Wednesday World Day {global US election}
Every wednesday I’m going to highlight something that is going on in the world (globally).
I’ve heard many times that, if the entire world was voting in the US presidential election, Obama would win by an alarmingly huge margin.

I found a little informal, global poll that gives some unofficial, unscientific results.

Young Evangelicals, Elections, and Our Real Work (by Tim Kumfer)
Tim Kumfer writes a great post on the God’s Politics blog:
Polls show that show young evangelicals as voting increasingly for Democrats is all but a given. The temptation I pray we will avoid is hopping in bed with the Democrats like previous generations did with the Republicans. It is my hope, that instead of becoming more liberal, we would become more biblical. We need to be more realistic about partisan politics, both its capacity to exploit and use the church and its limits in creating large-scale social change.

Tiananmen Square: Stand Bold
This is a photo taken of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. A group of college students were protesting China’s communist government. I love this picture. I have the poster in my dorm. Everytime i see it I ask myself, “what sort of dedication and belief would cause this sort of action?”
What are things that you would stand up for?
What are some things that you would stand in front of oncoming tanks for?
