“What we need to do is come up with something simple. And when I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual in the universe, God, and he’s given us a system. It’s called a tithe.”
-Ben Carson, renown neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, speaking at the White House Prayer Breakfast in February 2013.
Very good post, Pastor Brian. I’m proud to see so many people are applauding his speech.
Yes, he made quite a political stir. I just wanted to applaud that this educated and brilliant doctor also has a high regard for the Bible, and has a sincere belief in God as well!
How powerful and simple (though seldom easy) the truth is!
Reminds me of Mother Theresa telling President Clinton that abortion is murder.
There’s no doubt that Carson’s speech has created profound interest in his viewpoints, further distinguishing him as a unique voice in a pool of commentators and politicians who often use divisive tactics and rhetoric. Rather than further splintering the nation, the renowned doctor hopes to bring togetherness to the forefront.
