He just doesn’t remember what it was about. And Wright built a big church. There are some people who are compelling speakers who can move large crowds. There are a few people who can build mass movements. The history of the 20th Century was dominated by several men who managed to do that. The leaders of Russia, Germany and Italy are examples of men who could do that with literally catastrophic results. There are two things to keep in mind about people like that....

Take, for example, his former pastor. Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. who's back in the news. On Thursday, Wright found himself apologizing for a comment he made Wednesday in which he blamed "them Jews" for keeping him away from the president. Now Wright says he meant to refer to "Zionists" and not all Jews. In a walking interview Wednesday with a reporter for Virginia's Daily Press, Wright was asked why he thinks Obama has not spoken to him. My guess is that the snub has something to do with...

Unfortunately, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright doesn't seem to understand that he's way out of step. "Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me," Wright told a reporter in Hampton, Va. "They will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is." Besides being insensitive, Wright's comments reflected a sentiment that could be perceived by some as anti-Semitic.

We have to now learn how to listen and talk with each other about those realities,” Wright said while visiting the 142nd annual Virginia State Baptist Convention.

While Christians have high moral standards, we also belong to a most gracious God Who willingly uses us even when we don't meet those high standards. God never ceases to surprise us by using unexpected people and circumstances. His grace and His truth are unwavering, and stand in shining contrast to imperfect humans and the false "wisdom" of this world. Marriage is the unique union of a man and a woman, and our imperfections cannot change that.
