Mara Vanderslice wondered how the gospel made people Republicans until she went to work for Howard Dean. Far from courting religious groups, he attacked them. When she went to work for John Kerry, he refused to take calls from Christianity Today. But, it’s a different election season and Christians find themselves at, a moment of truth.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

CNN.com reports that some Christian congregations are turning to Scientology for help. Two pastors, (one a Pentecostal and the other an African Methodist Episcopal), “explained…they still preach…Christianity…but in a modern world, borrowing from Scientology helps…they do not see Scientology as a threat to their faith, but rather as a tool to augment it.” No doubt, we find ourselves at, A Moment of Truth.

For most evangelicals, when it comes to voting, the answer is clear: the Republican deemed most likely to win. Yet, there may be a new kind of revolution underway that threatens the cohesion of that bloc that made George W. Bush President.

Widely respected scientist, Francis Collins, affirms his most recent book, “The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief,” by saying, “I am a scientist and a believer, and I find no conflict between those world views. As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God's language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.” Write Comment (0 Comments) |

When David fled from King Saul, he declared to Jonathan that there was but one step between himself and death (1 Sam. 20:3). He found himself at, a moment of truth. Sadly, there are many in our land in the same situation. But help is on the way. Write Comment (0 Comments) |
