I’m Bored. There’s Nothing to Do in Atlanta

Last updated on: August 13, 2013 at 6:07 am   By Bill Blankschaen

I almost laughed right then and there when the Subway sandwich artist said it. My lovely bride and I were exploring options in Atlanta last fall during the Catalyst conference and had stopped for a quick bite. Because we were considering moving to Atlanta at the time, we asked the man with the disposable gloves what he thought of Atlanta. “There’s nothing to do in Atlanta,” he replied, matter-0f-factly. Had I been eating, I would have choked on a mouthful... Read more

The Isolationist Immigration Gospel of the Evangelical Immigration Table

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 5:22 pm   By Bill Blankschaen

Although I have great respect for many of the evangelical leaders who signed on to the original letter from the Evangelical Immigration Table, I have a few problems with how the evangelical label is being exploited for political gain. You can read some of my thoughts on that here. I had some hopes that we might actually see meaningful immigration reform early on in the process. [ See my post Immigration 2.0: I Want to Believe! ] I still haven’t... Read more

Privileged to have my thoughts on leadership featured with my friends at Catalyst. The beginning of the post follows. Visit the site with a click here to read the post in its entirety.   It’s hardwired into all of us.

Why Christian Culture Is Unthinkable in the Western World

Last updated on: June 28, 2013 at 10:23 am   By Bill Blankschaen

This is a guest post from my friend, Dr. P. Andrew Sandlin, President of the Center for Cultural Leadership. This post is an excerpt from his brief but transformational new book Christian Culture: An Introduction. It is essential reading to understand “what Christian culture was, how we lost it, the high price we’ve paid for losing it,  and what we can do to create a new Christian culture.” Follow his blog here. Today we live in a radically secular culture. Secularization... Read more

Did George Soros Enlist Evangelical Leaders on the “Gang of 8” Immigration Bill (S. 744)?

Last updated on: June 14, 2013 at 12:08 pm   By Bill Blankschaen

It’s an odd pairing, I admit. George Soros and Evangelical Christian leaders. There can be little doubt that the Soros agenda and that of most Christians — even most people — is radically different. So why are some claiming that Soros actually enlisted the help of Evangelical leaders to try to push the immigration bill (S. 744) now before the Senate? Did he? The answer is yes. And no. Yes, Soros is funding the the ad campaign for the group... Read more

Oklahoma Tornado Victims: How to Help in 5 Practical Steps

Last updated on: June 7, 2013 at 6:23 am   By Bill Blankschaen

The Oklahoma tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area on May 20 killing 20 — and adding to the 24 already killed in another F5 tornado nearby just 11 days earlier — shocked us all and brought us to our knees in prayer. I recall our kids got out of the pool immediately when they heard the news and gathered to pray as the unimaginable happened. Many good people are now rightly asking how to help the victims of that colossal... Read more
