The "Christian Ghetto" was also prtrayed (with great accuracy) in the movie "Saved" with Mandy Moore. It would behoove us who call ourselves Christians to step back, bite our tongues, and try to understand how nauseating a "Christian Ghetto" really is. I was struck by the fact that both the movie & this blog stated that the world has messy problems and often times it seems like the "Christian communtiy" has no answers except hate or heretical acceptance. What happened to the truth that is laced with love and gentleness? Maybe many of us are too self-consumed to bother.
A native of Houston, Texas, Todd served as youth pastor in churches in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

He is a graduate of Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Todd and his wife, Karen, have been married since 1990 and have three children: Kate, Ryan, and Matthew.
"Therefore the Christ who is grasped by faith and who lives in the heart is the true Christian righteousness, on account of which God counts us righteous and grants us eternal life."
Martin Luther
"The Gospel is sheer good tidings, not demand but promise, not duty but gift."
