What are these 4 Posts entries? As many days of the week as I have time I look through the RSS feed for the Moderate Christian Blogroll/Aggregator and select four posts on a single topic. Usually the topic is suggested because a post has caught my eye. To call my attention to a post you have written e-mail pubs@energion.com and suggest your post and a general topic heading. Your blog must be a member of the Moderate Christian blogroll, and in general I prefer to include posts within the last week only.

I’m having to look a ways back to get a balance.  I wanted two that would be more or less pro-Republican and two that would be more or less pro-Democratic, but I had some difficulty finding them all.

Levellers – Obama’s Chances of Victory Increase

Dr. Michael Westmoreland-White discusses why he believes Obama should win and will.

if i were a bell i’d ring – To Go Negative or Not to Go Negative…

Tim Ricchuiti wants McCain to pay for going so negative to teach all politicians a lesson.

Joel Gillespie – It’s Time to Fish or Cut Bait

Joel thinks we need to get real.  He also liked John McCain’s idea of suspending the campaign.  (OK, so I gave him an extra link, but it helps balance this post!)

Moral Science Club – Two important articles on Feminism, Hanson and Paglia

On the other hand, is this the actual Democratic position on abortion?

Note: I started this post before really checking, and it turns out there has been less interest in this on the blogroll than I thought. Thus I will have to complete the four with a post that I wrote and one from a group blog to which I’m a major contributor, though written by someone else. I note with interest that I see no outright hostile posts on this topic from the blogroll.

1: Gentle Wisdom – Numerous Posts on the Revival

Peter Kirk has been the most prolific member of the blogroll on this topic. I’m going to link to just one post, A Theological Defense, and let you follow links from there.

2: Kouya Chronicle – What is Success?

Eddie Arthur (I think–it might have been Sue!), asks just how one would measure success in the church. He is not hostile to the revival, but he thinks we need to look at things other than the media image and spectacular things in measuring success.

3: Pacesetters Bible School Newsletter – Todd Bentley’s Angel in Lakeland

Hannah May, an occasional contributor to the Pacesetters Bible School Newsletter contributed Todd Bentley’s Angel in Lakeland.

4: Threads from Henry’s Web – Lakeland Revival Notes

I present my own post Lakeland Revival Notes, because it contains a copy of an e-mail I received from Rev. Perry Dalton who has actually been to Lakeland. Eyewitness reports are quite valuable.

Since all of these vary from neutral to positive, I will note that if anyone has written or does write something negative, I’ll be happy to include links to it for balance. My own view is cautiously positive, so I must be careful not to bias these “four posts” entries.

1: Levellers – National Summit on Torture

In what could as easily be included under the categories of ethics or morality in general, Michael L. Westmoreland-White informs us of a National Summit on Torture. This provides an opportunity not only to talk, but to act.

2: Sub Ratione Dei –

In Hegemony or Survival Sub Ratione Dei looks at Noam Chomsky’s book Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance, which he says ” . . . raise[es] important issues regarding foreign policy and also global survival.”

3: Gentle Wisdom – Cutting out the nonsense about petrol (gas) prices

Proving that the moderate Christian blogroll is not just a U. S. operation, I bring you Cutting out the nonsense about petrol (gas) prices, in which Peter Kirk explains some basic economics and its application to gas (petrol) prices. There are some advantages to these high prices after all.

4: Quiet Paths – Freedom Via OSI

Christine, responding to the poetry prompt, is thinking about freedom and gives us both a poetry and prose version.
