Time Magazine recently published a story in which they named the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America. The list included those people whom the magazine determined to be the most influential Christian conservatives within the Bush administration. The Time list:
Howard and Roberta Ahmanson
David Barton
Doug Coe
Chuck Colson
Luis Cortes
James Dobson
Stuart Epperson
Michael Gerson
Billy & Franklin Graham
Ted Haggard
Bill Hybels
T.D. Jakes
Diane Knippers
Tim & Beverly LaHaye
Richard Land
Brian McLaren
Joyce Meyer
Richard John Neuhaus
Mark Noll
J.I. Packer
Rick Santorum
Jay Sekulow
Stephen Strang
Rick Warren
Ralph Winter
However, I would like to offer my own list of those people whom I believe demonstrate not only supreme effectiveness and significant influence (except within the Bush administration, unfortunately), but more importantly, superb fidelity to America's founding principles. My list:
David Alan Black
Derry Brownfield
Tom DeWeese
Greg Dixon
Don Dwyer
John Eidsmoe
Ezola Foster
Gene Howard
Rick Jore
Alan Keyes
Kelly McGinley
John McManus
Stanley Monteith
Roy S. Moore
Ron Paul
Michael Peroutka
Doug Phillips
Howard Phillips
Larry Pratt
Charley Reese
Paul Craig Roberts
Jim Rudd
John Stormer
Herb Titus
Edwin Vieira
Paul Walter
Darrell White
David Wolfe
That's my list. (I realize that there are twenty-eight names on my list; I got carried away.) When we see these people appearing in Time Magazine, we will know the country is turning around. Until then, it is pretty much business as usual.
