McCain’s faith

Christianity Today August 16, 2008

Rick Warren’s question: How does faith work out for you on a daily basis?

John McCain’s answer: “It means I’m saved and forgiven.”

He then told a story about worshiping with another Christian during his captivity in Vietnam. On Christmas, a North Vietnamese guard walked with him in the yard, and drew a cross in the dirt and quickly scratched it out.

“For a minute there, it was just two Christians worshiping together. I’ll never forget that.”
