No More Xmas!

I’m tired of battling folks about the secularization of Christmas! It’s not only wearisome, it’s mind-bogglingly stupid! Taking Christ out of Christmas is like taking the tires off your car and then having the whole family climb in for a Sunday drive. It doesn’t work. How long is our society going to be caught up […]

Evel Knievel makes his last leap.

Evel Knievel Dies at 69 Read about him here. Evel (That’s Evel. NOT Evil!) was one of my heroes growing up. We had four motorcycles (all dirt bikes) and almost all my friends road competitively or in some sort of Xtreme fashion. I used to imitate Evel too—jumped my motorcycle the length of at least […]

Hannah Montana Who?

Earlier this week, in case you missed it, an event that got way more attention than the evening God came to dwell among us occurred right here in Charlotte, NC! I’m referring of course to the concert (and I use that term loosely) of Hannah Montana. I’ve got nothing against Hannah, in fact, from everything […]

Remember, “No Mo’ Technorati?”

Well I’m throwing my pastoral hat in that ring as well. Looking back over the last couple of months I too have been sucked into the great technorati vortex, and now I’m climbing out!

Willy Wonka and the Church Factory — Part 3

If you’re just catching up with this series, read this first. Then read yesterday’s post here and you’ll be all caught up and ready for this one. Otherwise, this post will only sound like meaningless dribble from a slightly neurotic pastor desperately in need of sleep. And… Wait… Oh, never-mind, just go read those and […]

Willy Wonka and the Church Factory

I’ll bet you never linked these two enterprises together before, huh? But they’re far more alike than most of us ever imagined. In fact, in some cases, they’re practically the same! Think about it. Willy Wonka and the golden ticket and all that is a relatively new idea—sort of an updated, “Wizard of Oz” thing. […]
