You might ask, "Who has kidnapped Al Mohler and replaced him with a moderate leader?"
But I would suggest to you that this is a manifestation of real conservatism – the best of conservatism – reason, moderation, and respect.
Mohler cautions against irrationality, conspiracy mongering (my word), and disrespect for the office of President.
He says, "Christians must be the first to pray for this president and to model respect for the presidency, even when we must disagree with the President's policies and proposals."
Question – Is this spokesman for the conservatives within Southern Baptist life take heat from his friends for this?
That has never seemed to deter him in the past.
