I love what my pastor said this morning about one of many benefits to the congregation reciting the Nicene Creed immediately following the sermon. “If I get something wrong, it always gets it right.” We chuckled but we also knew he was serious. It’s a valid point. A straight arrow that never misses the mark.

I see tremendous value in a congregation reciting the creed, whatever the denomination. It gives us language to articulate what we believe. I wouldn’t argue with anyone over it. A lot of people feel differently. But I do think we’d be surprised to know how many faithful followers of Jesus have never learned how to tell an inquirer what they believe. I’m not thinking they should go off reciting it although I’d probably like it. :) But they’d be able to convey those primary tenants of our faith in their own words.

I never get over the wonder of this story God invited us into in Christ.

Nick Saban on The Paul Finebaum Show says he doesn’t know much about the presidential commission on college sports and isn’t even sure if CFB “even needs a commission” for its issues to be fixed.

Best definition of Trumpism I have read.

Yesterday, the neoconservative David Brooks wrote this in an OpEd in the NY Times,
"Trumpism… is primarily about the acquisition of power — power for its own sake. It is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice. …
What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power. …
I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now."
