MONDAY MUSINGS: Part Two

Too many musings to limit myself to one post today. Check out:

• Stephen Mansfield in USAToday on "The New Evangelicals." One observation regarding their political loyalties: "The new evangelical prays for all four nominees but commits unreservedly to none, choosing rather to speak of righteousness to each in the hopes of something more than a mere political victory in November."

• Internet Monk on how the stock of evangelicalism is way over-valued. A couple of his reasons:
  

• Evangelicalism is overvalued because its politically useful. (If I read another email telling me Sarah Palin is Esther I’m going to put a drumstick through my eye.)

• Evangelicalism is overvalued because it has too much music and too little Bible.

• Evangelicalism is overvalued because it constantly claims evidence that God is working through it to change the world, but the evidence in those places dominated by evangelicalism isn’t very convincing.
