VFTB Live: Pastor Ian Farnsley — Politics and the Thinking Christian

AS CHRISTIANS seethe at the moral decay spreading through our culture, the temptation builds to impose a legal framework of biblical morality. But by doing so, we risk imposing the kind of theocratic tyranny on others that our forefathers fled when they rejected the authority King James in matters of faith.So what do we do? Pastor Ian Farnsley, Family Life Minister at Town & Country Christian Church in Shelbyville, Indiana — who drives a car with a bumper sticker that asks, "Have you prayed for a liberal today?" — joins us to discuss the proper balance of politics and faith.Then, something different for A View From the Bunker in what turns out to be an all-Shelbyville show: local singer/songwriter Bob Rogers performs a pair of original songs about his mother's home town of New Orleans and how it's suffered from the dual hammer blows of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.You can listen to and/or download CD-quality mp3s of "Midnight On The Bayou" and "Cafe Au Lait, Beignets, and Time" by clicking the arrows below:[wpaudio url="http://vftb.net/archive/midnightonthebayou.mp3″ text="Bob Rogers – Midnight On The Bayou"][wpaudio url="http://vftb.net/archive/cafeaulait.mp3″ text="Bob Rogers – Cafe Au Lait, Beignets, And Time"]Sharon and Derek will speak at the Supernatural Science and Prophecy Conference October 1 and 2 in Canton, Ohio, along with Tom Horn, Russ Dizdar, and Jeffrey Radt.
