‘Discipled’ by Cable

“I do think the challenge is a lot of people are being discipled — or spiritually shaped — by their cable news choices. Ultimately, evangelicals need to be known what they are for rather than what they’re against. And showing and sharing the love of Jesus sure seems like a better thing to hitch ourselves to long-term as evangelical Christians. ”

• Editorial Comment: Note: “Finding grace” doesn't mean Nancy Grace.
