Christian Coalition Leader Steps Down because Coalition doesn't view Social ills to be their concern.
and this article:
Evangelical Community up in arms for asking Obama to speak.
Where is the missional attitude in all of this? Am I crazy or is this just insane?
in the Christian Coalition article we find this quote from the director appointee: "But Hunter told Religion News Service he believed his positions were a natural outgrowth of pro-life views. "[I]f we are going to care for the vulnerable, we ought to care as much about the vulnerable outside the womb as inside the womb," he said."
their response? The coalition is a political group and while social concerns are important, that's not their calling.
HUH? did I miss the memo that says the only way a Christian can change things in America is through legislation?
And then the Obama speaking at Saddleback flap. Come on people! If we don't use times like World Aids Day to seek common ground when and where are we? Is being pro-choice a sin unto death? Is there no pro-choice Christians?
It's time we step back and look at the conversation we are having with our neighbors. What are we saying? or do most of neighbors see Christians the way Madonna sees many in the world that we "Are willing to talk the talk, but few are willing to walk the walk."

Nice to see another rant about this obama business.
It is nonsensical in the extreme. How does one have grace for those in their own family who continue to totally miss the point as well as perpetuating the already negative perspective of Christians?
Perhaps this is why Jesus used such strong language with the "religious' of his time. They only seem to understand fighting words. Sometimes I don't know whether to scream or sob. That's when I want to pray, but words escape me....
