Even in the face of remarks deemed controversial by the mainstream media (MSM) concerning Obama’s pastor, I feel that there is a need to speak on the issue of black preaching. I did some opposition research and watched the O’Reilly Factor on FOXNews and those who frequent his show are familiar with his segment called […]
Read more "My Theology of Preaching, Pt. III: Coded Language"Isn’t it interesting that just as Obama’s pastor Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A.

Read more "Jesus Aint In The Old Testament!!!!!"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.
