Jim Wallis is the founder of Sojourners.

I particularly like his point about the DEM's politicalization of religion by their obligatory photo ops at black churches and singing with Sunday gospel choirs.

He really hit it out of the ball park with that one.

OOPS... I guess he forgot to say that!

[Coldwater Creek]

Unfortunately, Ole Wallis is more right than he knows about the churches leaning to the left.

My own church, the cornerstone of the So. Baptist Convention is teetering on a fall into Warren ism.

Overlooking sin seems to be the catch of the day!

People that I have known for years and years, and had great spirtual respect for are now doing everything that they can to destroy Evangelical truth.

Here's an interesting article which gives a good perspective on Wallis and others preaching this same message.

"...and a more moderate Islam is growing;..."

Some people should just be slapped because they are so stupid. Mr. Wallis also mentions the glowing success of South Africa. *as anyone can plainly see*

Jim Wallis is part of the "Religious Left", an oxymoron if ever there was one.

[George W. Bush]

The liberal Emergent Church nonsense is taking a toll on formerly sound churches.

liberal Emergent Church=political liberals.

[Wallace T.]

Sojourners is little more than a Marxist organization with a pseudo-Christian veneer. Evangelicals should never fool themselves. Marxists have had as a goal the penetration of religious organizations, and even before the rise of Communism in Russia, theological liberalism was on the ascent, first in France and Germany, and then in the United States through the Harvard and Yale divinity schools and the Union Theological Seminary. If these people can penetrate the mainline Protestant denominations and Roman Catholicism to the point that the National Council of Churches and the American Conference of Catholic Bishops make political pronouncements that sound the collected wisdom of liberal politicians like Dennis Kucinich or Barack Obama in backward turned collars, rest assured they will do the same among evangelicals.

It's not just the fringe of evangelicalism like the Sojourners or Tony Campolo (a Northern Baptist "spiritual adviser" to Slick Willie). Leaders like Rick Warren, who reputedly has become a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the establishment's "good ol' boys" club, have endorsed environmentalism and weakened doctrine in favor of "seeker sensitivity" or some such nonsense. Billy Graham, who should know better, excused Clinton's sexual misdeeds with something like "boys will be boys."

Make no mistake. Evangelical and fundamentalist Christians are the population group those people who would turn our nation into, at best, a socialist, Western European nation or, at worst, a corrupt Third World narco-oligarchy, need to neutralize and suppress. Even here on FR, the mere mention of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, James Dobson, and others bring out the RINO and evolutionist haters who seem to despise these Christians more than liberals. Beware of the enemy within.

If TIME was honest, the graphic they chose to accompany their article propaganda should have been...

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Gramsci strikes again! BUT it's just a Flesh wound--False Prophecy and projection.

"As evil did increase, so much more does GRACE increase."

God is yet sovereign, righteousness is yet right and evil will be in God's time be forever overpowered. Psalm 1, 2 and 3. www.Biblegateway.com

If these people weren't DESPERATELY fearful of God's power, why would they be obsessive-compulsive to the point of establishing ACLU/PFAW organizations to purge and censor the Bible and prayer? Pathetic. Pathological. Those who stand on truth have already won the spiritual victory--after that, the physical territory victory is a matter of time. It is a battle for the MIND and SOUL.

[Spiff]

Ha! The joke is on all of the anti-religious people. They're going to go from disliking the followers of Christ, to hating them and shunning them, to outright persecuting them and worse. But I've read the end of the book and I know who wins. Hint: it's not the anti-Christ.

[sergeantdave]

Better headline -

"Communists Infiltrate Churches"

subhead -

"Search on for useful idiots"

[metalurgist]

Jim Wallis is a leftist asshole.

President of the SDS while in college. Activist for "SOCIAL JUSTICE".

His other titles should be USEFUL IDIOT, COMMUNIST, STUPID TOOL.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

This makes as much sense as when after the 2004 elections, there were those on FR claiming the Democrat party was dead.

[chesley]

He must be joking. No, lying, actually.

Just another liberal "Christian"

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

ping for later

[tioga]

.....so God has spoken and jim is informing the masses in this book?

[MountainPete]

Egad! Where's the "Barf Alert?!"

...engaging issues like poverty and economic justice, global warming, HIV/AIDS, sex trafficking...

Ahh, now there's the real "religious left!

[Earthdweller]

"In politics, we are beginning to see a leveling of the playing field between the two parties on religion and "moral values," and the media are finally beginning to cover the many and diverse voices of faith."

Never could have been a bigger load of bunk. The Dems are 50% seething atheist militants that want to bring down all faiths starting with the Christians first of course.

[TommyDale]

Jim Wallis is a heretic, a liberal left leaning socialist. His "Sojourners" are proof. If you want to remain credible, don't quote this guy as an Evangelical.
