Is there a better place to pray than over our political leaders? If not a Christian leader who would have been a better choice to lead our nation in prayer? We Christians do have a message to share. And our leaders so need to be reminded of that message.

So you aren't saying anything about the Republicans. dude your sad
-
Dan: thanks for posting this. It amazes me that many well-meaning Christians I've met have still never heard of Donald Miller. I mentioned that Miller is possibly the most influential Christian author from the past decade over supper with a friend who said he had never heard of him. Later I learned that my friend's son gave him a copy of Blue Like Jazz which he is waiting to read. I guess Miller's written works overshadow his own self. What an amazing concept.

What an amazing opportunity God gave to Don to prayer over these national leaders! I enjoyed the prayer!
-
Personally...I think you all should be grateful that there is a prayer before the proceedings. You have no idea how previlaged to even have a government that wants to pray. And here you are bickering if Don should endorse or now. Be thankful you leaders praying and allowing people to pray for God's hand. Nick - South Africa

well that is because you are a smart thinking individual. i think we as human beings get very legalistic about stuff (we love doing stuff to appease our guilt that's why following Jesus is such a challenge--balancing freedom from law yet being holy and set apart) and as a result i imagined people watching don do this prayer and then rushing out and thinking wow obama must be sent straight from God--whereas the reality is NO politican of ANY party would be such.

somebody's jealous lol

Danahanson1, i agree with what you are saying. I didn't see the DNC prayer until just a few seconds ago. I didn't know exactly who Don Miller was back when the DNC happened. I had just finished reading "Blue like Jazz", which I enjoyed very much and decided to search his name on Youtube only to find that he had endorsed a political party. I suppose that he is extremely influential, thus an endorsement needs not to be made. This endorsement is sad. (I am not Republican)
-
I agree with u man, I'm sick of it. I used to be full fledged GOP until I realized that most of the crap that they stand for is not Christian in nature anyway. The GOP plays the abortion card to win Christian votes, I have fallen prey to it as well.
-
your totally wrong, this act shows the Democrats that Christians aren't all Republicans. Everyone always assumes that Christians are narrow minded right wing nuts. Millers stand here gives a witness that we are NOT all right wing nuts.

I think its pretty obvious your argument is not rooted in fact but is rooted in opinion. The fact is, Don didn't do anything but pray. it's a matter of where he prayed obviously. If anything his prayer reached more would be Christians and it doesn't matter where he did it.

Is this compromised in any way by having too strong of a public witness towards a specific party, in particular at the most partisan event? Is 'perception reality?' Miller is not being "left" and McPherson is not being "right" -quite the contrary, they seem connectors. Could they be an even greater influence of blessing in the lives of people who think very differently than they do, and lead others to grow to be such an influence, without the emphasis, real or perceived, of partisan politics?

After all, party officials and candidates will hear their voices, even if they decline invitations to appear at such partisan venues. Their prominence and influence are the very reason they were invited to appear at the respective conventions in the first place. If they were only there to get more votes for the party, then all these comments have been compromised, from a mission perspective.
The fact/ opinion dichotomy doesn't exist in any of this. It is all opinion by everyone.
