After 20 years of life and ministry in Washington, D.C., I am still intrigued by the various means used by God to draw people to himself\u2014 including in the very halls of the United States Congress. Members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, are complex and nuanced. It would be a mistake to box them in with biased assumptions about their faith.<\/p>\n

The recent death of New York pastor Dr. Timothy Keller<\/a> has caused me to reflect on how the gospel is at work in Washington, D.C.\u00a0Some years ago, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Steve Preston shared over lunch with me that he had been greatly impacted by Keller. When the Manhattan pastor published the New York Times best-seller \u201cThe Reason for God,\u201d Preston gifted a copy of the book to President George W. Bush.<\/p>\n
