Focus on the Epicenter

Here are two thought-provoking articles for your reflection as we enter times of national political change and global unrest:

1. Dr. James Dobson's current newsletter from Focus Action.
2. The Introduction and Chapter 1 of Joel Rosenberg's recent book, Epicenter.

Both are dense but well worth the read.

Abortion 2008

MSNBC and Newsweek have both run very interesting articles on the relationship between the abortion issue and the candidates in this year's upcoming presidential election. Click on the following links to read each article:

MSNBC - How McCain, Obama will change abortion policy
Newsweek - ProLife Catholics For Obama

Faith and Elections

His Branches does not endorse specific candidates in the electoral process or exercise strong political advocacy, preferring rather to demonstrate Christ's love through community-building and relationship-restoring acts of kindness and service. Along with the Pew Foundation and many others, however, we do believe that people of faith should exercise wisdom and discernment at the polls. In this regard, the online Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life is a well-researched resource for the upcoming elections. Please click on their logo, above, and visit their site periodically in the weeks to come as you prepare to enter the voting booth.

IFA Candidate Comparison

Intercessors for America has also prepared a thorough one-page comparison of the stands of both major candidates for President, which is available here as a PDF file for review and duplication.
