Responding to Francis Schaeffer’s criticism of Trump

To the editor:

As a Christian, if my choices for president were Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I would vote for Donald Trump any day [“Son of Francis Schaeffer calls out Trump’s evangelical enablers on Twitter”]. He may have a foul mouth, but at least he has some moral base that Mrs. Clinton has not shown. We have watched her from the 1990s and each time she comes up short. Mr. Trump has gotten more done in this past year than most of his predecessors and brought this nation back to becoming great again.

I pray for him every day and I have seen a turnaround in him spiritually. Are you praying for him as you are told to do in the biblical book of Timothy? I notice that you are a Democrat. Not surprising. Weren’t you raised in Switzerland?

Embracing the power of story

What happens when a church in decline decides to embrace the immigrants in its changing neighborhood?

We share a new series in BNG’s Storytelling Projects “Hospitality on the Corner: Gaston Christian Center” as part of our "welcoming the stranger" theme.

A congregation that once had a membership of 7,000 now has only 100. However, on any given week, there are 2,000 people on the campus and five worship services are held. Sundays at Gaston Christian Center in Dallas, TX, teems with the colors and languages of Africa, the Far East, Central America and the Middle East.

Gaston Christian Center: where the colors of the world worship together.

We created Storytelling Projects because we believe stories, rooted in the Jesus Story, have the power not only to inform but to transform people and communities. They can be sources of spiritual insight, imagination, creativity and hope for all who seek justice and mercy.
