Change the Heart

WORLD magazine's latest issue has a story on corruption in Illinois politics. As you well know, Blagojevich is just the most recent example of this. I thought you might like to see their quotation of one of our local politicians (he even marched in our rainy Mt. Morris 4th of July parade).

Sen. Tim Bivins, a Republican, concedes that legislation plays a role but is increasingly convinced that evangelism can help clean up Illinois politics: "True rehabilitation comes from change in the heart. You change the heart, you change the mind. It's no different for legislators. And there's only one true way to change the heart, and that's through Christ."

Here's a link to the article, though you have to be a subscriber to read the whole thing.

P.S., I don't endorse politicians. And, frankly, the way things have been going lately, our believing politicians need extra prayer too.
