The Prodigal Son and Christian Nationalism | Doug Wilson

What it all comes down to is that America needs an intervention. Suppose a loved one in your family decides to go on a bender, let’s say, and it lasts for a couple weeks longer than it ever did before, and so then somebody calls a family meeting, and there is much discussion amidst the lamentations. At the end of the meeting, a representative of the family is chosen to go talk to the errant one. The family ambassador is urged to be kind, but stern, like a Dutch uncle.

The backslider had a good upbringing, they all think, and still has “good bones,” as it were. But the good bones don’t obscure or mask the reality of the big-time sinning, not at all. Like the prodigal son in the story, the good training seemed to come out in the repentance, which was straight up the middle. But unfortunately, this was preceded by a lot of whiskey and not a few women, also pursued straight up the middle. The repentance was good, which is good, because there was quite a bit of bad material to work with.
