Runaway slave

Wow! Pastor C.L. Bryant is calling Americans who are black to reconsider what he views as a commitment to a modern form of slavery known as government dependency. Call it political. Call it courageous. Call it gripping. It is all of that and more. Above all, it’s truth. While Pastor Bryant is speaking directly to blacks, [...]

The taste of excellence

My business partner sent me this article called, The Inside Story: 5 Secrets To Pixar’s Success. A brief and enlightening read. Point number 5 is the one that really floored me, though. I’ve pasted it below: Hire for Excellence. When Pixar is evaluating potential hires they look for three traits: humor, the ability to tell a [...]

When telling the truth is wrong

Another brilliant video from Prager University. The general question this video asks is, “are we addicted to gossip?” Think about it for a second. Can you go 24 hours without saying anything bad about another person? If I asked you if you could go 24 hours without having a drink of alcohol, would you be [...]

The three deadliest words in the world…

More girls are killed every year in India and China than are born in the United States. This is an unbelievable genocide. What can be done? How do we protect these girls? How do we prevent this from happening elsewhere? These are all big questions that I don’t know how to solve. However, these types [...]

Father Barron responds as well

Encouraged

I’m encouraged by the response by so many to the “Jesus came to abolish religion” video. I didn’t realize when I saw it that my sentiments would be echoed all over the web. Here’s another brilliant video response.

It’s not just what, but how you do it

My business partner posted this to his Facebook wall. When I saw the preview image was a muscle-bound behemoth I was thinking that maybe his account got hacked, but what I watched was truly a punch to the gut. This video is speaking right to my core: if you want to improve, if you want [...]

Freestylin’: Jesus = Religion

Granted, this guy is a little dorky. So clearly… my kind of guy! His points are terrific. This is a longer video (around 12 minutes), but it’s very engaging and lightened with a little comedy.

More on Jesus = Religion

Here’s a link to a very brief, but outstanding article from Christian blogger Matt Warner. He makes his case far more eloquently than I did. Below is an excerpt: Unfortunately, when left to themselves, they’ve simply created their own religion that is right where they are already right. And based upon beliefs that change at [...]

Jesus wasn’t a lot of things

One more rant about this video… There’s a trend amongst the enlightened elite to speak self-confidently about how “Jesus wasn’t a Republican”. These people need to get over themselves. Jesus wasn’t a lot of things. There is no good reason to make such a statement other than an attempt to inject personal politics into a conversation it [...]
