Would You Eat With President Obama?

March 7th, 2014 | Add a Comment

Before some of my readers get either agitated or excited (depending on your point of view), I have NOT been invited to dine with President Obama. Nor, do I anticipate receiving an invitation anytime soon. However, should lightning strike and someone in the White House read this blog post and feel so inclined to ask me to dinner, guess who would come? That’s right! I would not hesitate to accept an invitation to eat with the President. Here’s why. First, it would be a great honor to break bread with the President of the United States of America, regardless of his political party. Second, it would afford me an opportunity to share the love of Christ with President Obama. I think Jesus told us that we were to love our neighbor … Read entire article »

Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty, Gays & Gracious Speech

In the last 24 hours, the kerfuffle over Duck Dynasty and Phil Robertson’s GQ interview seems to have sparked two widely divergent, yet tenaciously held, opinions. The first, held by Sarah Palin (here), Mike Huckabee (here), and other conservatives, seems to believe that The First Amendment is being trampled on by the godless Hollywood/Media complex that seeks to destroy every last vestige of Christianity in our nation. The second opinion, held by the Gay Rights Lobby and their supporters in the government and media, seems to think that Phil Robertson has committed the unpardonable sin that will lead to unspeakable acts of evil being perpetrated against the homosexual community. For this, he must not only … Read entire article »

2013 Elections: A View From a Blue State Conservative

In yesterday’s off-year elections for Governor, Chris Christie, a conservative Republican, coasted to a second term in blue state New Jersey while Ken Cuccinelli, the conservative, Tea Party leaning Republican Attorney General came up short against Terry McAuliffe in the purple-turning-blue state of Virginia.  How one interprets the results of these two elections will determine whether or not Republicans will continue to wonder in the political wilderness for another four or eight years following the 2016 Presidential contest. One would be hard pressed to write off Christie’s re-election as nothing more than a popular moderate (RINO) beating an unpopular and relatively unknown challenger. That would be a mistake. Christie cruised to an easy win, becoming the … Read entire article »

Desmond Tutu, a Homophobic Heaven & Muddled Theology

Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, apparently has a very strong view when it comes to equal rights for homosexuals. This past July at a United Nations’ gay rights campaign kick-off in Cape Town, Tutu, the retired South African Archbishop of the Anglican Church, was quoted as saying: I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place. … I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.” Tutu, ever the passionate advocate for social justice, believes that the current fight for gay rights is every bit as important as his previous … Read entire article »

Happy Halloween, Trunk or Treat, & Redeeming the Day

Happy Halloween! I used to say that all the time growing up and even into my adulthood. What does that greeting really mean, anyway? As a Christian, I was certainly not giving my endorsement to all things Satanic and demonic. It was simply meant as a way of acknowledging a holiday that is, for most kids (and even adults), about one thing and one thing only — CANDY! And, lots of it. For many Christians, Halloween has become associated with spiritual darkness and the occult. Witches, vampires, ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and zombies now outnumber princesses and super heroes in the neighborhood on Halloween night. What to do? Retreat into our homes and turn off the lights, … Read entire article »
