Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Steve Brenneis adds:

"Society has changed."
Societies change, societies come and go, the Word of God does not. Try as you might, you cannot morph scripture into a "living" document. Jesus' message cannot be adapted for the times. It is timeless and not subject to the whims of liberal syntactic parsing. The fact that women no longer perform the tasks of child-rearing and homemaking does not make those tasks any less their domain. It is the fact that women have strayed from those responsibilities that our society faces a crumbling morality and our families face entropy. To suggest that Jesus altered his message for cultural differences is a slippery slope. Nothing could be further from the truth and it represents little more than liberal wishful thinking.

"I truly believe that if Jesus were here today, he would have men and women (of all race and creed) in his discipleship."
Indeed. Exactly as he did when he was here 2,000 years ago.
