Painted on the assumption that Donald Trump has no idea who Shimon Peres was.

Welcome, Flock. Today’s sermon is titled "God and Man in the Wilderness" and it should go without saying, although, that said, I’ll say it here now, that the term "Man" in this case is non-gender-specific. But we digress.

There’s a lovely moment in Matthew where John the Baptist (no stranger to the Wilderness), whilst imprisoned for who knows what but which likely had something to do with stirring the metaphorical pot a bit too vigorously for the powers that be, sends a message to Jesus, asking "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?" -- a question to which Jesus doesn’t offer a flat yes (although as an answer that would certainly do), but instead says "Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see", followed, in case John’s messengers hadn’t been paying much attention, by a litany of the things they should have heard and seen.

"Yes, well and good," you must be asking, dear friend, "but what does all this have to do with Sarah Palin?" Come with me now, flock. Jump with me. Close your eyes. Grasp tightly the tip of your nose so you won’t get water in it ... and jump. For what all this has to do with Sarah Palin is a truth so self-evident that even the blind, God willing, could see it.

Today's sermon, titled "God and Man at Yale ... And Everywhere Else, More or Less", speaks to the commonly known and equally commonly bought (as in "You're actually BUYING that?") phrase: "God helps those who help themselves."

As the Pastor of TheEmptyChurchDotCom, I am here to tell you that if ever there was a concept as full of guff as this, I'd like to be notified. It is, in fact, the LEAST Christian notion imaginable. Yet it remains, sadly, a potent weapon with which Republicans bludgeon Democrats in the name of righteousness.

Come with me now, Flock. Follow me past the jump and I, ever so briefly because I know you prefer your time in church--even The Empty Church--to be short and sweet, will explain how the Republicans, yea tho' they may seem to have acquired the upper hand, risk, when Judgement comes (and it IS coming), engulfment in the flames of Hell. And there is no butter in Hell, dear friend, to salve those wounds. There is no butter.
