In the U.S. presidential election, Republican Trump was elected as the 47th president. This election is perceived as a victory for conservatives after a confrontation between liberals and conservatives. I wonder if this is the result of Trump's strategy of fixing and restoring things that were broken and collapsed, centering on his country.

A long time ago, South Korea had an active democratization movement in the 80s. Those activists are now an influential generation in Korea. I belong to that generation. I remember the words of my seniors around me. They said that if you don't demonstrate democracy in your 20s and 30s, you don't have a heart. But he had no head if he was still demonstrating in his 50s and 60s.

It is a fact of life that our society develops with progressive thinking and behavior. There was a time when I entered the seminary as a young man and fanatically pursued principles and principles. Of course, traces of that remain. What is perceived as corruption needs to be changed. I remember being at the forefront of the seminary and the church. At the time, it seemed like anything and everything had to change (Note: MBTI = ENFJ).

Then, suddenly, in my mid-fifties, I found myself in a position where I couldn't find progressive tendencies, but I had to protect them. In other words, I have a brain. And I used that brain to think more deeply.

In most countries, including South Korea and the United States, there is a division between liberals and conservatives. This is natural and necessary. I think this principle applies to Protestantism as well. Currently, Korean Protestantism is also divided between liberals and conservatives. This seems natural, but it is also a cause for concern.

I was a liberal in my youth, but now I am a conservative. The motivation for my conservative stance is the rapid secularization of Christianity. The number of people leaving the faith is visible like an ebb and flow. This is especially true in a time when it is urgent to defend and pass on the faith to the next generation, let alone spread the gospel.

The concern is not the lack of progressive tendencies in the Korean church or the reform of corruption, but the deviation from the biblical framework by changing or distorting the gospel in the name of the church's inclusion of non-Christians. I am concerned that we are accelerating the secularization of the church. Right~ I am a conservative.

I am reminded of Nehemiah, who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian attack. I would like to meet Nehemiah and the many people who repaired the broken walls with his excellent leadership.
