A political programme can never in reality be more than probably right. We never know all the facts about the present and we can only guess the future.

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satisfied; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Digression alert: Soon after meeting with Doug Pittman, I had the opportunity to speak at length with Tom Rich. Once again, I was grateful for the "heart-rending" experience at my former church. Once again, as he told me his story, I felt like I was reading a playbook as I heard about the responses by Mac Brunson and the so-called "leadership" at FBC Jacksonville.

Note: May 20 pm: We realize our intent for this post was misunderstood by a few readers and decided to clarify our position. We changed our title and the opening question to define our thoughts more closely. We believe that Liberty University invited Beck for a variety of reasons, and we are exploring some possibilities. As one pastor put it – "Even on my best days my motives are mixed." However, today, we will present our strongest theory for why Glenn Beck addressed Liberty grads.

Look at how much the church has done for the world. I was about to make a clever comment incorporating various proofs such as the work of William Wilberforce.
In case you haven’t heard, Liberty University is ”forming a committee to investigate a series of accusations against Ergun Caner, president of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary,” according to Provost Dr. Ron Godwin.
Who knew there would come a day when some internet sleuths called “bloggers” (a relatively obscure bunch) would cause such a ruckus within Christendom? Yesterday, Christianity Today posted an article entitled “Bloggers Target Seminary President”on the Web.

First there was Darrell Gilyard, now Ergun Caner… Is anyone surprised that both have been protégés of Paige Patterson?
Dr. Ergun Caner is, and should not be, the president of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a charismatic speaker who seems to have a knack for drawing people into his delusions.
