Christian Man Mourns Passing of Great Preacher, Ignores All the Bad Stuff He Said and Did

A local Christian man, Michael Brown, was saddened to hear about the death of a famous preacher, whom he admired for his contributions to modern Christianity. Brown said he chose to focus on the positive aspects of the preacher's legacy, and not dwell on the controversial and divisive issues that he disagreed with.

"I think he was a great man of God, who preached the gospel faithfully and boldly," Brown said. "He had a huge impact on many people's lives, including mine. He taught me how to study the Bible, how to pray, how to share my faith, and how to live a godly life."

Brown said he was aware of some of the preacher's controversial views and actions, such as his endorsement of a political candidate who was accused of sexual misconduct, his approach to social justice and race relations, his support for a war that killed thousands of civilians, his endorsement of another pastor later found to be involved in a financial scandal that defrauded millions of dollars from donors, and his denial of climate change and evolution.

However, Brown said he did not let those things affect his admiration for the preacher. "I don't agree with everything he said or did, but I don't think that matters. He was human, after all. He made mistakes. He had flaws. He was not perfect. But he loved Jesus, and that's what counts."

Brown said he hoped that other Christians would follow his example and honor the preacher's memory by focusing on his good deeds and ignoring his bad ones. "We should not judge him or criticize him. We should forgive him and thank him for his service to the Lord. We should celebrate his life and legacy, and not let the enemy use his faults to divide us or discredit him."

Brown said he planned to attend a memorial service for the preacher at his church, where he expected to hear glowing tributes and testimonies from other admirers. He said he also planned to buy a copy of the preacher's latest book, which was published posthumously and contained his final thoughts on various topics.

"I'm sure it will be a blessing to me and many others," Brown said. "He was such a wise and godly man. I can't wait to read what he had to say."

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch...

Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis

Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David." One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do? We reached out to a local counselor for ...
