William Wilberforce wrote the following to his brother Alexander:
"I am now most thoroughly of opinion, and it is an opinion founded on experience, that on the system of 'Do this and live', no peace, and even no true and worthy obedience can ever be attained. It is 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.' When this belief enters the heart, joy and confidence enter along with it . . . with a new principle and a new power, we become new creatures."

Great quote... I have been preaching through the book of Colossains and have used Wilberforce's life and work as examples of the new creation order. If you have time, how do you think his pre-mil eschatology effected his work. Do you think that, evangelicals have lost their ability to impact culture because we have a "2012"/ Left Behind mentality?

I mean his "post-mil" not "pre-mil" eschatology.
