Posting to a blog requires discipline. Nuff said.

Here’s what I’ve missed while I was away.

  • English language legislation
  • Confirmation hearings for Gen. Micheal Hayden
  • The Troy Annual Conference’s petitions to General Conference, and…
  • Iran’s Ultimatums to the US
  • But my favorite story of late has been about Pat Robertson.

    Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he has leg-pressed 2,000 pounds.

    As if this guy doesn’t already have credibility issues, he’s claiming to have lifted a ton with his legs. I feel a little bad about not believing that God may very well have worked a miracle with this. But I have to admit that this guy has credibility issues long before I got to him.

    A recent AOL poll shows that 90% of the folks asked do not believe him. I was not shocked at those figures, and I doubt you are. If Pat Robertson told me that my hair was on fire, I would get a second opinion before I even considered extinguishing my scalp.

    So what’s the point?

    Christians, particularly Christian leaders, have a moral and ethical obligation to be credible. This story, though it damages the credibility of Christians everywhere, is a call for us all to seek truth in all that we do. And to focus on the things of importance.

    Lesson learned.
