Rob Long on Churches and Hillary Clinton on National Review Online: "and of course, I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth," so said Hillary Clinton in a church interview.
If I didn't know better I might expect to see her sitting in the pew next to me next Sunday. Actually, I would hope to see her there and pray that she might find forgiveness and a real relationship with God. While, I can't sit in judgment of her spiritual life, her actions speak much louder than her words, and her actions have been decidedly contrary to the teachings of Christ. If she is a believer, she is one in much need of discipling.
I suspect that Hillary's words are not words of testimony of a life changed by the love of God, but declaration with one eye (maybe both) towards the 2008 presidential race. Having seen the impact of the Evangelical vote, though I think the impact was not nearly as strong as others may indicate, she is doing some early stumping.
Lessons from the liberal campaign play book, "be all things to all people."
Perhaps she should look instead to the conservative (aka George Bush) playbook, "be real and true to yourself."
But, were that the case I suspect she wouldn't find herself doing a church interview, much less in a church.
