Yes, my blood was boiling last night as I wrote my commentary on “The Texas Textbook Massacre” (copyright 2010, NoMoreGreed.com). Today, as I did further review, it went beyond boil to full-out, lid-popping explosion. The Texas Tribune did an extended annotation of the debate surrounding content changes in the proposed history curriculum and it’s a [...]

Living in the Philadelphia area, I routinely flip over to Matt O’Donnell, Tamela Edwards, and the Action News Team for my weekly wake-up dose of reality. Stabbings, murders, rapes, earthquakes, lava flows… You know. Just the stuff you need to get your day started off with a “What is the world coming to!” bang. We [...]

Just the other day I had a chat with a Christian brother and the topic quickly turned to the raging debate over health care reform. Like many folks in the religious and political right he was worried that this was just one more blatant power-grab by the liberal left, slowly chipping away at individual rights [...]

What a wonderful week it was for the NoMoreGreed eagle-eyed reporting team! From bimbos to bozos, it was a week full of chuckles, jaw-droppers, and head-scratchers. Let’s get right to the mayhem… Bimbos, Busts, and Boneheads There is nothing as pathetically precious as a beauty pageant contestant with skeletons in her closet. You always get [...]

I’m a pretty simple guy. Once I find something that works for me I rarely deviate from the plan. Take our cars, for example. It took me years to realize that all the Fords, Chevys, and Dodges we were buying may have been cheap, but they sure didn’t hold up too well over the long [...]

The following postings are a compilation of a five-part series I did considering Brian McLaren’s decision to observe the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and one person’s reaction to my concern over McLaren’s choice. It’s called, “Who am I to judge…?” and it captures the essence of the tension in today’s post-modern Christian world between [...]

(continued from Part IV) Okay, we have finally finished our trip through the spooky McLaren forest and are dusting ourselves off now that we have reached the other side. Now it’s time to talk turkey.

(continued from Part III) If you have been following along at home, I said way back in Part II of this series that the, “Who am I to judge…?” question dropped a barge-load of heavy duty questions at my spiritual dock. That one question forced me to step back and rethink my attitude toward the [...]

(continued from Part II) The problem with a line like, “Who am I to judge…?” is that it springs up like a relativistic cobra from the dense underbrush of legitimate theological debate. It is intended to do one thing; stop you dead in your tracks. It makes you consciously pause, wondering whether the snake bite [...]
