Dear President-elect Obama,

By Richard Land

Nov 5, 2008

First, congratulations on your successful campaign to become the 44th President of our beloved United States of America. This was a historic election in terms of the massive increase in voter participation as a percentage of the electorate.

I hope you know that there are tens of millions of Americans who did not vote for you who are still very, very pleased that an African-American has been elected President of the United States.

The fact that this could happen in a country with as tragic a racial past as America’s says… Read Full Article

Obama: Born-Alive Infant Protection Act

After Rick Warren’s Saddleback Presidential Forum, Barack Obama was interview by a reporter where Obama accused the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) of lying about a claim that he did not support legislation that would give babies who survive an abortion the right-to-life. So who’s telling the truth, Obama or the NRLC?

The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission’s Richard Land sorts it out on his radio program, Richard Land Live! In the program, Land reports that even though “Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has claimed since 2004 that he… Read Full Article

Discombobulated with Election 2008?

October 7, 2008

by Jimmy Porter

Are you discombobulated?  Recently I used that word in a sentence and my friend asked, “Are you sure that is a word or is it one you made up?” Discombobulated is a fifteen letter, six syllable word that means confused and/or upset.  It is possible that you are or soon will be discombobulated.  With a heated Presidential Election on the horizon and the state of our economy, it is easy to be upset and confused. 

Recently the stock market has fallen like “Humpty Dumpty,” and I am not… Read Full Article

Legal Dos & Don’ts for Pastors and Churches

Today’s world all to often tells Christians they have to leave their biblical beliefs and convictions at the door step before entering into an exchange of ideas on politics.  Those opposed to Christianity frequently cry “separation of church and state” as a fear tactic to keep Christians from speaking on issues, but the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives U.S. citizens the right to exercise and express their religious belief. 

Churches that have 501(c)(3) status do need to keep in mind that there are IRS regulations on what activity pastors and churches may participate in without losing… Read Full Article

Rick Warren hosts presidential forum Sat. night

Pastor Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback church in California, will be interviewing McCain and Obama tomorrow night (8/16). 

Warren says “[t]he leader who says, ‘I’m going to take my worldview and just put it on the shelf when I make decisions,’ is either an idiot or they’re lying, because you can’t do it . . . [a]ll of your decisions are based on what you value, what you believe in life. And so I think it’s important to find out what these guys really believe.”

2008 Presidential Candidates: On Abortion

Rob Chambers

Not much has been said about abortion on the campaign trail lately, but as election time draws nearer, each candidate will increasingly seek disparity on many issues.  Abortion is one of those issues.  Lately, McCain has been more verbal on his abortion views, whereas Obama has been less so.  When Obama has spoken to the issue of abortion, it has mainly been in the presence of pro-abortion advocates like NARAL and Planned Parenthood who both support Obama because of his pro-choice position.  (By the way, the SBC passed a resolution at the 2008 SBC convention… Read Full Article
