Loser Theology: Why the Weak will not Inherit the Earth

“The Bible Belt is teetering toward collapse, and I say let it fall.” This is a real quote, and it is Loser Theology. Christians in America believed the lie that you could have truth without Christ, and it has rotted out the Christian spine. You may come to the public square, but religion must stay between your ears. Americans went from founding a great Christian nation, crafting a brilliant constitutional document, and adventuring westward, to being subjugated, taunted, and chased around by secular and puritanical busybodies. The greatest temptation of Loser Theology is how much easier it is than its alternative. Fighting for and keeping a Christian culture requires raising godly children, it means planting churches immune to fashionable lies, it means starting schools and other institutions and keeping them for more than a single generation. So stand up straight. Chin up. Put your shoulders back. And cheer up, it's worse than you might think. But our marching orders from Christ in the Great Commission are clear.Losers, Cowards, and the Do-Nothings need not apply. — D. Michael Clary is a writer and pastor (M.
