Some Christian Leaders to Skip Meeting on GOP Race

A host of prominent Christian leaders, many of whom attended a similar gathering in August at the home of wealthy Texan Paul Pressler, have been summoned once again next weekend to discuss the future of the GOP presidential race and whom they may support. The only problem – several on the invite list are not attending. Pressler, who is a former Texas legislator, Judge and now international lawyer, has been heavily involved in conservative politics since the 1970’s and was a leader in the Southern Baptist political movement that held to propel Ronald Reagan to the presidency in the late 1970’s. In addition to Pressler, others spearheading the meeting include former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, the former chairman of American Family Association, Donald Wildmon and Focus on the Family Founder Dr. James Dodson. However, The Christian Post as learned that the meeting might be much smaller than the invitation list.

I recently sat down with Dr. Land for coffee and we discussed a number of political issues, primarily centered around the Republican presidential race. Dr. Land told me he was going to write an open letter to former Speaker Newt Gingrich and below I have included a link to the article. Not only is Dr. Land's advice to Speaker Gingrich timely, but it is exactly what he needs to do in order to show evangelical voters - namely women - that he is indeed sorry for any personal failures that have hurt others in his life. Having a great deal of personal experience in this area, I can truly say that most people - especially those who embrace and understand God's word - will forgive and simply want to see true repentance from those who have fallen short in the public arena. However, the repentance must be [...]

Marriage & Divorce Rates Troubling in Bible Belt States

(Below is an article I wrote for a national publication in May of 2011) Saying “I do” is easy. Committing to “for better or for worse” appears to be more difficult.
