Producer's Desk — evangelicals
What is “The Producer’s Desk”?
As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.
Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)
We hope you enjoy!

World Mag: Richard Land talks Gospel presentation, Woody Allen and more
posted by Matthew Hawkins on 07.21.2009
Topics: culture, homelessness, evangelicals
Marvin Olasky (World Magazine has published highlights from a discussion at The King’s College (NY) with Richard Land and Eric Metaxas.
Excerpt:
Land: When we look at our culture today, we have to try to understand, and ask God to help us learn, how to explain the gospel to people who don’t have ready biblical references. I read an article in Time magazine about the lack of religion in some parts of America. One couple came to see an Episcopal priest after they had been to a service, and they said, “Our teenage son wants to know who the man is hanging on the plus sign.” They didn’t know it was Jesus and they didn’t know it was a cross. That sounds far-fetched to some of us, but I’ve been some places in our country where it’s not as far-fetched as you might think.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to live a whole gospel before that world out there. The idea that there’s a social gospel and a spiritual gospel is an invention of the devil. There is only one gospel, and it is a whole gospel for whole people. It is blasphemous to go out and seek to feed the hungry and not tell them about the bread of life, or to seek to house the homeless and not tell them that in our father’s house are many mansions, or to seek to give water to the thirsty and not tell them about the rivers of living water. It is also a denial of the incarnation to go preach the gospel and ignore the fact that people are hungry and thirsty and naked and homeless. We are to do both.

Richard Land on Obama’s transition team
posted by Matthew Hawkins on 12.30.2008
Topics: evangelicals, politics, religion
This interview with Richard Land from Dan Gilgoff of U.S. News and World Report:
“For my story today on the Obama transition team reaching out actively to religious groups as it crafts a policy agenda and prepares to set up its own version of the Bush White House’s Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, I wanted to know if conservative religious groups were receiving the same red-carpet treatment as their faith-based counterparts on the left. So, I called Richard Land, president of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest evangelical denomination. Here’s our interview…”

WSJ: Loyal to the End: Evangelicals Stay the Course

Topics: evangelicals, politics, election, religion
” The new evangelicals, just in case anyone missed the storyline, were not so backward as to vote on issues like abortion and gay marriage. They were enlightened about the environment and favored government aid to the poor.
Well, whoever these new evangelicals were, they didn’t show up at the polls on Tuesday.” - Naomi Schaefer Riley

Baptists, the Bible and Women
posted by Richard Land on 09.17.2008
Topics: baptists, evangelicals, politics, election, sexism
My latest post at Casting Stones:
As Sally Quinn reasoned in the Washington Post, if Southern Baptists are opposed to a woman being the pastor of a local church, why would they support a woman as vice president? Aren’t they being inconsistent, if not hypocritical?
Now we have David Gushee (a self-identified “moderate evangelical”) discussing the “Palin Predicament,” which he described as “how can the theological vision that women are subservient to men jibe with a Palin vice presidency?”
As a Southern Baptist, a conservative Evangelical, and a member of both the committee that formulated the Southern Baptists’ confessional statement on “The Family” in 1998 and the committee that revised the denomination’s confession of faith in 2000, I feel compelled to respond…

Senator’s McCain’s bold choice
posted by Richard Land on 08.29.2008
Topics: abortion, evangelicals, politics, election, republicans
My latest post at Casting Stones:
At the Saddleback Civil Forum, Sen. McCain said that he was pro-life and would have a pro-life administration. The first selection of a prospective McCain administration has been made, and the senator could not have made a more pro-life appointment. I have already received two calls from pro-life Evangelical women who are delighted almost beyond words that they will now have a prominent pro-life woman who is the mother of five as one of the most prominent spokespersons for their cause. Gov. Palin is a person of faith and a devoted wife and mother whose oldest son volunteered to serve his country and will be deployed to Iraq shortly…
