Welcome!

I created this blog because I felt it was important to express a viewpoint that I believe is sorely lacking in today's society: the viewpoint of a born-again Christian fundamentalist who is also a political progressive.

Don't get me wrong, I realize that there are many self-identifying Christians who are very liberal, politically and/or theologically. Yet all of the people that fall into this category who I know personally happen to hold to a doctrine that is relatively liberal. They do not typically believe in the inerrancy of the God-breathed Word, eschatology as expressed by Revelation or even the true divinity of Christ.

I believe in the Bible, and I attend a conservative, Bible-teaching church. Yet I also believe that it is much more important to help the poor than to demonize gay folks. My views on abortion are currently undecided (I was once very solidly pro-choice), but I know that regardless, we are to submit to worldly authority and do our best to endure all manner of oppression in good cheer so that we can preserve our testimony and be effective witnesses, all while keeping our minds on Kingdom things. And I believe that although God will judge sinners after death, we should try to be loving toward them while they are still alive.

Christ taught us to love the least among us. I find that attitude to be sadly lacking among many in today's world.
