John Podhoretz has a fine refutation of the attack by the secular media on Sarah Palin’s evangelical faith. He also notes, with proper skepticism, the so-called rise of the “liberal” evangelicals.
By which is meant evangelical Christians who favor left-of-center policies. Or, if you prefer, those who favor [...]

Good news from one Marine
Posted in Evangelicals, Iraq, Islam on May 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
In the military, you are trained first and foremost to think for yourself. Contrary to much public opinion, especially on the Left, Marines are taught to adapt to circumstances and to improvise. And, most certainly not as an afterthought, to obey all lawful orders without hesitation or reservation.
Now we have a [...]
What Evangelism Isn’t
Posted in Evangelicals, apologetics on December 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Interesting article by Mark Dever in Christianity Today. Two points stood out for me. They relate to the “social gospel” so beloved of political liberals, and the megachurch pack-’em-in-the-pews movement.
For the first, the social gospel, or any of our acts of Christian mercy, may be good things. But they are not evangelilsm. [...]
“beyond human”

Well, we’ve had Chuck’s for Huck, now we’ve got an even greater force in Huck’s corner: Jesus Christ. From the YouTube video, Mike Huckabee tells us, in so many words, “Jesus is my campaign manager and friend:
STUDENT: Recent polls show you surging… What do you attribute this surge to?

“Evangelical Vote Still Appears Divided”

Shocked. Truly shocked. That social conservatives are not monolithically endorsing just one Republican candidate. This article in the WaPo, which appears typical for the liberal media, tells the entire tale in its headline: “Consensus Lacking in GOP Endorsements — Evangelical Vote Still Appears Divided.”
Prompting the article is the surprising, some might say [...]
Liberal Gospel

Liberals just love it when one of their own can assume the mantle of an evangelical Christian. Case in point is a Democrat, John Arthur Eaves, running for governor in Mississippi. The Washington Post describes him as a “wealthy evangelical Christian.” The liberal press just loves liberals who [...]
Christians and Jews

Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, has perhaps the best explanation of how Christians should relate to the Jews. It is an older article, The Chosen People Puzzle, but well worth the time. Some summary points:
I have a nonnegotiable commitment to evangelism, and this includes witnessing to Jewish people about my [...]
Ruth Bell Graham

Ruth Bell Graham, the gracious and Spirit-led wife of Rev. Billy Graham, passed on this afternoon, at the age of 87 (her birthday was June 10th).
My prayers are with her husband, and her five children, who include Franklin Graham — a lion among evangelicals. The apple, as they say, falls not far from the tree.
R.I.P.
