Cured of Agrophobia

I have been preaching lately on the power of sharing our personal testimonies concerning what God has done in our lives. My goal is to get people to freely share their stories of salvation, healing, financial blessing, and other works of the Lord with those who are the natural contacts in their lives. I believe … Continue reading Cured of Agrophobia

Name your Nazi

After reading yet another article about someone calling a Tea Party guy a nazi, I just couldn't resist a brief comment. First of all, the use of the term Nazi in the pejorative is a bit overdone these days. When real nazis show up we are numb to the warning. Second, if you insist on calling … Continue reading Name your Nazi

Did 9/11 work?

A few days after 9/11/01 church attendance went up. People knew they needed God. It troubles me that ten years after the Islamo-fascist attack on the United States we are debating whether it would be OK to pray at the Trade Center site. Maybe even worse, we are avoiding any evangelical presence at the Pentagon memorial. Apparently the goals of … Continue reading Did 9/11 work?

Are You Just Stupid Like Rick?

I see by the morning gab that I am supposed to dislike Rick Perry because he is stupid. We know this because he said that it would be almost treasonous to print fiat currency for the sole purpose of manipulating an election in the middle of a national crisis. Then he implied that he thinks … Continue reading Are You Just Stupid Like Rick?

We don’t have a “jobs” problem

So we have a massive shortage of apples in our country. If we want apples we have two basic choices. We can buy or borrow apples and place them around the country. If we want to maintain the illusion that we are producing apples, we can simply hang them in trees and let folks come … Continue reading We don’t have a “jobs” problem

Who do you want in charge?

I noticed this week that the National Football League and the players manged to hash out an agreement over which of the rich people would get the most money. One day they met for over 13 hours. When they were interviewed they were generally discrete, respectful, and professional. These are guys who get paid to run into each other in … Continue reading Who do you want in charge?

Who Decides?

The first question I ask in any political issue is "Who Decides?" Our system of federalism was predicated on man's fallen nature, and provided for a number of checks and balances to prevent any one man or group of men from controlling the lives fo the people. We have divided powers for a reason. yet while the congress debates … Continue reading Who Decides?

He’s not a rapist, so hail to the chief

OK. So let me get this straight:. the head of the IMF is now free from prosecution. We are relieved to discover that the housekeeper with whom he committed adultery was lying about the rape. Hence, we should not be shocked if he now runs for president of France. He is, after all, not acriminal. Well, at least he … Continue reading He’s not a rapist, so hail to the chief

Why this trial?

It's Saturday morning. I'm trying to faithfully do my morning stretch so I turn on Fox, only to find that even on Saturday, it's all Casey Anthony all the time. Legal experts of all kinds are endlessly discussing a murder trial with tearful witnesses, gory pictures, and salacious inferences about the accused. All this is interspersed … Continue reading Why this trial?

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Friday, June 17, 2011 Building People of Substance for Works of Power I got an email ad the other day with the heading, “Does your church need a new stage?” Under the heading were several very colorful examples of the work the company had done in other churches. Lots of backlit crosses and spotlights and … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
