The Election
Do People Really Vote with Their Wallets? The New Moral Majority and the 2012 Election
Michael Kruger (of Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC) with a very insightful perspective (in my opinion):
“The reality is that America has changed drastically since the 1990’s. It’s hard to believe that the Defense of Marriage act was signed by Clinton in 1996 and supported by the vast majority of Congress. Such a thing is unthinkable today. There is a new moral majority. And it is decidedly on the left.”

Graham is reacting to the victory of same-sex marriage initiatives. His reaction fits in with Michael Kruger’s thesis in the article linked above.

France to Become 12th Country to Legalize Gay Marriage
French Socialists Call for ‘Assisted Procreation’ for Homosexuals

And now for something edifying:
Professor Grant Horner’s Bible-Reading SYSTEM
I recommend regular Bible reading. I am sure most pastors do. There are many different reading plans available. A friend recommended this one recently. It requires about an hour a day on average. If you committed to it, you would find an incredible increase in Bible comprehension.
While on the topic of Bible reading, here is a chronological Bible reading schedule we developed at Grace Baptist Church of Victoria. It also requires a time commitment, but will help you gain an understanding of the content of the Bible in its chronological development.
