Just like in the late 1980s and the late 1990s, we are in a period of criticism. Everyone is complaining about everything, especially now that we are on the eve of an election. Still, we should not allow ourselves to simply complain, nor should we allow ourselves to throw our hands up and say, "Forget it!" Clearly, there is still work to be done, and there are ways to improve on our predecessors.

Remember, "if you personally do not like some of the details of what [the Christian right has] done, do it better." Francis Schaeffer was right in the 1980s, and he is still right today.
