Obama Is Our President

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Al Mohler’s got it right again in American Has Chosen a President:
There must be absolutely no denial of the legitimacy of President-Elect Obama’s election and no failure to accord this new President the respect and honor due to anyone elected to that high office.  Failure in this responsibility is disobedience to a clear biblical command…

Martin Luther King Jr. Was a Republican

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Yesterday my wife Emily and I drove up to visit Thomas Jefferson’s homstead Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia, about three and half hours northwest of Wake Forest. On the way on I-95 (or was it I-85…can’t remember) I noticed the following billboard: “Martin Luther King Jr. Was a REPUBLICAN.” See the picture below which I grabbed [...]

Akin: Faithful Evangelicals Cannot Vote for Barack Obama

Friday, October 17th, 2008

I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t read our president Danny Akin’s emails. I guess one excuse is that they’re usually lengthy and numerous; but this latest email sent out to the student body and published on his blog is truly worth a read and hereby receives my commendation.
Below are Akin’s thoughts prefacing [...]

Hate for Sarah Palin

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

These comments by DJ Chloe Harris make up what has got to be the most blatantly ad hominem, unintelligent critique of a political candidate one’s likely to come across. [N.b. extremely coarse language; you've been warned.] It’s rightfully categorized on the earworm blog under “Random Drivel” and “Rant.”
What’s encouraging is that numerous commenters have seen [...]

Jesus for President Afterthoughts

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

I blogged earlier in the week on going to see Shane Claiborne speak in Raleigh (Jesus for President: Shane Claiborne in Raleigh) on his new book Jesus for President. I knew that it was going to be unlike anything I’d seen or heard and that it was going to be strongly politically charged (e.g., “It’s [...]

Jesus for President: Shane Claiborne in Raleigh

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Shane Claiborne’s Jesus for President book tour continues this Tuesday (July 22) with a stopover in Raleigh at the First Baptist Church Raleigh which is apparently sponsored by the Triangle Mennonite churches.
It starts at 7:00pm and is free to everyone. I’ll be there and if you’ll be there, wear a red shirt so I’ll know [...]

Intellectual Respectability of Mitt Romney

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Isn’t it true that we want an intelligent, “smart” president? In all the talk of Mitt Romney the Mormon, his run for the presidency, and religious test for office, I have not heard anyone mention the intellectual respectability of the man in that he’s Mormon. If a presidential candidate denies that we’ve been to the [...]
