You can`t be evangelical and associate yourself with Jesus and what he says about the poor and just have no other domestic concerns than tax cuts for wealthy people.
When evangelical leaders can persuade the president to be concerned about what`s happening in Sudan, or sex trafficking around the world, or HIV-AIDS, that`s a very good thing. I am completely supportive of that.
What is my calling? What am I supposed to do? I think running for office, public office, can be a divine calling. I mean, I`ve wrestled with that very question myself.
We are prophetic interrogators. Why are so many people hungry? Why are so many people and families in our shelters? Why do we have one of six of our children poor, and one of three of these are children of color? `Why?` is the prophetic question.
