Perhaps it’s time that we write about how the obsession of leadership in churches, though it began as a corrective, has begun to take on worship and weight that is undue. Instead of “Jesus and John Wayne”, how about “Jesus and John Maxwell”?

The main premise being this: beginning as an aid to pastors and clergy, what has developed is a leadership culture of pastors who are much more like CEOs, a “leadership-hermeneutic” to Scripture, and a success-obsessed ministry that MUST grow.

@ESPNNFL I have a request for Power Play: I want all the local commercials. Is there a lawyer in Buffalo I don’t know? I’d like to know them. Is there a pizza joint in Seattle I should visit? Tell me more. Why should I shop at @BinnysBev? Chicago needs to tell me.

Protestant Bibles should come standard with the deuterocanonical books and early Christian writings (Clem of Rome, Iggy of Antioch, Barny, the Didache, etc) Spicy take for the day

#EbbensPM It’s important for us as citizens of this United Kingdom to celebrate those great ones of us. So I’m establishing 4 November as Ted Lasso Day. This is because Luke 11:4 reminds us of the same forgiveness @TedLasso shows. Cheers friends-

#EbbensPM My administration is all about innovation. There are no sacred cows. Because of this, henceforth, it is no longer “football”. Legally, it can and will only be referred to as “soccer”. Those breaking this law will be fined.

#EbbensPM If you or someone you know would like to be nominated as part of this groundbreaking administration, reply with what position you or someone you know would want! @BBCNews I’m up for more suggestions for this fake temporary administration

#EbbensPM Periodically, I’ll be unveiling my cabinet picks through my term. I’m pleased to announce @peppapig as my Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. She will be about as good a fit as me for the job.
