You may not know - or be able to pronounce - the name Michael Guglielmucci. No takers? Well, if you are a fan of Hillsongs and Vineyard Worship, you should be familiar with the song, “Healer”. Shoot, I sang that with tears welling up in church a few weeks ago. That song is great. It’s anointed. [...]

A medesto California Preacher is convicted of embezzlement, Murder, and Elder Abuse. Howard Douglas Porter was convicted and faces life without parole after he killed an 85-year-old rancher after embezzling money out of him and killing him by drowning the farmer.

God calls all sorts of people to minister and preach the Gospel, no matter where they came from or what they have done.Podcast version hereMy hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, used to have a magnificent shipyard industry on the River Clyde. Thousands of men were employed in the building of some of the biggest warships and ocean liners in the world. When I was growing up, it was wonderful to see the s

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his lawyer (both church members), to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the [...]

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects: a

“He got a new mercy, a new grace, street-corner preacher with an angry face. He got two years off for good behavior, back in the neighborhood working for the savior.” A fine guitar blues, with a fine story line. The character has trouble “getting a job with a felony charge.” In today’s atmosphere of ‘justice’, one only needs to be accused to be considered guilty, this said from pers

One of the reasons preachers should stay out of politics is because they make so much trouble for politicians. Take a look at these clips from Senators McCain and Obama. Watch as the Senators try to squirm away from relationships with crazy religious leaders, Jerry Falwell for Senator McCain and Jeremiah Wright for Senator Obama. With friends like these....

In my last post I shared how Mormons and Evangelicals can get along.  I read on another blog somewhere about a Baptist preacher a few months ago and thought this was interesting to share.  This Baptist Preacher seems to have found a way to still believe in the Evangelical Jesus and the Book of Mormon Jesus.  The following [...]

Islam continues its export of thugs into the United Kingdom. The son of hate preacher Abu Hamza has been arrested over a suspected burglary attempt.

A Preacher was explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave. Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the City stands up and proclaims, ‘If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac [...]

There was a preacher who's wife was having a baby, so he went to his congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever a preacher's family expanded, so would his pay check.After 6 children this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children would cost the church. Finally the preacher got up and spoke tothe crowd,"Children are a gift from God, he said. Silence fell on the congregation. In a back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said." rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much ofit, we wear rubbers, and the congregation said, "Amen"

I had an interesting morning. I attended the annual meeting of Eastman Chemical Company Stockholders in Kingsport. I was asked at the last minute by the New York City Comptroller's Office (which files shareholder resolutions to amend companies' EEO policies to include both "sexual orientation" and "gender identity") to represent the New York City Pension Funds, a shareholder at Eastman.Apparently the person scheduled to represent them was not able to do so, so they were scrambling around to find someone in the area to do it. Through connections from the Human Rights Campaign to the Tennessee Equality Project finally they found us at PFLAG Tri-Cities. When I found out what it was about I said, "Sure, I'll help you." Now Eastman is a big place. I had to dig out a sport coat and tie,

His name is Nezareth Castillo Rey. He is probably the smallest evangelical preacher in the world. He is only 8 years old. Watch this freaky kid delivers his overly dramatized sermon to thousands of gullible silly adults.When he was 3 years old, he said to have received a revelation from God and he has started to spread His message in churches in many towns and nations. For the last few years he has preached, danced and sung regularly to audiences of up to thousands and recordings of his past events may be purchased on cassette, CD and videotape. He prepares for his preaching by reading the Bible. According to its father, Andr , his name means "Blessed Earth". Born in a town in the Andes to the east of Trujillo, Peru, he now lives in Alto Chicama a poor district of Trujillo with his father,

Today a Russian court sentenced a south Carolina Preacher to more than 3 years in jail. He was sentenced for bringing a box of 20 .300 caliber shells in his luggage!Phillip Miles, pastor of the Christ Community Church in Conway, S.C. may also face more years but his lawyer is hoping a turn-around in appeals court. Mr Miles said that he was bringing the bullets as a gift to a friend, who just got a new Winchester rifle. Here is a good lesson learned, never cross any border with ammo!

Attending a national conference on preaching here in the Washington, D.C. area this past week, I noted many references to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the recently past 40th anniversary of his tragic assassination was referred to by speaker after speaker.

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the races.However at the local auction, the going price for horses was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third! The next day the local paper carried this headline: PREACHER’S ASS SHOWSThe preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won. The paper read: PREACHER’S ASS OUT IN FRONTThe Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER’S AS

Preacher, tell me of heaven,if you must,of demons and angelsthat lurk in the twilightand thirst my sinful soul.Tell me of the shame I should feelfor my sex,for my passion,for the evil words I pour into this world.Tell meand I'll tell youof truth beyond the oxymoron,beyond the faceless faceand constant shame,I'll tell you of the roads you've pavedon top of crushed ivory and bone,of diamonds washed in blood of negros,of Jews and pagans that are no more.And so we'll stand at the dawnof the age of reason, talking,and I'll say that tyrants don't live long,that freedom asks for no redemptionand we don't need your holy song.

In 8th grade, I took a home economics class. The teacher was an older woman with brilliant white hair who taught me how to make buttermilk biscuits and Preacher cookies. In fact, when she couldn't figure out what to do with her class of mostly 8th grade boys (I don't know how I got stuck in that class!) she just let us make batches and batches of preacher cookies with government sugar and butter. I don't remember ever learning about the food pyramid, or how to eat healthily in that class, but the woman knew how to cook with butter and sugar!A few weeks ago, a good friend from high school named Eric emailed me his family's recipe for Preacher Cookies. I was so excited! I live a state away from where I grew up and it's rare that I hear people refer to these particular cookies as "Preacher Cookies." Eric had no idea how much he made my day!You probably know these cookies as "No-bake Cookies", "Stove Top Cookies", "Haystacks", "No Bake Oatmeal Cookies", "Boiled Cookies", etc... (If y

Carl Hagy, who is 41-years-old, has been arrested for stealing a laptop from Rev. Fidelis Obdike, who was in the process of praying with him.  Hagy was arrested by police on Wednesday after he pawned the computer, according to reports. The incident happened on Friday at the Destiny Global Ministries, in which police responded to the call by Obdike describing what happened.  Obdike told police that he bought the laptop from Carl Hagy about two weeks ago.  Then he said that Hagy came back to the church and asked to pray.  While the two where praying inside the church Hagy took the preacher’s laptop computer and left before Obdike even opened his eyes. Police later booked Hagy at the Sebastian County Jail, but he was later released on a $1,500 bond.  I am still trying to figure out how the man took the computer without Obdike hearing him.

This time of year my husband is like a buck in rut. He has a one track mind and it's to get The Big One of the season.

Before the reform of the General Roman Calendar today was the feast of St. Hyacinth. I like reading more about the saints of the old calendar because they are often ones that I am unfamiliar with. The lives of the saints are always interesting and edifying, regardless of how popular they may be today.The Church's Year of Grace, by Pius Parsch provides the following information about St. Hyacinth: While a canon at the cathedral of Cracow, Hyacinth journeyed to Rome, was impressed by the preaching and miracles of St. Dominic, and from the hand of Dominic himself received the habit of the newly-founded Order. Upon returning to his native land (1219), he established monasteries of his Order beyond the Alps at Friesach, Prague, Olmiitz, and Cracow.From the Breviary we have this miracle. With three companions Hyacinth had arrived at the banks of the river Weichsel during their journey to Vischegrad, where they were expected to preach. But the waters had risen so high and had become so viole

Is anybody else bothered by the fact that Scooter Libby was supposed to get more jail time for doing nothing than a woman who killed her husband. What message does this send? "Be careful what you ask your wife for?" SELMER, Tenn. — The woman convicted of manslaughter in the shotgun slaying of her minister husband was freed Tuesday after serving 67 days in custody. Mary Winkler was released from a mental health facility where she had been undergoing treatment for about two months, defense attorney Steve Farese Sr. said. He has declined to identify the facility where Winkler was held. Winkler, 33, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 2006 shotgun slaying of her husband, Matthew, at the Church of Christ parsonage in Selmer, where the couple lived with their three young daughters. She was charged with first-degree murder, but jurors convicted her of the lesser charge after she testified that her husband abused her and demanded sex she considered unnatural. Winkler wa

The Alabama preacher said to his Congregation, "Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who did this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family."No one moved.The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression."Again all was quiet.Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop traffic rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends you were a wizard under the sheets."The preacher fainted, and the congregation roared.

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and, typical man, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory. I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the length

Preacher, originally uploaded by Simon Crubellier.   Really, organized religion needs to work on it’s image.

In his classic work entitled "Trojan Horse in the City of God," Dr. Dietrich von Hildebrand (whom Pope Pius XII referred to as the 20th Century Doctor of the Church) had this to say:"Because an antipathy to the condemnation of secular 'orthodoxies' and religious deviations characterizes the mentality of our time, it is necessary to emphasize that the call of the hour, the opportunity presented to the apostolate of the Church in a particular moment in history, implies not only the exploitation of the positive elements of an epoch, but also the unequivocal condemnation of the errors and evil trends. Condemnation and the unmasking of errors is widely seen today as something hostile to love. No longer understood is the basic principle enunciated by St. Augustine - interficere errorem, diligere errantem (kill the error, love the one who errs).It is assumed that these two actions contradict one another, when in fact love necessarily requires the killing of error....it is precisely the Ch

A Baptist preacher rose with an angry red face. "Someone in this multi-racial congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one, which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who did this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family." No one moved. The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression." Again all was quiet. Then, slowly, a big breasted Black woman with a body that would stop traffic rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke. "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a my sister that you is a wizard under the sheets!" The preacher fainted.
