The Evangelical opportunity
By

An amazing article from John W. Whitehead, head of the Rutherford Insitute — a conservative legal organization that, at one point, represented Paula Jones — has just been published. Take a quick look at his bio and you will see what a serious man he is. The following paragraph is such a powerful synopsis of…
“Politics chops off ears. Jesus puts them back.” — a note from a reader
By

A very insightful reader emailed me this: “If the assumption of many is true that Judas Iscariot was a Jewish Zealot, then we can perhaps discern – even allegorically – that the political solution is not the worthy or productive one. According to the gospels Jesus was King of the Jews, yet never is he…

Christianity in America…

…in the House is now on the Democratic hand. It is hard to say right now how many seats Democrats will win. The speeches of Rahm Emanuel, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi speeches were thrilling in the way that election night victory speeches are always exciting. They promised a new America, a better world, salvation…

Rod Dreher, Crunchy Com author and bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif here at Beliefnet, says it very well: “I have to admit that I’m excited about this next era of American politics, which’ll start tomorrow morning. The Dems will take the House, and maybe the Senate, and their Congressional delegation will be more socially conservative than the Dem leadership.…
We need some evangelical realism
By
J-Walking
Despite some of the excitement about evangelical voters moving to the Democrats, the latest figures are a bit more modest – a little south of 30% so far. John Kerry garnered 21% nationally in 2004. Send me your thoughts on the evening – davidkuo@beliefnetstaff.com
