"I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Oslo, Norway, December 10, 1964.

Pat Robertson - I don't know what our doctrine on assassination is (can you have a doctrine on that?), but if he thinks we are trying to assassinate him, maybe we just should...
I think that is fairly clear...
1 Timothy 3:1-3: The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
Could you imagine if Christian leaders actually took this to heart?
Revolutionary!
I can only imagine what an impact on our culture the church would have if more people read the Bible. We're so consumed by tradition, self-help, CGM, polictics etc. that we're no good to anyone.
