A church in Kentucky isn’t preaching to Britney, they are praying for her and writing to her: “Take a few minutes and write a note to Britney Spears,” [Southland Christian Church Pastor Jon] Weese said. “No preaching.

Three thoughts on the NYT piece entitled “The Evangelical Crackup”. 1. The evangelical political leadership we’ve known for the past 20 years is headed out. The founding generation of leaders like Falwell and Dobson, who first guided evangelicals into Republican politics 30 years ago, is passing from the scene. Falwell died in the spring. Paul…

The Colorado Rockies – the team losing 0-2 in the World Series – have garnered some attention for their faith-based baseball. My friend Patton Dodd, loyal member of the Red Sox Nation (no matter what he might say) even wrote before the Series that God was on the Rockies side. Whenever we think of sports…

Wow, Mike Huckabee does have the front runners very, very nervous. Check out this piece in the WSJ by conservative (very, very economically conservative) John Fund hacking away at Huckabee as a conservative Bill Clinton. …I also know he is not the “consistent conservative” he now claims to be. Nor am I alone. Betsy Hagan,…
