Breakfast Links for 12/13/12 - Leave Your Snakes Home; Jedi ...

BREAKFAST LINKS 12/13/12:

Arlene Sanchez-Walsh, Patheos/Re-Generacion: ?When I started teaching a class on global Pentecostalism this fall, I think the word was out that I was Pentecostal, and one of my students was stunned that I did not show up the first day of class in a long skirt, long hair, and no make-up?to which I added, that ?I?d also left my snakes at home.?

Terry Waite, The Guardian: The Plight of Christians in Lebanon

Tim Dalrymple, Patheos/Philosophical Fragments: ?I?m less disturbed by the 176,000 who ticked off ?Jedi Knight? than the 14 million who chose ?No religion.??

Elizabeth Evans Hagan, The ABP News Blog: Discerning God?s Direction

Roger E. Olson, Patheos/Roger E. Olson: ?I propose that we, Americans and especially Christians, rediscover and re-value the power of negative thinking.?

Christy Thomas, The United Methodist Reporter: A Hand Up ? Not a Hand Out

Joe Carter, Patheos/Joe Carter?s Commonplace: ?The same secularists who think that playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City while listening to gansta rap has no affect on children act as if hearing ?Merry Christmas? will turn little Johnny into a Pat Robertson clone.?

John Stossel, Real Clear Politics: Government Gone Bad

Richard Dahlstrom, Patheos/Fibonacci Faith: ?Though waiting has fallen on hard times in our instant society, anticipation is still alive and well.?

Matt Miller, Washington Post Opinions: Obama?s Trump Card on the Debt Limit

Robert C. Crosby, Patheos/Robert C. Crosby: ?I never knew a case where God used a discouraged man or woman to accomplish any great thing for him. Let a minister go into the pulpit in a discouraged state of mind, and it becomes contagious: it will soon reach the pews, and the whole church will be discouraged. ? It seems as if God cannot make large use of such men.?

James Downey, PostPartisan: Too Big to Fail, To Big to Indict
