This is an interesting article from Gary Scott Smith from Grove City College. Should Christians Participate in Politics? by Dr. Gary Scott Smith (EP News)–The next presidential election is one year away. In 2004 evangelicals voted for George W.

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?

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?

Obama’s Postmillenial Dream
Posted in Conservatism, Spirituality of the Church on October 8, 2007 | 14 Comments »
Talk about immanentizing the eschaton… a scary vision of the Kingdom. With Republican candidates struggling to make headway among evangelicals it would not be surprising to see 2008 as the year of the Christian left. How can people who reject all historic forms and tradition on Sunday not drift leftward the other six days? The [...]
