I absolutely agree with you about Christian compassion and I'm looking at the Charisma website right now. I do like World Magazine, and Christianity Today does still have a lot of good articles--- I especially like the Books and Culture book review they put out.
Unfortunately Rick Warren and other leaders (Richard Cizik, quoted below, seems the worst in this story, but that's probably becuase it doesn't quote Jim Wallis)seem to have more faith than you and I in the government's size being a good thing:
Are evangelicals concerned that they're putting too much faith in government? "You know," Mr. Cizik told me, "I don't hear that very often. I don't think that's a huge concern among most people. I think they're enthusiastic about the progress we're making."
Aaaaargh.
Sigh.
Welll, we knew the end times were going to be interesting with lots of supposedly kosher people ending up on the wrong side of things.
Thanks
