Blaming and Sympathizing with Groups
Byhenry June 14, 2016
I didn’t want to comment on the murder of 49 people in Orlando, not because I don’t sympathize with the victims or condemn the killing, but because I dislike getting tangled up in politics on this blog. If a Christian commits an illegal act, we often separate him (or her) from “our” Christianity, or even…

Public Financing, Integrity, and Mixed Emotions
Byhenry June 19, 2008

Byhenry June 30, 2008
There have been a number of articles on the book, the rallies, and the fact that evangelicals may no longer be a lock for either major party.

Dutch Sheets and Dominionism
Byhenry February 20, 2012
I have previously written about the term “dominionism,” one which I don’t find very helpful as a label for a political position. So I was very interested to hear Dutch Sheets, one of those called (by some) a dominionist, make reference to the term. I was invited as a Christian leader to hear Dutch Sheets…
