Jesus Deficit Disorder - Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola on SBE

Erik Guzman August 6th, 2010

You've probably heard the joke about the little boy digging through a giant pile of horse manure. An eternal optimist, he exclaimed, "With all this horse poop, there has to be a pony in here somewhere!"

Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola are here to get us digging in the right di … (Read More)

Terry Mattingly September 22nd, 2009

As the Divine Mrs. M.Z. Hemingway has been demonstrating, the mainstream press has shown quite a bit of interest in the religious roots of the anti-ACORN video reporter Hannah Giles and, in particular, the social and political views of her minister father and, to a lesser degree by inference, their home Clash Church.

Strangely enough, less ink has been poured out on the background of the video mastermind himself, James E. O’Keefe III. He has, by the way, grown from being a “filmmaker” in t … (Read More)

Steve Brown May 19th, 2009

I’ve been meaning to tell you something…something you probably already know.

Avoiding Some Church Troubles

Tony Campolo January 14th, 2008

Every denomination in America is facing the real possibility of schism because of differing views on the place of gays and lesbians in the Church. Almost all churches, including most Fundamentalist churches, are open to homosexuals attending their worship services. Even homophobic Christians welcome gays and lesbians in the hope that they will hear the Gospel and maybe get saved. Those who are convinced that those with homosexual attractions can be changed through “coming to know Christ,” … (Read More)
