Quote of the Week – Mark Galli on the “Evangelical Collapse”

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Andrew J. Nicewander| 35 Comments

What I will do, to my dying day, is work with anyone who knows he was lost but now is found, whose Bible is worn because she repeatedly looks there for God to speak, who finds the Cross the most meaningful of symbols, for whom the Resurrection is not just a doctrine but a power, and who wants nothing more than to find new and creative ways to share the evangel of Jesus in word and deed. I’ll work with these people no matter what scholars decide to call them.

For now they are called evangelicals, and I suspect that in one form or another, they’ll be around for some time.

Quote of the Week – Mark Galli on Pastors and the Election Season

Posted on October 9, 2008 by Andrew J. Nicewander| 238 Comments

Pastors are right about this much: The election season is a unique moment in a church’s life, but not because the pastor has the chance to lobby for his candidate. No, the Christian preacher has the unparalleled opportunity to act as the only sane person in a nation mad for power, the only voice in an ephemeral season filled with lies and half-lies to speak abiding truths — that elections (even “the most important in a generation”) come and go, that princes (even “the most gifted in a lifetime”) appear and pass away, that nations (even “the greatest in history”) rise and fall.
