Who DID America Vote For?
The United States of America Elections are over and Americans believe they know who they voted for and that their vote counted. But do they really? I have voted in 10 US Presidential elections. I remember the previous 3 US Presidents prior to my first vote. And while there have certainly been jokes and allegations […]

Which Side Are You On?
Yesterday I passed along my thoughts on the two different cultures manifesting themselves in America today. I said that I didn’t have a question, only an observation, but that was not entirely accurate. I do have a question. The point of the observations, naturally, was to cause you to consider which culture you fit into […]

A Tale Of Two Cultures

What is your cause?
Pastor’s are not supposed to have a “cause” other than preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was always taught that you preach TO the people not AT the people.

Do You take Jesus with you?
I’d like to address Theists today. Specifically those theists that identify as Judeo-Christian. And the question I’d like to ask is “Do you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?” OK. Not really, I would not ask such a question. I’ll explain that in a minute. More to the point, what I’d like to discuss […]
