Don't Blame Jesus

This week is a total downer.  Rich and I talk about the new Department of Homeland Security Report.  With the broadest of strokes the DHS has attempted to paint all conservative American citizens as whacked out right-wing extremists.  As you know there are whack jobs in every corner of the world, but this report crosses the line by associating their unorthodox views with the majority of good American citizens.  Not cool.  This is an assault on freedom of speech and ultimately an assault on the freedom of thought in the US.  We are hoping for better things from America.

We also talk about Steve Taylor’s ground breaking song and video titled “I Blew Up The Clinic Real Good.”  Although this 80′s music video is obviously satire, Rich and I both feel that the DHS should travel back in time and retroactively arrest Steve Taylor for this thought crime.  Bombing and clinics is not a joking matter… just try saying that in an airport.

On today’s podcast Rich and I talk about the problems we have pronouncing and communicating ancient names in modern times.  After thousands of years of language changing through different cultures the fact is that nobody has a prayer or pronouncing anything correctly, at least according to ancient standards.  We may be able to make them sound similar to what we have heard but it is unlikely that we even approach what someone from ancient times could even understand.  The bottom line is to not get sidetracked or discouraged but instead plow through to find the meaning and the intent that God has for you.  At DontBlameJesus.com we freely admit that we mess it up all the time, we just hope that you end up hearing our hearts instead of our words.

Then Rich gets a phone call and DontBlameJesus takes it’s first commercial break.

Finally we talk about our new President Barack Obama.  It is our hope that regardless of party affiliation, that all Christians will turn their hearts toward the Lord and lift up our new President in prayer.  Indeed, it is the prayers of the righteous that bring true change and we as believers too often become lax in our responsibilities.  We are commanded to pray for our leaders and we want to see the change that only prayer can bring.  Everyone, regardless of their party affiliation, wants to see the United States succeed and do well.  It is our desire at DontBlameJesus to see believers in America unite in prayer and see the change that only prayer can bring.
