Thought For The Day

True Then – True Now!

From the May 20, 2007 Washington Post, staff writer Joel Achenbach speaks about as much truth as I can handle for one day. It’s so good, and so true, I didn’t want you to miss it.

“So much of what is packaged and distributed in American politics at the national level is, let us be honest, a lie — or spin, or an illusion, or a partisan manipulation of facts, or something bought and paid for by special interests. Perhaps it’s just bad journalism, or tabloid trash, or the mindless spew of cable TV shouters. You don’t have to be completely marinated in your own cynicism to perceive that much of what we call “politics” is a farce, a sham, a travesty and a buncha bull malarkey.”

Man, oh man, I wish I’d Said That!

And it so much reminds me of what goes on in some Churches on Sunday. Just substitute the thought that it is preaching that is being talked about. John MacArthur is absolutely right when he says, “Church leaders are obsessed with style and methodology, losing interest in the glory of God and becoming grossly apathetic about truth and sound doctrine. For the moment at least, the battle appears to be turning in the enemy’s favor.” (The Truth War, Thomas Nelson, 2007, page xvii)
