Moral Majority
“It occurred to me that a phrase like Repentant Majority or Forgiven Majority might be a more correct way of describing Christians than Moral Majority. Such a label would credit God for any trace of goodness, thus assuring that, in Paul’s phrase, “no one can boast.” Instead, we convey an unctuousness that drives away the very people to whom Jesus directed his appeal: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” he said. I could find no prod toward success or superiority in the invitations of Jesus Christ. Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.”
from Soul Survivor: How My Faith Survived the Church by Phillip Yancey
Our preacher has often commented that our church sign should read “Sinners Anonymous meets here”.

Lawanda- the Moral Majority is a political term for Christian voters. I believe Pat Robertson coined the term - but don’t quote me on that.

September 21st, 2006 at 5:13 amI love this quote, Carrie. Unfortunately, I feel myself distancing from politics because of this. I think that there is a real element of pride involoved and I don’t want to be seen as a part of it.
