What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

On a nicer Harris note

Better than her "legislate sin" comment was her quote after voting today, as she said the election results are up to God. "I'll do the best I can, honor him, and the results are his."

Since we're apparently being watched by several of those "young, restless, and Reformed" types tonight, let me solicit comments about the sovereignty of God in political elections. Is God's sovereignty more on display in the vote of thousands of people than it is in the ballot of each voter? Are tonight's results any more "God's" than, say, Katherine Harris's statement on legislating sin?

Yeah, I'm deliberately stirring the pot. The letters queue is too quiet. Address, for those who didn't see it, is letters@christianitytoday.com
