The Saddleback Church Civil Forum was revealing. It showed the world what these two men are really about. In this forum, truth was revealed. You saw a statesmen with a world of experience. You saw two men wanting to be president, but only one with the experience needed to fill the position.
Why do I say this?
Let’s look at the issues talked about in the Civil Forum.
Abortion: John McCain is pro-life. He told us life begins at conception. That’s one area where John McCain has been conservative. Barak Obama stammered around having a difficult time talking about his pro-abortion stance that he calls pro-choice.
Federal funding of Faith Based Organizations: McCain says faith based groups are more equipped to help the poor and needy. He says the government should help with no strings. Obama says faith based groups need to be careful that they don’t discriminate with federal funds. In other words, churches would be required to follow federal guidelines — unable to proselytize and hire individuals that share their faith.
Moral Failings: McCain was open about his moral failing — the failure of his first marriage. He sounded dejected, but open about that. However, Obama said the only moral failing he had was that he was selfish.
It was clear from my perspective that one man was ready to be president — the other is just doing the right things and saying the right things to get elected.
How does this relate to Christian radio? It relates because Christian radio should have overwhelmingly aired this two hour political event. I know Moody Radio air the Civil Forum from Saddleback, but how many others did the same? I’m guessing most music stations didn’t air the forum.
My question is — when do music radio stations take ‘the leap’ and do something just because it’s the right thing to do?
What do you think?
