Forty-two percent of Americans described themselves as Evangelical Christians in a Gallup poll in April.

When Gallup defined three measures that were required to qualify as an Evangelical Christian, 22 percent said they met all three measures in a Gallup survey in May.

The National Association of Evangelicals says about 25 percent of adult Americans are evangelicals.

It kind of reminds you of the parable of the Sower,doesn't it?

The Mad Dog is in trouble. Democrat leaders, including Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel are upset about Howard Dean’s management of the Democratic National Committee. Dean appears to have spent most of the committee’s cash, leaving little to support election efforts for the mid-term elections.

The DNC has just $5.5 million banked to spend in the elections. The Republican National Committee, in contrast, has $34 million.

Hey, he's a Liberal; he's supposed to spend money!

Church membership either turns you into a servant, or proves to you that you’re not one. Mark Dever

Dr. Mohler, if you're out there, I suggest you lead with this:

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." Jesus - John 6:44

Mark it down! June 12 is the day. Mohler and Patterson discuss election. The 2006 Southern Baptist Pastor's Conference will have this as the first break out session:

Monday Morning, June 12 - Breakout sessions at the convention hotel (Sheraton Four Seasons). We will have three one-hour blocks of breakout sessions, with several options offered during each block:

Reaching Today's World Through Differing Views of Election: Al Mohler, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Paige Patterson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Whoop - there it is!

This conference sounds really great. It is called "Together For The Gospel". It will be in Louisville, Kentucky, in April. Speakers will be Al Mohler, Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney, John MacArthur, John Piper, and R.C. Sproul.

What a line up. It should be powerful. Maybe the will do a live video feed on Dr. Mohler's blog.

Dr. Mohler has a good post today tracking the history of Arafat, terrorism and the Palestinians.
