The Oral Roberts University Board Begins to Shuffle
6 commentsInteresting news from Tulsa. The ORU Board shuffle has begun. Many have said that Richard Roberts shouldn't have taken the fall alone for the allegations in the lawsuit. I understand from news reports that the professors brought the allegations to the board first, who turned a deaf ear. Then when the profs went to Richard, they allegedly got fired.

Senator Grassley's Debacle
53 commentsA number of people have been asking me for my personal take on
Senator Charles Grassley’s “investigation” into the finances of six major
Christian ministry organizations. The ranking Republican on the Senate

trust among your supporters, then let them know where their money is
going.
On the other hand, ... read more
