Flipping the dial through available radio stations there will blare out to any listener an array of broadcasts, 24/7, propagating Religious Right politics, along with what they deem to be “old-time gospel preaching.” This is especially true of what comes over the airwaves in Bible Belt southern states.

I applaud the growing commitment of Evangelicals to the needs of the poor and oppressed in urban America.

Sigmund Freud was the apostle of disbelief. He was the one who made psychoanalysis a part of our culture, and in so doing he kicked out a flying buttress that had been essential for holding up our cathedral of faith.

If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.

Evangelicals need to take a good look at what their issues are. Are they really being faithful to Jesus? Are they being faithful to the Bible?

I'm not denying that depression can be spiritually induced. Guilt from having wronged and hurt others can bring it on. A sense of having failed to live out the will of God can give rise to depression. Certainly the fear of death and what might follow can sap the joy out of life.

I've always been skeptical of those television healers who are bald. If I had that gift, that'd be the first thing I'd fix.

If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?

So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

Lies and distortions can be spread, via the Internet, in an inexpensive way, and the effects are astounding.

I'm not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians.

After-school tutoring programs, care for the elderly, shelters for the homeless, disaster relief work, and a variety of other services would all benefit from government funding.

I am looking for suggestions on what we can do about extremists within our own society. They cannot be ignored.

I think the real place where most evangelicals have trouble with the Democratic Party is on the issue of abortion.

I am not suggesting that all those missionary organizations working in Haiti should pack up and go home, but I am urging them to understand that Haiti does not need clever Americans with newly contrived schemes for saving their country.

I, for one, am quite willing to join the 'forgive, forget and move on' crowd, but it does make me wonder if Evangelicals are going to sound believable when they say that they tend to vote Republican because of their religious commitments to the family.

The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.

President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?

Even if there were no heaven and there were no hell, would you still follow Jesus? Would you follow him for the life, joy and fulfilment he gives you right now?

Our call is to be God's agents, to rescue not only the human race but the whole of creation.
