Religious Freedom Denied in North Carolina

When growing up our high school was experiencing the same things that many schools of the 1970′s experienced.  I remember arguing for the existence of God in one of our science classes.  I also remember that we had the Lord’s Prayer before our basketball games.  I believe I was in the ninth grade when a letter went home that the Lord’s Prayer would not be practiced any longer before the games.  It was then that I was introduced to the fallacy that many use to define Religious Freedom.  This fallacy says that we should not offend someone else by practicing our religious standards.  Well, it looks like we are back at the same fallacy in 2010.

Pastors and Job Security

If you are going into the ministry for job security just stop right there. Dr. Jerry Sutton has survived a vote of confidence at Two Rivers Baptist Church located in Nashville, Tennessee. See story here. Why is this such a shock for a pastor. Dr. Sutton is not a new comer to the church that began making changes as fast as he could. Dr. Sutton has been at this place of ministry for over 20 years!  This serves for me as a lesson that God is where I place my security.
