Activist Faith

For some time, anti-trafficking activists, myself included, have urged Hershey’s to take steps to remove slave labor from its product supply. My friends at Change.org are currently featuring an important petition I hope will help make the difference in this area. Please join me and others who say it’s time to for Hershey’s to raise…

“Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.” -Romans 13:7 Memorial Day is the time of the year we honor those who serve or have served in the armed forces, along with their family members.

In Joplin’s recent tornado, local church building did not escape damage. Many were destroyed or damaged. But those that remain standing have become a beautiful picture of faith in action. Why? These church facilities have now become shelters for those in need. Ignite Church, a location spared in the devastating damage, has transformed into one…

You want some major free publicity for your cause? Just predict the end of the world. The strategy appears to work well for Harold Camping. After failed date setting attempts in 1994 and now May 21, 2011, Camping remains undaunted with new mathematical calculations leading to October 21, 2011. His corresponding news coverage now competes…

Yes, you read that right. Another deadly tornado has hit, this time in Joplin, Missouri. 89 are confirmed dead. The number is likely to climb. As you read this headline, please stop whatever you are doing to take a moment to pray for those affected by this tragedy. Prayer changes things. Second, don’t wait to…

I’m writing this on Friday. My prediction is that when this posts on Sunday, the world did not end. If it did, I will not be reading or responding to comments, tweets, Facebook, email, text messages, or any other forms of communication. If not, feel free to sound off about what you did to celebrate…
