OUT LOUD

NewsJim White  |  March 15, 2010

“I beg you, look for the words ‘social justice’ or ‘economic justice’ on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes.”
Glenn Beck
The Fox News pundit was speaking on his regularly televised program. (RNS)

“We don’t want you to silence your cell phones. We want you in this room to be connectd to everything that’s happening in the world.”
Tony Jones
The Christian writer and speaker was addressing participants at “Theology after Google,” a conference on religion in the Web age sponsored by Claremont School of Theology. (Los Angeles Times)

“Everyone is saying, ‘We need a Great Commission Resurgence.’ But the voices continue, ‘But don’t touch the state conventions, don’t change our SBC entities, don’t think about tweaking the Cooperative Program.’ It doesn’t leave much room for making changes that can bring us back to become a spiritually vital, efficiently focused, cutting edge entity for reaching a lost world if most of what we do is off limits.”
Jerry Rankin
The president of the International Mission Board was writing on his blog, rankinconnecting.com.
