Texas Baptist Preacher Terms Palin VP Pick ‘Anti-Family’
September 3rd, 2008
“I don’t see this as a pro-family pick at all!” said Voddie Baucham, a popular author and conference speaker who serves as preaching pastor at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas. “In fact, I believe this was the anti-family pick.”
Baucham, who has spoken in several Southern Baptist venues, including the 2005 SBC Pastors Conference, says he doesn’t believe Palin can balance the responsibility of high political office with her role as Christian wife and mother.
“My point is simple,” Baucham said in a blog. “The job of a wife and mother is to be a wife and mother. Anything in addition to that must also be subservient to it. There is no higher calling. Moreover, I believe Paul’s admonition should lead us to reject any notion of a wife and mother taking on the level of responsibility that Mrs. Palin is seeking.”
Baucham said his “heart breaks” for Palin, because she has been blessed with five children but craves for something the secular world believes is “something more.”
