Romanian Evangelical Leaders Speech

While in Romania, God gave our group an amazing, and unexpected, opportunity aside from our original purpose to work with orphans, gypsies and the poor.

Why Wasn’t Jesus Political

I’ve thought about this quite a bit recently: why wasn’t Jesus politically involved? Why didn’t Jesus speak out against the social ills of his culture?
