Wealth, Power and Evil
There is nothing inherently wrong with having wealth and power. It’s dangerous, but it can’t be avoided, and it can be done well. The people who deserve our lasting despite, and perhaps bloody execution at the hands of a lynching … Continue reading
The Samson Moment
There’s a little of Samson in all of us. Samson took hold of the two middle pillars that supported the temple and he leaned against them, with his right hand on one and his left hand on the other. Samson … Continue reading
