Liberty

Trump is giving the graduation address at Liberty University, which claims to be the largest Christian college. Are those who accommodate, accept or ignore evil any better than the evil doer? I don’t think so. Trump is a liar, an adultery, a bigot, a racist, a misogynist and everything Jesus was against. To accept Trump is to reject everything Jesus taught and everything the Jewish prophets proclaimed. There are millions of Christians who follow Jesus and reject this worldly, twisted... Read more

Embracing evil

Last updated on: May 5, 2017 at 4:19 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

When some Christians talk about Jesus, they are simply wrong. Their politics are more important than the actual teaching of Jesus, and so they’ve twisted Jesus into something that’s not in the Bible and clearly not the message of Jesus.

Where is decency?

Last updated on: April 20, 2017 at 2:37 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

How long would you permit someone to abuse another, before you step up? How long would you stay around someone telling racist jokes, before you walk away? How long do you let a man make derogatory and sexist comments about women, before you say something? How long would you watch a bully harass and abuse others, before you intercede? How long do you remain silent when the weak and powerless are attacked and victimized by the powerful? Why would you... Read more

I love President Carter. I’ve written about him here: President Carter and here: The desire to find peace on Memorial Day and here: You met a president New York Times reporter Nicolas Kristof had a great e-mail interview with him, concerning Carter’s faith. Here’s a great highlight, with which I agree. “I look on the contradictions among the Gospel writers as a sign of authenticity, based on their different life experiences, contacts with Jesus and each other. If the... Read more

People yelled as they witnessed a man being assaulted. Most of us have seen the video of a passenger being dragged off a United Airlines flight. Video and news story A very few, as some usually do, blame the victim for not complying with the demands of corporate employees or the men with guns. We still don’t know all the details. Witnesses on the flight say they were offered $800, United claims they offered $1,000, to surrender their seats. The... Read more

Matthew 21:1-11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the...
