The Sacrament of Work
We have separated Christian work between the secular and the sacred. There are ordinary Christians with normal jobs and then there are the “really spiritual” Christians who are pastors or missionaries.

Beer is no longer simply the beverage of Sunday afternoon football and drunken frat parties of mass quantities. Beer is now being seen as a meal [...]
14 Faults of the Church Relating to Ministry
Something is wrong with the church in America. We stifle those who want to serve God and Pastors try to conform people to their own agenda. We have become a business, and those same skills we look for in the business world we look for in our Ministers. The following list is a tirade that [...]
