Why Republicans Will Never Win Big Again


I was born during the Carter administration when America's moral was at it's lowest, but remember my childhood during the Reagan years. I grew up believing America was good and descent and that we had a bright future ahead of us. My teen years were lived out during the Clinton years where I figured out that the moral conscience of America had been very corrupted, but there was hope if we could get another Reagan in office again. We thought Bush was that guy. I spent most of my adult years under the Bush Administration that left me disillusioned because a clever politician was able to play us Christians for fools by saying that Jesus was his favorite philosopher and we fell for it. I'm not sure if Bush 43 is really Evangelical or not, but I know that he spent more money than any other Democrat president before him and with his optimistic naive idealism, he got us involved in two wars in Muslim countries thinking that those people were actually capable of self-governing under a free democratic society.

Now, we have a president with worse moral convictions than Carter and worse economic record than Carter and Americans vote to keep him for four more years. I thought that Americans were more motivated by their pocketbooks than anything else, I guess I was wrong. How does a country that has suffered under 12 years of liberal fiscal policies (that includes the Bush years too) vote for four more of them when our economy is on the brink of collapse and total ruin?  Continue at Reforming Baptist

A New Era: Where Christians Are a Cultural Minority?

For clarity, I am speaking in this post of biblically-based, gospel-founded Christianity, not cultural Christianity or Christendom.  A friend mentioned the other day that there were 4 billion “Christians” on earth. Not sure where that statistic comes from, but does any of us really believe that there are 4 billion “born-again” Christians – those who have repented of their sins and trusted Jesus Christ alone (and consciously) for their salvation.

I grew up in a Christianized, Christian-centric, Christian-sympathetic world. I have heard arguments on both sides, but I do not believe that the US was ever a “Christian Nation” It was one that saw itself as responsible to God and was Christian enough that people could make the argument that we were a Christian nation, though.

Such is no longer true.

We who believe the Bible to be the perfect word of God are entering a new era in this nation. Gone (or rapidly going) are the days in which our nation shared, in the main, our values. In my college years, a controversial organization formed called the Moral Majority. It was based on the premise that there was in America a majority of people who shared our values.

Such is no longer true.  Continue at Dave Miller
