Maybe we could learn something from these Trappist monks. Sounds like an outstanding idea for a tent-making ministry. If you are ever in Belgium, check out this brew for me. Meanwhile, I’ll be at work on a Covenanter version. Wouldn’t the blue banner look great on a beer bottle? All I need is to discover [...]

Bush by a ratio of nearly 4-to-1 and seemed poised to have a major impact on [...]

Should Pastors Endorse?
Posted in 2008 Politics, Conservatism on November 14, 2007 | 19 Comments »
While we are on the topic of who’s/ why’s of endorsing Presidential candidates, I would raise a different question. Should Pastor’s engage in endorsing of candidates? Does this violate the spirituality of the church? Thoughts?
Do Evangelical Voters Care About Federalism?
Posted in 2008 Politics, Conservatism on November 13, 2007 | 14 Comments »
Or subsidarity? If Janet Folger is any indication- not so much. I am as committed to the pro-life and as traditonal marriage causes as much as the next red blood conservative Calvinist but what ever happened to federalism, states rights, and localism? This is exactly the kind of thinking that causes evangelicals to be rabid [...]

With the war effort continuing to flounder… A dollar that is crashing… And oil prices causing inflation… It is no wonder Ron Paul is starting to catch fire.

Pat Robertson and Rudy Giuliani… perfect together? Story here Politics does make strange bedfellows… who would have thought you would find these two under the sheets? You have to feel bad for poor Mike Huckabee… where is he supposed to find a base?
