I see your "Ebony and Ivory" and will raise you one "Say, Say, Say."

Mmmm. When Michael was still cool enough for George to own a Thriller Jacket.

"You're sayin that my love aint real
Just look at my face these tears aint dryin'"

Actually, "ebony & ivory" can be considered the worst song ever, and can be used properly as the one thing to get other songs out of your head. Like, "say say say" - you've been humming it all day. But then you change to "ebony and ivory", which is so bad it knocks anything else out and your very soul rejects it from staying.

Worth a try anyway.

I would propose that "Hey, Mickey" would fit the bill as the song-of-all-songs to "cleanse the pallet."

"Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
"Hey, Mickey!" ba-bomp
"Hey, Mickey!" ba-bomp.

Cheers...

Book Review: Leatherbound Terrorism by Chris Kratzer

Image
I read this book in two days. Two days. I simply could not put it down. 197 pages of a heartfelt plea that has been on my heart for many years. Unlike Chris Kratzer, I was scared to write it down. It wasn't my book to write.

In Leatherbound Terrorism, Chris Kratzer is a modern day voice of one crying out in the wilderness of white, conservative, Evangelical Christianity, paving the way of the Lord and His grace. I consider Chris a friend and a kindred spirit. For hundred of years, religious legalism has tried to offer the body of Christ all manners of religious tradition, legalism and Bible-thumping, graceless preaching and teaching to solve the problem of sin. Chris pulls no punches in calling out those who have abused the power of the pulpit and politics. He accurately lays out the very things that have rendered the modern church useless and and ineffective.

Chris was a pastor for many years, buried deep inside of the man-made solutions to the spiritual problems of the world. H…

Some of You Have Asked Me

Image
For over three decades I preached like a traditional, conservative pastor should...with should being the operative word. 

You see, for the longest time I did what I was told as a preacher. I preached expository sermons, voted Republican, shared the gospel, and towed the evangelical line.


My fellow pastors were pleased with me, and I figured God was too. After a period of time, however, my heart became empty. I was going through the motions, and trying to hide it from everyone. 

Mind you, I still believed in Jesus, and in the power of prayer...just not my prayers. I believed that I was disgracing the pulpit, which I loved, by the way. I miss preaching. I really do. I left local church ministry in 2016 at the church's request. When that happened I felt like a failure to my family, the ministry, and most of all to God. I had burnt out mentally and emotionally. My feelings were all over the place and I had no control of them. I had a total nervous breakdown and was hospitalized for thre…

Why I Am Renouncing the Southern Baptist Convention

Image
To list the reasons one by one would possibly break the internet. I suppose I could break it all down to one simple word: power. The SBC has it, they are losing it, and they do not like it.
What is really happening in the SBC is that all the “absolutes” they have championed at the expense of others over the last 35 years or more are coming back to bite them. Most recently, the issue of women in pastoral ministry (again). 

For many years, the SBC has loved and promoted Beth Moore, arguably one of the best Bible teachers on the planet. In the last year, she has challenged the SBC’s position on not allowing women to be ordained as pastors. Here are a couple of their "gracious" responses:

Then there was this exchange between Moore and Owen Strach…
