Completely disagree...She has a great evangelical opportunity to reach the mentally demented...
I love Tim Keller - just discovered his sermons online this year. Wonderful sermons - intelligent, funny, and most importantly, passionate about Christ.
Troubling, to be sure, given how recent the interview is. However, is it reasonable (or Biblical) to expect a new convert to instantaneously change their thinking in all areas, within seconds of their profession of faith in Christ, especially if they are not conversant in the Bible beforehand?
Some people just "pray the prayer" and then they (and others) expect God to automatically change their thinking, avoiding any heavy lifting for themselves. In my experience, God expects us to read His word, and submit to His commands, in order for our thinking to change. Give the lady time and see what comes of her profession of faith.
Wow. Has she changed political affiliations yet? Or is she like Zell Miller...Democrat but conservative...which is the rarest of breeds now?
Praise God for His mercy in moving Kirsten Power’s heart.
Seeing the success of Fox, she's looking to increase he cred among the Clingers.
Intriguing story.
My wife and I love the East Coast, especially New England. But, aside from cost of living with housing/taxes/liberals, it would be so weird to move to a place where the majority aren’t Christian, at least socially.
Here in Texas, a key point of conversation is what church you go to etc. Up there, I would get punched for asking that.
Powers is no doubt correct that where she is, it is a harder road to be a believer.
That’s cool.
There was an article about six months ago on the need for more people doing missions work/church plants in New England due to the difficulty of the work there. Many just don’t want to do it because of fewer (though IMO much more beautiful with their steeples) churches and a much more secular environment.
It’s hard. You have to break through the harder shell of those people instead of just put up a sign and you have 30 people next Sunday.
It’s really very easy to stay Dem as a Christian. They focus on social issues like poverty and think the government should fix those problems. They are wrong, of course, but every Christian I know who is a Dem is also pro-life but focuses on things like helping the poor and think the Dems are better at that despite obviously being wrong.
Don’t fool yourself, KP.
God has been there all along, unlike you and many who claim present but are so far afield , it’d take a Hubble to find ya in the heathenous-filled skies of media today..
Now maybe you ask God to go to work on Mara Laiasson and her hard head and black heart.
I can never understand a Christian who identifies with the democratic party.

I view same-sex marriage as a civil rights issue.

Ya all keep hugging her, folks.
Maybe some blood will get to her brain eventually.
Makes sense. She’s the only Dem on TV with a shred of sanity.
Give her time. She's just beginning her journey.
Dang! I was just wondering what it was about Kristen that DIDN’T MAKE MY SKIN CRAWL like most libs....
“I think that is what she is lamenting here, was that she was no longer able to resist the inevitable.”
“the inevitable” = “irresistible grace”.
