Great opinion article written by Peggy Noonan in the WSJ today. I have noticed over the years how PC is determined by the liberal media or the left side of the political track. We are constantly being bombarded with a left point of view that is mostly an anti-Christian world view.
Sadly, the power of the media [...]

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Rom 8:1
This is from the A. W. Tozer Daily Devotional for leaders. The devil is a liar and he wants to believe we are still bogged down by our past sins and that we can never measure up to what God wants [...]

In Peggy Noonan’s opinion in the Wall Street Journal this week she asks if we are better off nowadays trying to choose politicians by their religious beliefs.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, “You are acting like people who don’t belong to the Lord.” He said that jealousy shows we are controlled by our own desires and it is a sign of spiritual immaturity. …Ouch…

It is our job as Christ-followers to help change the world by being influencers. We are supposed to influence people towards God through Jesus Christ.
