This is another post from a Facebook note from May 9, 2007 The dominant culture in the global society is white, male and heterosexual. The following piece is not a rant or a diatribe against white people nor is this piece written as an invective against the white race. However, this is a piece that is […]
Read more "Why I Can’t Praise White Jesus"This is a repost from my Facebook profile. Okay, here’s Intro to NT or HB (Hebrew Bible or Old Testament) 101– EXEGESIS–the careful investigation of the original meaning of a text in its historical and literary contexts; the word comes from a Greek verb meaning “to lead out of” (Greek “ex” = “out”; “ago” = […]
Read more "Jesus Aint In The Old Testament!!!!!"One of the things that I noticed this year was that people really do dumb stuff. Now, this does not make me the arbiter of what is smart and what is dumb, but I do believe that I have a pretty good handle on what is. I say so because, in the spirit of good […]
Read more "FOOL FEST 2007 NOMINATIONS"I’m really not one to use a lot of theologically loaded words to describe how I’m feeling. When I do use these “churchy” words and phrases, generally my friends know I’m poking fun at those who use them and really mean it. This is a result from my parents who, although are fundamental in core […]
Read more "The Antichrist Is Here–and its more than one!"To my viewers, my apologies for not having a blog post for the New Year like most everyone else did, but I had had quite a weekend, resulting in some flu and cold like symptoms for the rest of the week following New Year’s Day. That being said, I do owe a blog on […]
Read more "Hillary Clinton Did Not Win the New Hampshire Primaries"I know that this is a weird and quite unusual statement, especially from a self-professed Christian. However, we always hear the statement, that Jesus is the reason for the season, and although I’m mostly in aggreance with that statement, I’d like to take that particular philosophy to task for a moment. Let’s go to work. Many […]
Read more "Jesus Isn’t the Reason for the Season"My cousin gave me True to Our Native Land, an African American New Testament Commentary as a Christmas present and I flipped through it and I saw names like Cleophus J. LaRue, Thomas Hoyt and Brad Braxton and since I had heard of these, among other names I was real interested in what my cousin […]
Read more "My Theology of Preaching, Pt. I"I know I haven’t posted in a few days, so I finally found something worth posting. Even though this really isn’t going to be a long post, I believe it bears mention on some other wide reaching issues as far as money given to people and other entities are considered. This was actually a blog […]
Read more "Ron Paul’s thought-provoking choice on racist’s $$$"I remember I didn’t get my first cell phone until 2004, entering my junior year of college. I also have a good memory of sitting at the top of the stadium seats at a packed basketball game at Dillard and sitting next to my friend when my phone buzzed on my hip. I pulled it […]
Read more "Text message break ups"First things first. You all should know that I don’t “do” FOXNews, but its the only regular news story that I could find that wasn’t an opinion piece. Now, lets deal with Ambassador Andrew Young. I read the story, and my issue wasn’t that Young felt comfortable enough to kid around about Bill Clinton’s alleged “blackness” […]
