Breakfast Links: Cultural Christianity; Virginity and Voting; When Leadership Fails

Last updated on: October 28, 2012 at 11:50 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

BREAKFAST LINKS: Tim Dalrymple, Patheos: “They do not witness Christ. What they present is a watered-down, compromised, milquetoast Christianity. In other words, what they offer is NOT Christianity, and it tarnishes the name of the church and misleads many.” Matthew Sheffield, newsbusters.org: New Obama Add Likens Voting for Him to Losing Virginity Philip Jenkins, Patheos: “Bearing patriotic banners – some demanded “Justice for Chris” – several thousands marched against the well-armed stronghold of Ansar al-Sharia, the militia believed responsible for...

The Welcome Demise of “Cultural” Christianity

Last updated on: October 26, 2012 at 2:13 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

This point has made by others in other ways, but I don’t think anyone has put it as clearly and compellingly as Ed Stetzer: Christianity in America isn’t dying, cultural Christianity is. I am glad to see it go. In other words, while devout and practicing Christians of all stripes are largely remaining devout and practicing Christians, those who partook in cultural Christianity (and may have done so for its social benefits) are no longer finding it necessary or desirable...

A Christian Vision for Kingdom Politics: Immanentize the Eschaton!

Last updated on: October 26, 2012 at 1:23 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

Rather than seek to Christianize the state and use it to restore a Christian social consensus, believing citizens should call the state to its true purpose—to serve justice, and by extension, the kingdom of God. This is Christians’ role in politics, and their service, both to the Lord and to their fellow man. Read more

Persuade this Uncommitted Voter

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 7:20 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

If you’re like me, you already know the candidate for whom you will vote. You also want to do what’s reasonably within your power to help place (or keep) the right man behind the Resolute desk — but you don’t have a whole lot of interaction with uncommitted voters. Well, here’s your chance. A friend of mine approached me with an idea. “I haven’t decided whom to vote for,” he said, “and I’m wondering if you might post something inviting... Read more

Why Evangelicals Should Defend Mormons from Mockery, Part 1

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 2:27 pm By Timothy Dalrymple

At a recent meeting of the Faith Angle Forum, Richard Mouw of Fuller Seminary, one of the elder statesmen of American evangelicalism, told a story of attending a series of talks in the 1950s by Walter Martin, a famous counter-cult apologist. In the fourth lecture, Martin spoke of Mormonism. Mouw recalls: We knew that there were a lot of Mormons there because they came and filled the first two rows…And Walter Martin did his very harsh attack on Mormonism. Later... Read more

Dalrymple’s Rules of Debate Interpretation

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 10:19 am By Timothy Dalrymple

Here for your enjoyment are Dalrymple’s Rules of Debate Interpretation. 1. Television pundits, in the immediate aftermath of the debate, are the worst possible guides to understanding the debate and how it will shape the electoral landscape. It’s just another spin room, except the allegiances and antipathies, the man-crushes and job tryouts are concealed. 2. Anyone who said that a candidate’s speech sent “a thrill up my leg” should be forever disqualified from post-debate analysis. 3. Whichever side rushes to... Read more

Our forgiveness must commence regardless of the other.” Elizabeth Scalia: “The attack went on for hours. Why didn’t/couldn’t our military go in? Was it for the same reason that no military was there to protect them in the first place, that the Obama administration did not want the appearance of a military presence?
