Hello everyone,
I am so excited to tell you about a special panel discussion I have put together which will air live tomorrow from Noon - 1:00 pm on the station. For everyone outside the Peoria area just log on to our website www.wvel.com and click on "listen now".
The panel is comprised of four area pastors who have bravely agreed to come on and discuss this "taboo" subject. Believe me, I received plenty of rejections but I believe we have a balanced group and each of them have strong opinions that they do not mind sharing.
The phone lines will be open for listeners to participate. Phone numbers to call are: 309-673-1140 or toll free at 888-673-1011. I just ask that if you call please keep in mind that we are not endorsing any particular candidate, but looking at the political process as a whole from a Biblical/Christian perspective.
Just to give you an idea of what to expect our topics and questions will include the following:
- We'll take a look at scriptural references to politics in the Bible.
- Do you feel a Christian should look at where candidates stand on certain moral issues such as abortion and gay marriage when deciding who gets your vote?
- What do you think of clergy who run for political office and would you?
- Do you think the church is a place for political discussion?
- Would you invite candidates to your church to speak?
- How important is the evangelical/fundamentalist vote?
Now you see why this show will be hot!!! Please tune in and call with your questions and responses to our panel.
Love,
J
