"I'm canceling my devotional subscription because you refuse to tackle the important issues; you're no longer relevant. In fact, I think you're a coward." "I'm canceling my devotional subscription because you refuse to lower your standards about what gets people into heaven." "I'm canceling my devotional subscription because you keep saying I have to share my faith."
In order, these are the three biggest reasons people write to tell us they're no longer reading Madetomatter. How should we respond? How should Christians behave in today's culture, which seems to invite us to war with unbelievers, and with each other?

Over the past thirty days, American culture has turned a corner, shifting what was once an inexorable, uncomfortably rapid slide away from the God into a stampede. While it isn't fair to lay this shift on President Obama's shoulders, it is his election which has emboldened those who are responsible for the stampede.
America was clearly tired of how the country was being managed, and the shift from Republican to Democratic leadership was their way of telling their leaders they wanted change. But the change the American people demanded with their vote was not a repudiation of Christianity and it was not an invitation to throw out the principles which were used to build this country. In fact, it was a call to return to those principles.
Unfortunately, nobody is listening. (Click through on the title to read more.)
