EVENTFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0BE ALERT<\/a>: Yes, my friends, the terrorism threat remains, and it is real.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0THE TRUTH IS REVEALED: Nancy Pelosi is an oil and gas giant<\/a>. \u00a0So was her promise that this would be \u201cthe most honest, the most open, the most ethical Congress in history\u201d just hot air<\/a>?<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0PURELY COINCIDENTAL: Shortly after polling data reveals that many Americans doubt the sincerity of Obama\u2019s professions of Christian faith, or at least do not recognize Obama\u2019s Christianity as historic Christianity, Obama and family go for the first time from the White House to church, and Obama opens up about the experiences that led him to faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0 THE NEW YORK TIMES<\/a>: \u201cWhile the Right has traditionally responded to its aggrieved sense of alienation with anger, Beck is not particularly angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0 CONSEQUENTLY<\/a>: Distrust in American media reaches an all-time high.<\/p>\n

THOUGHTFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0ILL\/INFORMED?<\/a> The Pew Forum releases a slew of data on Americans\u2019 knowledge of religions.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0 EAT THE RICH<\/a>: John Stossel on the perils of \u201ctaxing the rich.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0 BABYLON ON THE POTOMAC<\/a>: I think Michael Gerson irritates most constituencies from time to time, because he has that peculiar habit of thinking for himself. \u00a0But when he\u2019s right, you\u2019re glad he\u2019s on your side \u2014 at least on this issue.<\/p>\n

FAITHFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0AROUND THE \u2018WORLD\u2019: A crackdown on Afghan Christians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0WORLD COMES TOGETHER: Lausanne III<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0 NO SHOCKER<\/a>: Why Protestants don\u2019t know more about other religions.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0 WISH MORE PASTORS WOULD READ THIS<\/a>: The stats on evangelicals are not as bad as you\u2019ve been led to believe (thanks Barna!).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
