Glenn Beck thinks I'm a Nazi

Glenn Beck recently advised his listeners to leave their churches if they hear the words 'social justice' and 'economic justice'.  Beck claims that these are code words for Nazi or communist activity.  I don't know that I've ever used the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' from the pulpit, but that's not because I don't believe that the Gospel preaches that Christ makes ALL things new and that God is reconciling ALL things to himself through Christ.  Mr Beck - I believe in justice in all spheres of life and I believe that God is a just God.  I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.  A pastor from Denver has posted a thoughtful and thorough response to Mr. Beck here.

what's important to Colt McCoy?

Colt McCoy only got to play in 5 plays of his team's effort to win the BCS championship.  He was hit - legally but lethally - and pinched a nerve.  So he stood on the sidelines and watched Alabama take the prize.  In the post-game interview, McCoy speaks clearly with conviction, humility, and a confidence in the God of the universe.  Sure, he loves the game, has a passion for it even - but it's not where he finds the true meaning of his life - instead he 'stands on the rock' and 'gives God the glory.'  I'm a Big Ten fan, and I'm still grieving Ohio State's recent loss to Texas, but in honor of McCoy's character, HOOK 'EM HORNS!
