OUT LOUD

NewsJim White  |  March 1, 2011

“If we were to absolutely be honest with ourselves, how much time do we actually spend — even in the lives and programming of many of our churches — in teaching anyone … anything substantial about and from the Word of God?”
Albert Mohler
The president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was addressing a recent Bible conference about Christians’ ignorance of the Bible. (ABP)

“It was a matter of attempting to, in essence, marginalize me as a one-dimensional candidate — that I was the token religious candidate, that the only reason I was in the race was to advance my own personal, spiritual agenda, which was ridiculous. I found that insulting.”
Mike Huckabee
The former governor of Arkansas was telling Christianity Today how reporters and others focused on his role as a former pastor during the 2008 presidential campaign. (RNS)

“I miss her terribly, but those people who killed her need to be saved. I pray for them, that God will have mercy on them and help them to know him.”
Sam Davis
The missionary to Mexico was referring to his grief over the killing of his wife when they were ambushed by drug smugglers as they returned from visiting a church. (RNS)
