Your average Chesterton fan

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)

PoopedPastors.com

Steve Brown May 19th, 2009

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

In fact, God told me you would receive three free sins if you helped me out and, not only that, you would have a grateful pastor.

(No, it isn’t indulgences. I can’t really give you free sins!)

Okay, I want to make sure you know about PoopedPastors.com.

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)

The Failure We Foster

Erik Guzman October 8th, 2007

Many Christians live in a prison of failure. They aren't free and they don't succeed because they don't think they deserve it.

A misunderstanding of success, humility, and the law mixed up with bad psychology and worse theology have produced churches full of guilty people with a guilty preacher standing in the pulpit, telling the guilty people that they should feel guiltier. Can you think of a better recipe for failure?
