Grace in Defeat
Friday, February 8th, 2008 : By Eric Farr
John Mark Reynolds captured my thoughts well on Mitt Romney’s announcement yesterday that he was getting out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He exhibited a graciousness that is too rare in public life today. Here is a brief excerpt from Reynolds’ post…
A gentleman knows how to lose and do so with dignity.
He knows what is important and what is not. He lives for a cause bigger than self.
Nothing so proved the point that Mitt Romney is a gentleman and a statesman as his withdrawing from the race.
He could have continued and built up delegates for himself. He could not win. Most important, he loves this nation and this nation is at war. If the Democrats

Wayne Grudem Comes Out of the Closet!

Robertson Endorses Giuliani for President
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 : By Dan Miller
Pat Robertson, ordained Minister and Founder of “The 700 Club” TV show, has endorsed Rudy Giuliani to be the next president of the United States. I find this endorsement startling given Mr. Giuliani’s clear and unflinching pro-abortion stance. Mr. Robertson simply believes that the abortion issue is not the highest priority for a President to consider during this time in the life of our Country. (see speech and read the entire article).

#2. Should leaders in evangelical Christianity endorse candidates at all? Why or why not?
BTW. Sample some of the comments under the …
