A few months ago, someone asked me on my Facebook page what Christian biographies I would recommend. Reading and discussing biographies of faithful believers can give both children and adults footprints to follow, especially through our suffering.
On the one hand, we should be acutely aware that every candidate is imperfect. We will be voting for a president, not a pastor, and certainly not a Messiah. We must hold fully to the biblical standards of leadership when it comes to appointing church leaders.
Al Mohler has asked the question “Are Evangelicals Dangerous?” His answer is worth reading.
I tire of the incessant church-bashing and endless tales of people disillusioned with their churches. Yes, Christians can be jerks, and we’ve all had rough times in churches, largely because they consist of people too much like us: sinner-jerks in need of grace and truth and growth.

In this case, however, posting this article from the Washington Times seems appropriate. I don’t know the details of the case, but the possibility of jail time for a principal and athletic director, for reasons of public prayer, definitely gets my attention.

Before getting to the main theme of this blog, let me mention a few things.
Eternal Perspective Ministries offers quantities (50 books/case) of my book Why Prolife? to churches for $1.00 per copy ($7.99 retail price).
