Evangelicals and Mitt Romney
It seems that Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is gaining momentum with Evangelicals. Many are coming to the conclusion that he would be a very capable commander-in-chief. After all, they say, we’re not a pulpit committee voting on our next pastor. One Christian historian told me last week that, from a strictly historical standpoint, “the two worst Presidents we’ve had in the last 30 years have been professed Evangelical Christians: Carter and Bush, Jr.” That comment may remind some of Martin Luther’s words: “I’d rather be governed by a wise turk (non-Christian) than a foolish Christian.” Interesting.
Regardless of where you stand concerning Romney, this little article will at least keep you abreast of the current conversation.
