Something important I think the board needs to hear to help keep this war in perspective:
T total depravity: we are inherently sinful
U unconditional atonement: we need to pay nothing for forgiveness (indeed we cannot)
L limited atonement: not all are saved
I irresistible grace: once called, your eyes will be open, you won’t be able to shut them anymore
P perseverance of the saints: we will face difficulties in this world, since our enemies consist of our own selves, other sinners and the devil himself.
I say this because fixing our government (even permanently) does not solve the God sized hole in our hearts, and there’s no good within ourselves apart from God. This is important to remember as we continue the battle, to know none of us earned salvation or righteousness so we ought to show grace for those not yet awake.
And that, my friends, is true strength.

It's more about your heart being changed than head-knowledge. Even the demons know Christ is King. They confess Jesus and fear him. Don't take solice in your Systematic theology. Seek the Truth. Look for the Church Jesus built.
Both head and heart knowledge are required, if you love God, you ought to desire to know him through the normal means (the Bible and experience as a secondary). If God converts your heart and you never attend a Bible study, who am I to say you won’t be saved, the thief on the cross is a perfect example against that idea actually (may be one of the most interesting stories of salvation apart from the wonder of salvation even being possible). But consider the parable of the seeds, if you ride up quickly with no roots, a storm may take you away. We must be well grounded in the truth. I do agree that it is easy to only focus on one or the other.
