Revamping the Republican Message

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 9:26 pm By C. Ryan Knight

Writing for Fox News, Dr. Manny Alvarez wrote an open letter to his fellow Republicans calling for his party to “go back to basics.” He admits his party failed to pitch its message successfully, and recognizes that it’s “not listening” to increasingly important demographic groups in America like Latinos: I think that if the Republican Party wants to change, the way that we transmit our message has to be fundamentally recalculated. You literally have to go out and identify with the... Read more

Citizenship Confusion: Penetrating the Electronic Buzz of the 21st Century for Evangelism

Last updated on: November 8, 2012 at 6:21 am By Alan Noble

Every Thursday in Citizenship Confusion, Alan Noble discusses how we confuse our heavenly citizenship with citizenship to the state, culture, and the world. It only hits me when I wake up in the morning. Sometimes I feel like killing myself. I wouldn’t tell anybody that. But I get this sick feeling, like there’s no point to any of it. I need something more to get me up in the morning. —Anonymous friend a long time ago, paraphrased. There is a natural momentum... Read more

Time to Reject Legislative Obstructionism

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 6:36 am By C. Ryan Knight

Both parties agreed that yesterday’s presidential election would determine more than just which candidate won. It would more importantly decide which vision for America citizens wish to pursue. By a fairly narrow popular vote and a landslide in the electoral college, the Democratic vision, with its roots in the New Deal and the Great Society, prevailed. After the election, however, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell pushed back against President Obama, saying: The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses... Read more

How We Honor Our President

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 9:21 am By Drew Dixon

Monday afternoon, I challenged Christians with the following words: I hope you vote wisely and thoughtfully tomorrow, but please, don’t buy into the idolatrous lie that your future hangs in the balance. If you are a Christian, I would encourage you, regardless of the results of tomorrow’s election, to be gracious, kind, and humble. Show the world that your hope is not in this life or in the things of this world, but in the One who offered Himself on... Read more

10 Ways to Detox from the Election

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 9:04 am By Brad Williams

It’s Wednesday morning, and Mitt Romney has conceded the election to President Barack Obama. That means there are several million disappointed people this morning, and several million very happy people. Where I live, the majority are in the disappointed pool. I think my state went probably 55% for Romney, and if I had to totally guess, I’d say our church members probably voted 95% for Romney. To help those who are upset this morning, I’ve compiled a short list of things... Read more

My Children Would Have Voted for Obama

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 1:09 pm By Brad Williams

I have utterly failed as a conservative leaning dude, but I think I may have won as a parent. This morning, as I was taking my second grade son to school, I mentioned to him that I was going to vote after I dropped him off. He became very excited at this bit of news, which surprised me a little bit. This is sort of how our conversation went: Son: Papa! We studied about the election in our class! Me:... Read more

Florida Proves Higher Education Is No Longer about Learning

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 12:21 am By Nick Rynerson

In Florida, legislation is about to hit the state floor proposing that college majors that are “more marketable” will get tuition discounts, while “less marketable degree programs” will see a rise in tuition. Officially gone are the days when students would go to college to gain a firmer intellectual grasp on the world they live in. With this, transactional, vocational higher education is being legally cemented into American society. In today’s article at The Atlantic, Dale Brill, the head of... Read more
