My take on what we learn from the blog is that we Christians need to be humble. I have no problem being humble and friendly toward my homosexual neighbors who are not Christians, but I do have a problem with being humble toward people like Tony Campolo, and others who are the "Social Justice" Christians. I pray that I will not lash out at those who support gay marriage and abortion and say they trust in Jesus. I resolve to pray for them and let the Lord deal with them. Others may be able to argue with them and convince them of their error. Finally made it through the blog and the comments.

Here is my input: Do you have any ideas that would convince the social justice Christians that the middle class was better off with Reagan as President?

There I'm referring to the constant complaints about the immorality of the half-time show and the commercials as an indication of the country's near demise and insensitivity to Christians. No one was actually speaking out against Christians that I'm aware of. But some Christians seem to see anti-Christian sentiment and persecution in everything from super bowl entertainment to things that do rank as prejudice like uninviting Giglio. I hope that helps.

Actually, I <i>completely</i> agree with you. There's nothing in the country that's happening that we can call "persecution" by any historical, biblical or contemporary standards. That's why I the article repeatedly says "some evangelicals feel" this way and "if any persecution comes." And why I end the article by saying that the "cries" of persecution are actually the echo of privilege, not any strong persecution as such. Perhaps I was too subtle in tone??? Not something I'm accused of often :-). Or perhaps you'll hear it differently if you re-read it with these things in mind??? In either case, thank you for contributing. Grace to you, T- Hi Malacca,
