Does this mean that reports of the Tea Party’s death have been greatly exaggerated? I expect the Tea Party will start trying to reach consensus with the free-spending liberals just as soon as Barack Obama offers to compromise just one his leftist principles–which, apparently, is never.

This is what I see when I think about higher education in this country today:

Until the easy money stopped.

Amen and amen. I just hope that before my kids get to college, the bubble will have already burst.

By Vern Sheridan Poythress

In Inerrancy and Worldview, Dr. Vern Poythress offers the first worldview-based defense of scriptural inerrancy, showing how worldview differences create or aggravate most perceived difficulties with the Bible. His positive case for biblical inerrancy implicitly critiques the worldview of theologians like Enns, Sparks, Allert, and McGowan. Poythress, who has researched and published in a variety of fields— including science, linguistics, and sociology—deals skillfully with the challenges presented in each of these disciplines. By directly addressing key examples in each field, Poythress shows that many difficulties can be resolved simply by exposing the influence of modern materialism.

But the most interesting element of the Liberty address was its main argument. Romney claimed that culture is the key to civilizational success — and that American culture is shaped by Jewish and Christian values such as the priority of the individual, personal responsibility and the dignity of work. These values, in turn, are strengthened in religious institutions and traditional families. Agree or disagree, Romney set out a sophisticated case for cultural conservatism: that liberal public institutions depend on virtues and values shaped in conservative social institutions.

I like Gerson’s contrasting Romney’s sophisticated approach with Mr. Obama’s shallow proof-texting.

Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, has two goals in this book. First, he wants evangelicals to stop demonizing Mormons. Second, he wants Mormons to be more Calvinist in their theology.

We believe this approach is Biblical not political. As Hispanic Evangelicals, we stand committed to advancing not the agenda of the donkey or the elephant but only the agenda of the Lamb. The agenda of Christ is one of righteousness and justice, sanctification and service, covenant and community, holiness and humility, conviction and compassion. It is this agenda that provides the moral imperative to defend biblical truth with love and civility.

A fine statement by Rev. Rodriguez. The statement was not the place to add political considerations, but I sincerely and fervently hope that the president’s policy positions on this subject, on religious liberty, and on an intrusive and bankrupting nanny state will cause many Christians who voted for him out of sincere good will in 2008 to re-think their support in the 2012 election.
