Basically, by and large, what's called the church today is nothing more than a bunch of unconverted church people with unconverted pastors.

So I thought, "Well, let's see what happens when I post some of it."

Graydon CarterI support charters, but the right kind of charters. I support charters that support kids who have the highest needs. A charter should be targeting students who are in serious trouble.
