Think About This – Two Huge Flaws

There are two basic flaws in out current Christian paradigm and practice that have allowed America, and by extension the world, to slide closer and closer to moral rot and decay. This post will be short. I just want you to think deeply about what you see as you participate in or observe the contemporary Christian church. These flaws are so severe that they must be totally reversed if we are ever to see the renewal or revival or restoration of our nation. The problems are spiritual, not economic or political and the slippery slope deepens almost daily. Flaw number one is the paradigm that the members of the church exist to equip the pastors for the work of ministry. They are do this by bringing their tithes into the “storehouse” and building ever larger and more ornate...

There is a way…

In an article, published 12/20/09 in the New York Times, columnist Frank Rich calls Tiger Woods the “Person of the Year.” That’s right. Tiger Woods. This year. Hard to believe/ Maybe not so much. Read on. It is a pointed and penetrating piece worthy of the time it will take you to read it. It touches on a deep and sobering perspective of our contemporary culture and its shallowness, and our willingness to accept how things or people appear without looking too deeply for what they really are. Our national focus has become one of form over substance. Character has come to mean nothing to us.  I suggest that you read the article before proceeding. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/opinion/20rich.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 I don’t agree with all Mr. Rich says in his...

What in the world? How stupid do they think we are?

I can’t believe what I am seeing. America, we are in deep trouble! We are being led by an empty suit that only knows how to campaign and has no clue how to govern. We were promised “change” and a “new transparency” and we get a health care bill that won’t see the light of day until it is too late to stop it and that has been put forward only by the approval of whores who sold their integrity for special favors and money. This is disgusting and nothing more than the strong-arm Chicago politics of bribery and corruption brought to our nation’s capital. We are being represented by prostitutes who gladly sell their integrity for money, power, and popularity. (See: Where are the Statesmen? –...

Some Food for Thought

First some facts, then some questions. Did you know that: 1) Real per-capita income in our country has doubled since 1960. 2) Life expectancy has nearly doubled in the last century and continues to rise? 3) The size of the average new home has grown from 1100 square feet post WWII to 2300 square feet today? 4) We Americans are more prosperous today than 99.4% of anyone who has ever lived? 5) We have technology and labor saving devices beyond what could be imagined just 50 years ago? 6) The total of the knowledge we have gained in the last 50 years is 50 times greater than all that was previously known to man and continues to double every year or less. 7) We live in the country with the greatest individual freedom that the world has ever seen? In spite of the above, all studies show that...
