TRYING TO “VOTE BIBLICAL VALUES?” NICE TRY… [DEAR BRETHREN 12]

Dear brother,

You’ve asked us here at Walk Worthy about the recent troubling developments by Christian ministries regarding the American Presidential race.

Unless a person’s been hiding in some remote Afghanistan cave without any input from the ubiquitous digital media, we’ve been bombarded during a late American voting season by Billy Graham’s full page ads to “vote Biblical values.”

Very perplexing…to say the least.

Let’s do something ‘Biblical,’ shall we? And be like the more ‘noble minded’ Bereans in Acts 17.10-12 by putting Billy and his son Franklin (who certainly paid for the ads) to the test.

First off, to authenticate the truthfulness of Billy’s ministry here at the very end of his life, let’s take a look at [Read more…]

JESUS FOR AMERICAN PRESIDENT? HIS GLOBAL TV INTERVIEW [MONDAY MANNA 163]

by 6 Comments

(Note: you may first want to meet Sam and Roland as they covered President Gary Forest in this dramatic and popular story, with a very unexpected twist: AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT FINALLY FOLLOWS JESUS  [MONDAY MANNA 88] )

“Good evening again, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Senior Anchor Sam Waters along with my colleague Roland Panna here at the Badger News Forum in New York City.

“Welcome to this special Tuesday night edition of ‘Meet The Presidential Candidates.’ Our broadcast here is being picked up globally.

“Tonight is most unusual…most unusual indeed. Historic, I might add. Never before have Roland and I interviewed such a…a…a American Presidential candidate and his VP choice that is as controversial…and as intriguing…as this one. Not even close!

“And the anticipation and excitement is incredible. I can’t remember this much buzz since President Forest revealed that bomb shell announcement four years ago. And our live studio audience is all geared up. I’m certain we’ll have some probing questions tonight for our candidates.”

He then turned to his co-anchor sitting to his right.

“Well, Roland, what do we say about [Read more…]

A DIFFERENT PATH FOR CHRISTIANS & POLITICS – by CAL THOMAS [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 97]

Brethren,

Truly, I figured I’d be long, long, long gone to heaven to be with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and the saints of all time before I ever saw anything resembling this from this popular right-wing brother.

Well, ye of little faith, Marc.

Here’s a fascinating article by national syndicated columnist Cal Thomas.  If anybody would’ve asked me a dozen years ago if this piece would’ve come from the pen of Thomas, I would’ve laughed myself silly.  I guess I didn’t have enough faith.  I’ve repented.  I’m so pleased that brother Cal has seen fit to join the school of reason with what the Word teaches us in how to change the world around us.  Enjoy this as I have, brethren.

Here’s a brief but shocking sample:

“Suppose millions of conservative evangelicals engaged in an old and proven type of radical behavior. Suppose they followed the admonition of Jesus to “love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison and care for widows and orphans,” not as ends, as so many liberals do by using government, but as a means of demonstrating God’s love for the whole person in order that people might seek Him?”

God is in the miracle business full time, isn’t He?!   😳   Sometimes I forget. You too? This drives me to deeper and more intense prayer, and praise. With God, nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible.

A DIFFERENT PATH – by Cal Thomas

After 30 years of trying to transform culture through politics, conservative evangelicals would be wise to try a different, God-glorifying direction.

When Barack Obama takes the oath of office on January 20, 2009, he will do so in the 30th anniversary year of the founding of the so-called Religious Right. Born in 1979 and midwifed by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, the Religious Right was a reincarnation of previous religious-social movements that sought moral improvement through legislation and court rulings. Those earlier movements—from abolition (successful) to Prohibition (unsuccessful)—had mixed results. [Read more…]
