Winning the culture for Christ is not in the gospel’s mandate

Evidence

We can acknowledge and grieve the harm that we and our organizations have done as we have chased unfettered power to enact a particular vision of the world on those around us. We can begin to recognize that Christians were never called to “win” their culture for Christ (whatever that might mean) or vote only for Christians like them to hold political office. — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 109
