OUT LOUD

NewsReligious Herald  |  August 20, 2008

“Look at the attention I get: It's because I throw a football. But that's what society values. That's not what God values. … He didn't invent the game. We did. I have some eye-hand coordination, and I can throw the ball. I don't think that matters to God.”

Tom Brady

The New England Patriots quarterback was speaking on spirituality and football in Esquire. (RNS)

 OutLoud

“I can see by the language he uses why people think he could be the antichrist, but from my reading of Scripture, he doesn't meet the criteria. There is no indication in the Bible that the antichrist will be an American.”

Tim Lahaye

The Left Behind co-author was speaking to the Boston Globe about whether presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is the antichrist. (RNS)

“If this denomination doesn't get desperate for God's Son and a movement of the Holy Ghost of God in our denomination again, we're in trouble. … Attendance at the recent convention in Indianapolis dropped 20 percent. You can't do that very often and not be in serious trouble.”

SBC President Johnny Hunt

Hunt spoke at a recent NAMB meeting. (RNS)
