Jesus confronts his disciples' obsession with political power, which distracts them from his true mission and causes them to miss the central point of his teaching about his death and resurrection. Th
If you follow me on social media at all, you may or may not have noticed that I am mildly opposed to the GOP nominee for president. (Because the internet is largely devoid of tone, except for very skilled writers, of which I am not one, that was understatement for effect.) Some of my fellow […]
After my last post, some folks wanted more detail, I won’t give it. I’ll give you more philosophy.

The skit was […]
