Well, what do you think? Do pastors and leaders talk about political and cultural issues too much or not enough?

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown,

your voice of moral, cultural and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience

and President of Fire School of Ministry.

Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth.

That's 86634 Truth.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

You know, this is a subject that we often talk about.

It's something that comes up over the years.

It's something that pertains to my calling, serving as your voice, need a voice to serve as your voice,

your voice of moral sanity and spiritual clarity.

It's the question of pastors and leaders speaking up,

addressing cultural issues, addressing political issues. When does that hurt our witness?

When does that distract us from what really matters? When is that something essential for the good of the body?

Do we make a distinction between culture and politics?

Does the gospel intersect both? We'll talk about that. And I want to get your take. 86634-truth, 866-348-7-884.

I'll also talk about other things happening in the news around us. But before we get to any of that,

breaking news, a bomb blast, excuse me, a bomb blast, an explosion, large explosion in Beirut, Lebanon,

from the videos that looked like there could be thousands of people killed.

They're reporting so far at least 10 killed.

I can't believe the number would be that low based on what I've seen and heard.
