On the surface this doctrine claims all power is of God, but in reality it seeks glory in man. Pietists look inwardly, denying any responsibility for the world's affairs around them, effectually making the Gospel an impotent, and irrelevant faith.
Pietism emphasizes martyrdom and suffering, rather than conquest and victory.
According to these Pietistic thinkers, sociologically, there are no longer any real Biblical solutions for the evils of society, and if there were, it is up to some other group to implement them. What this tends to develop in the Christian masses is a sense of foreboding and doom. These folks are simply waiting for the day of their death. Yet, the Prophets and Apostles were very much involved sociologically, politically, and economically in the events of the world around them. To those that would hear, there were blessings.
