When we try to play the X-factor judges on what grounds do we assess?
Our own level of media-info, other influences, others' opinions, our own life-stories and biases, our hopeful or critical hearts?
Miroslav Volf (a very good man) quotes President Obama and ends with a short impression.
"I have fallen on my knees with great regularity since that moment (after visiting Billy Graham)-- asking God for guidance not just in my personal life and my Christian walk, but in the life of this nation and in the values that hold us together and keep us strong"
Miroslav Volf continues: !(President Obama, speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday – 3 February 2012). Listening to this, some in the audience were cynical, but most, like me, were moved."
If you were in that audience………?
