This commentary by Roland Martin, a talk show host from here in Chicago, is featured on CNN.com today. I thought it was worth sharing, not just because I agree with his perspective, but because it is getting wide exposure through a media giant like CNN. We need to get more Christian voices like this one out there.Here are some highlights from Martin's commentary:
"When did it come to the point that being a Christian meant caring about only two issues, abortion and homosexuality?"
"Many people believe we are engaged in a holy war. And we are. But it's not with Muslims. The real war -- the silent war -- is being engaged among Christians, and that's what we must set our sights on."
"I've grown tired of people who pimp God."
"If abortion and gay marriage are part of the Christian agenda, I have no issue with that. Those are moral issues that should be of importance to people of the faith, but the agenda should be much, much broader."
