Dr. Adams cites well the moral imperatives delivered within the Presidents address and outlines how we as Christians must expand on these to help our fellow man in fulfilment of our commission.

But only the gospel of Christ can give youth a reality

The gospel of Christ is not metaphysically based in reality, it is based in faith and mysticism.

[Abe Froman]

Is it just me or is it not quite so obvious how spending money taken under coercion for the benefit of others is the "Christian" thing to do? Voluntarily giving help or a job to a convict = Christian compassion. Forcing other people to do the same under threat of imprisonment or fine = something else entirely. Jesus told us to give to the poor, not steal from others and give that to the poor.

Bush is a typical clueless Christian, apparently incapable of connecting Jesus' teaching to social policy.

I'm all for defending our country when it has been attacked. I just can't seem to recall when the Iraqi military, or any agents acting under direction of any Iraqi authority, attacked one of the 50 states or any United States territory. Someone remind me when that took place.

But it is going to take an energized, massive Christian army to help pass a constitutional amendment that will stop the activist judges trying to re-define marriage.

If GWB can't get 60 votes to get a judge ratified, what are we to make of his calling for control of 67 votes in the Senate, two-thirds of the House, and of 3/4 of the state legislatures? If you can't impeach a judge (and not necessarily a justice of the SCotUS) you can't ratify an amendment.

If you impeach a judge, you don't need an amendment, and if you can't inpeach a judge, what would an amendment do even if you could get it? How, exactly, does passing a law or constitutional amendment stop a lawbreaker from breaking laws?

Sorry, I just don't view our President as a spiritual leader.

Good commentary.

"Those of us who are Christians must never seek a permission slip from the politically correct, the pagans, or the American anti-Christs to defend this nation by proclaiming Jesus Christ, “the way, the truth, and the life.”

Worth repeating.
