Civil War Ministry

A note from my reading on Civil War Ministry...

I was happy to read that Christians and Christian organizations during the Civil War emphasized spiritual issues over ideological ones. Preaching focused on the spiritual needs of individuals and less on winning the war. It is encouraging to hear such a level-headed tactic in such a horrendous time. I would encourage American Christians to take a lesson from our past and put our focus on spiritual growth over ideological issues that seem to be the priority of so many well-known church leaders today (or at least those who end up on TV).
