Well, we made it to Election Day -- time to pack up the ol' Truth and Civility campaign until the next election

Take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.

But rarely in the course of church history have differences among Christians been so exploited and manipulated for political gain by those outside the church as is the case today.
