There is a lot of news coming across the wire this week regarding religion, politics and the moral decline of our society. Oh joy!

I believe that these articles touch on each category that I mentioned before, but you can be the judge of where they best fit. Here they are.

  1. Glouster Pregnancies
  2. Tis better to drink your whole life than start after legal age...
  3. Porn in the Palm of your Hand
  4. The Elder Examples
  5. Multiple Paths to Eternal Life

The heading of my post ties to the 5th article in the list of TIME articles this past week. For Christians, this article may or may not be a mass importance. I argue that attention to these stats and trends in our society is of great importance.

Trends and stats listed in this article, which essentially say that over 50% of evangelical christians believe there are other ways to eternal life separate from Christ, are represented in the Democratic Nominee for President. I do not point to Barack to bad mouth him, but in my opinion he is the most noticable and popular figure espousing these beliefs. You can go here to read an interiew with Barack Obama about his views of Chrisianity today.

Reading his views of religion is not for the purpose of voting or not voting for him, but to more adequately understand the desire of our society for universalism. No longer is there one Truth. Barack Obama is the picture of our culture and where we (the American people) want to be as a culture.

My prayer is that I continue to rely on God, seek His Holy Spirit and respond as He would have me respond. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
