And in many cases this happened in the face of opposition by the rulers.<br><br>The irony is that the majority opinion of evangelicals concerning the Ten Commandments it that it is Old Testament and not New Testament. It is law and we are under grace. And various other expressions of practical Macionism. Look at some of the comments on the Sabbath that have been posted in the past on The Highway.<br><br>Why should we insist on the public display of the Ten Commandments in government buildings when we don't do that in our churches?<br><br>There was a big controversy a couple of years ago in the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) when the incoming president made a statement along the line of there being too much politics and not enough gospel in Christian broadcasting. He immediately came under fire from a number of "heavywieghts" and ended up resigning.<br><br>I look at the titles of the programs in the One Place archive for a nationally known PCA minister and come away shaking my head thinking... What is the difference between Sloan Coffin and X. Well Sloan Coffin preached a liberal left-wing social gospel and X preaches a conservative right-wing social gospel. (There are any number of names that can be substituted for X from across the "evangelical" spectrum.)
