but you know how they raised their money. For 20 years, they sent out letters talking about how "You've got to send us money, because the gay people are going to try to come and take your children away, because they're evil and because the Democrats and the left are gonna destroy your religious liberty." They just said awful things and vilified people. It's one of the reasons why so many gay activists now just don't want to forgive evangelicals, because when they had a little more power in the '80s and '90s, that's how they raised their money. That's how they got people out. And weirdly enough, that's not the Christian way at all. The Christian way is, the way up is down. The way to rule is to serve. This is how Jesus did it. The way to get happy is to not think about your own happiness but the happiness of others. The way to get any influence is to empty yourself and be a servant. That's Jesus' way, and they're not doing that. They're actually using the Nietzschean way. And I think what that did was, by for a long time just keeping evangelicals frothing at the mouth about how everything is going so bad and making everybody so angry. By the way, things are getting bad for evangelicals. It's very possible. I am not in denial about the fact that ten years from now, if you have evangelical convictions about sex and gender, you may not be able to work for a major university or for the government or for a big corporation. And it's not that Christians haven't faced that other places in the past. We shouldn't be crybabies. Nevertheless, having said all that, yeah, we nurtured this. And Christian nationalists use that. And therefore, we brought it on ourselves.
