christian religious media
Some labeled Jerry Falwell an American version of the Ayatollah Khomeni. People for the American Way, a group organized to counter the Moral Majority, launched a slick media campaign attaching the Nazi slur to the religious right.
christian religious roots
That Solidarity was a religious movement no one, least of all the Soviets, can deny. In November 1981, Pravda denounced 'religious fanaticism' as a grave challenge to socialism; failure to contain it, Pravda said, was at the root of the problems in Poland.
stories next firsts
The first 20 stories written about a public figure set the tone for the next 2,000 and it is almost impossible to reverse it.
christian cities people
It's part of the buzz of the city among Christians. It wouldn't surprise me that it got to George Bush. He reads, he picks stuff up, he talks to people. And he's pretty serious about his own Christian beliefs.
grandmother walks my-own
I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.
safe foundation problem
The problem is that relativism provides no sure foundation for a safe and orderly society.
real giving justice
It would take a God with equal measures of truth, love, and justice to [give us a metanarrative]. Since I had abandoned that faith in God and considered myself secular, that wasn't a real option for me.

The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
eye past self
Repentance is replete with radical implications for a fundamental change of mind not only turns us from the sinful past, but also transforms our life plan, ethics, and actions as we begin to see the world through God's eyes rather than ours. That kind of transformation requires the ultimate surrender of self.
understanding culture dominion
I was deepening my understanding of what we call the cultural commission, the command to take dominion and bring righteousness to our culture.
running reality thinking
We Americans think we enjoy self-government. We have all the trappings of self-government, like elections. But in reality, we have gradually lost many of our rights to govern ourselves. We have the form of self-government, but only some of the substance. We are, in a sense, a nation run by a handful of judges who often enforce, not the law, but their personal opinions.
people church doe
The church does not draw people in; it sends them out.
order people changed
Some say society must change in order to change people. No, people must be changed in order to change society.
