I like to highlight ways that God is glorified in the media, and I can think of no clearer example than a lengthy cover story of this week's New York Times magazine about my dear friend, Mike Allen, chief political correspondent for Politico.  The title says it all: "The Man the White House Wakes Up To."  Mike has visited our church, and is a part of the new Sovereign Grace church in Arlington.  Mike's faith in Christ is genuine (and clear in this story), and his humility is evident to anyone who is near him -- he's one of the most respected (and probably the most influential) journalist in the country, but if you try to ask him about himself, he immediately is seeking to get to know you, asking questions about your life. 

I realized how strategically God had placed this man when Mike asked me to attend with him a preview of an HBO documentary about Evangelicals in politics by Alexandra Pelosi (Nancy's daughter).  When Mike walked in (and the three of us with him were the only evangelicals in a room full of Nancy's friends! ;-) , Alexandra immediately said to him - "Mike, you're the only person here whose opinion of this movie I care about" -- because she knew he was an evangelical and she deeply respected him. 

So if you have a few minutes, read this article, and thank the Lord that a man like this is in such a position.  And pray for him, that God might continue to use him for his glory and give him increasing opportunities for the gospel in Washington.
