the voter chooses not a position of principle but the less objectionable of two competing oligarchies. understanding the franchise as a means of communicating to the bearers of political authority underlines how seriously the christian witness is compromised by the fact that for most christians the decision about how to vote is not the expression of any careful evaluation of what needs to be said ...

there is a struggle underway among american evangelicals. thank god. its a struggle to regain the heart of jesus which is a heart that leans toward the poor. evangelicalism is a movement fueled by spiritual awakenings .
these awakenings typically begin with the poor and spread to the rich. without the poor there would be no evangelical movement in the united states. so this struggl...... [Show More]

rob bell and don golden release a very important book for the church. the reason i say it is a very important book is because this book sums up much of where rob bell is coming from in his theology. there are a lot of people that i run into who question why i might follow a lot of what rob bell teaches or read a lot of his influences brueggemann wright mclaren rohr etc. they can be ......

if you really understand the point of the emerging movement youd know why it would be so inappropriate for me to try to reach firm conclusions. the emerging churches are all about conversation and discovery and opposed to declaring that a final answer has been reached. therefore its impossible to capture the soul of the movement in a list of propositions. you see being a t......
