Re: About face! - Evangelicals and public morality
I've been perplexed by the About face! as well, but I'm wondering if it didn't exist in a kind of hibernation long before trump came along...? There's lot's of talk/writing about his pied-piper abilities and I agree with that, but is there some deeper, even theological foundations in american evange...

Re: Credible News Sources
many lawyers+politicians+activists seem to prefer dedicating their efforts to skewing appearances, rather than fixing anything. they love to make public claims. too often, all political theater, no substance. they take their paychecks, and call it a day. Temp, I'm wondering if you would exempt any ...

Re: Source bashing soap box
I keep on having to check if I'm on MennoNet or one of the "alt right" forums I read. Sometimes some of this conversation feels like the latter. Can't trust polls, can't trust media, no faith in politicians (unless they're Trump or Ben Carson), lots of sensational headlines… can't we bett...

Re: POLL: Relating to Power: The Christian and Politics
Your response does beg some important questions however: What should be the impact of our presence as salt & light in the world? In other words, is the only good that we are to accomplish on earth evangelistic? If so, why does Jesus really care if we cloth the naked, feed the hungry, care for t...

Re: Credible News Sources
Copyright New York Public Radio? Prior to the internet, it was -easy- (for me) to totally ignore tabloids found near every cash register in every store, and, in those days, NPR held credibility (for me, and many others.) outward appearances no longer promise anything. today, these same sources are ...

Re: Source bashing soap box
I guess meandering discussions are a no-no. Personally, I prefer fewer, but longer and even meandering threads over a proliferation of threads trying to cover every nuance, fork or slight in the "trunk" thread. The powers that be are welcome to move my take-down of LifeSiteNews here if it ...

Re: Meanwhile, in Canada
LifeSiteNews tends to exaggerate, repeat poorly sourced stories, and use clickbait headlines. Just because I usually like what they are saying doesn't mean they are in the service of truth. Let's try not to keep repeating fake news. There are lots of good, reputable outlets talking about things lik...
