All the signs of unraveling scandal can be found at ORU where Richard Roberts has now asked his hand-picked Board of Regents to take a leave of absence. At a school where Roberts' wife is seriously called "the first lady" this is big news.
It is big news with yet more potential political consequences for politics. Another scandal by a major Christian leader in love with Republican politics will cause already disenchanted evangelicals to further evaluate the state of the church and ask hard questions about political involvement.

Kuo,
Found your blog. Was referred by a friend of mine. I believe we attend the same church. I hope to be a regular. Cheers....
for those of us who don't speak in tongues, what is ROFLMAO? or dare I ask?
Canucklehead...its Rolling On the Floor Laughing My A** Off
I didn't fall on the floor laughing but I called my brother and we both had a good laugh. I'll take the slight with the same grains of hilarious salt I do any Leftist perspective. Some of it I must admit makes me hurt with laughter.
For the record: I just encourage people to follow "The faith delivered only once to the saints."
The leadership we should look to is Christ Jesus, Peter, John, James, Jude, Luke and Paul, and those that that do not alter and/or abandon their theological and ideological truths.
And that is why supporting Democrats, Liberals and progressives is a theological impossibility. Just reference any of the above names and what they have to say on Christian activism.
We are not to yoke ourselves with unbelievers. And Jesus and the Aposltles left us a clear guide to who is and who isn't a believer.

I wasn't aware that Christ and the Disciples/later Apostles had formed a political party, Donny.
You learn something new every day ...
