Someone recently asked me what I thought of the Manhattan Declaration. For those who don’t know, the declaration I’m referring to links Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Protestants together under the banner “Christian” to stand for life and traditional marriage in our culture. It’s an attempt to stick together as Christians in our opposition to these [...]

In my blog finds I highlight some of the best articles I’ve found online recently. You can see all my blog finds (courtesy of Google Reader) in the sidebar.
Obama tries to appeal as a uniter. Politics will be changed if we vote him in. He will work across party lines, etc. etc. [...]

This is another rare political post from me, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to speak out about something.
While I think the Iraqi war was mishandled in many ways, and the post-war plan was ineffective, I agree with the decision to invade Iraq. It wasn’t about one president’s desire to complete what his father started. [...]
In the conclusion to my series on understanding the land promise made to Israel, I made the claim that America is just another secular, pagan nation. I’m not too surprised that someone objected to my claim. The idea that America is a Christian nation is a very common idea, but it is still misguided.
Yes, [...]
I was stunned by Romney’s withdrawal from the race. Pleasantly surprised but stunned nonetheless.
But rather than Huckabee’s chances improving, it seems that the pundits and media are ready to declare McCain the winner. Romney didn’t want to prolong the primary stage of the campaign, and it is feared that Huckabee would just be [...]
No. It’s not because Romney’s Mormon and Huckabee’s Baptist. I contend Huckabee’s evangelical support goes deeper than that. The roots of his support are grounded in concepts the political punditry and main-stream media can’t seem to comprehend.

Huckabee’s Night
Mike Huckabee surprised a lot of people, including me. The polls showed him declining in the south, with either McCain or Romney taking those states from him. Instead he won Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and also West Virginia (full results here). He came within a few thousand votes of taking Missouri, [...]
Huckabee won the first state of this Super Tuesday. West Virginia gave its 18 delegates to him.**
He upset heavily favored Romney to do so, and that may be a harbinger of things to come later tonight.
Romney, and his supporters have everywhere trumpeted the notion that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. [...]
