Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. Nixon

Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.
Bill Hybels
