Weapons
of Mass Deception by
The Rev. Dr. Oscar Cole-Arnal
Ever since the late 1960's at the peak of the interface of civil
rights and the Vietnam war I have realized that the political realities
that shape our lives present a superstructure undergirded by religious
and moral values, most frequently in profound opposition to the
Gospel of Christ.
The
Gambling Jesus by
Charles Honeywell, Mission Developer
Maybe it's why the American Church has changed from ministry to
morality. Looking clean is easier than getting dirty in the trenches
of life realities.

The
Christian and the Corporation:
The Gospel Confronts the "Mark of the Beast"
by The Rev. Dr. Oscar Cole-Arnal
For
believers attuned to visions of disaster, found richly embodied
in Biblical faith, all the efforts by the Bush administration and
his corporate gurus at “damage control” fall to ashes
before the glaring light of Biblical truth.
Here
are 5 signs of the demolishing American Dream. In fact, we may be
a new form of “the beast” ourselves. Just ask people
from other countries what the feeling is toward Americans these
days.

What's
Love Got to Do With It? by Charles Honeywell,
Mission Developer
God
is Love. Is that enough? Yes and no. Along with love, comes the
responsibility for challenging the evil that appears in all of us.

Wrong with My Flag? by The Rev. Deborah
Byrum
As

Does
Jesus Embarrass You? by The
Rev. Dr. Oscar Cole-Arnal
Reflections on "Political Correctness"
The
"Political Correctness" slogan is a weapon created by
the establishments of our societies to keep critical groups on the
margins through mechanisms of trivialization, innuendo and cheap
humor.
Most
churches are guilty of what I call stained glass pollution. It is
a smog that keeps our churches from dealing with reality, and as
always, we wonder why people aren't flocking to urban churches.
