A Different 700 Billion Dollar Stimulus Package
Monday, December 1st, 2008If gas prices stay where they are for one year, we will have $700 billion dollars shifted from oil companies to consumers compared to the previous 12 months. Had the price of gas stayed where it is at now over the entire Bush administration, there would have been roughly two trillion dollars shifted from oil [...]
The Evangelical Opportunity with Barack Obama
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Christians on the religious right have an opportunity with the upcoming Obama administration, but I doubt seriously evangelicals will take advantage of the chance they have been given.

The Danger of Big Ideas
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007The Environment. Global warming. Universal Health Care. Poverty. War. These are all issues we must be concerned about. Do you feel a “but” coming? But… There’s a danger in big ideas. The danger is we transfer one cause for another. This is especially dangerous in the emerging church. Many of us have come out of [...]
Pastor to Politician – Do Mike Huckabee’s Sermons Matter?
Friday, December 21st, 2007Evidently Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee isn’t releasing sermons he’s preached. Julie Clawson wonders if he is “embarrassed by what he preached? Has his theology changed? Is he just afraid of controversy?” She brings up a reasonable observation that it seems both pastors and politicians have an aversion to admitting they’ve changed their minds about something. [...]
