Mormons, Missionary Strategy, and American Politics

by David Rogers on October 31, 2011

The place was Badajoz, Spain, the time about 15 years ago. I was at that time missionary-pastor of the local Baptist church, back when there was still a place for that type of assignment within IMB strategy. We were hosting a few volunteer workers from the States, and that night they wanted to eat hamburgers, [...]

Voting for a Non-Christian President

by Brandon Smith on October 14, 2011

Denny Burk posted an interesting piece on his website about Wayne Grudem’s endorsement of Mitt Romney in 2007. He quotes Grudem: Have we come to the point where evangelicals will only vote for people they consider Christians? I hope not, for nothing in the Bible says that people have to be born again Christians before [...]

Open Thread: Who’s Your Early Favorite for the 2012 Election?

by Dave Miller on September 17, 2011

This is really dangerous and I may regret it and just trash the whole thing. But someone asked me the other day what I thought of a candidate.  I don’t pay much attention.  As an Iowan, I will see and hear more than I want of the Republican candidates in the months between now and [...]

Bin Laden, Eternity, and Why I’m not in Charge

by Doug Hibbard on May 3, 2011

By now, most of you have heard the news that the US Military has killed Osama bin Laden. His identity was verified, and then he was “buried at sea” in accordance with Islamic tradition. First, I’ve got a confession to make. I have not been diligent in his case to honor Matthew 5:44 and pray [...]

Russell Moore on Glenn Beck and American Christianity

by Brandon Smith on August 30, 2010

Honestly, this is one of the best articles I have read in quite some time. Russell Moore nails it on the head in regards the influence Beck and those like him have on American Christianity: Rather than cultivating a Christian vision of justice and the common good (which would have, by necessity, been nuanced enough [...]

How Should Christians Respond to the Proposition 8 Debate?

by Brandon Smith on August 20, 2010

This was originally posted at Modern March Unless you live under a rock, you have seen the latest news on the Proposition 8 case. Earlier this month, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled that Proposition 8 violates the constitution, a ruling that could potentially overturn the California voters’ decision that same-sex marriage [...]
