Something has gone terribly wrong. We face a spiritual crisis, but
the extremes of religious fundamentalism on one hand, and
scientific atheism on the other, offer no cure. Scepticism is
soaring, especially among Millennials. Daily, we read of scandals
among our politicians, priests and Hollywood stars. Mass shootings
are epidemic, yet entertainment media glorifies violence. Drugs,
not 'religion' as Karl Marx claimed, are now the 'opiate of the
masses'. 'Christian' TV preachers use donations to purchase private
jets and mansions, while children starve. The White House has
claimed that 'Truth is not the truth'. Our leaders and institutions
have lost all moral authority. A common religious response to
crisis is to thump the Bible harder and louder. This book
challenges us to go beyond a simple, childish belief. Dr Lance
Moore offers an intelligent faith rooted in a respect for
Scripture, while taking a fresh look at calcified orthodoxies. He
invites readers to embrace paradox, in Spirituality and in Science,
to rediscover God for our Quantum Age.
Class Crucifixion: Money, Power, Religion and the Death of the
Middle Class Greed, Class Warfare, and the Rising Fourth Reich
Crucifixion? A strong word, not always one with religious
overtones, but chosen here to signify more than a gentle, natural
death. The American middle class-the world's best hope for
democracy and freedom-is being destroyed. And ironically, the
modern perpetrators claim to follow the teachings of the
most-famous victim of political and religious power-mongering. In
Jesus' time, the religious elite and the ruling political class
conspired to crucify him; today, the working class is being
betrayed in the name of Jesus by yet another cabal of power, money
and religion. Dr. Lance Moore, author, pastor and businessman,
believes the current war being waged against the middle class is
not Christian at all, but instead is a "Fourth Reich of the Rich"
blitzkrieg -rooted in greed. Drawing upon history, economics,
religion and compelling logic, he pops modern myths, showing: How
free markets aren't free That the biggest welfare recipients are
corporations How Goldman-Sachs got rich selling a manure sandwich
Why CEO's are overpaid (including the true story of the chimp who
picked stocks better than the Masters of the Universe on Wall
Street). Moore offers solutions, but does not advocate bigger
government or communist-style confiscation of private property.
"One principle of capitalism is indisputable: money motivates. But
profit and productivity do not require a 'Girls Gone Wild'
capitalism. A trained and reined Kentucky Derby winner runs faster
than unbridled wild horses. It's time to re-examine the
laissez-faire proposition that the 'invisible hand' of the market
is an intelligent way to run our world. Time for a new ethic, time
to put people before profits, time to save the American Dream." "If
you are not angry, you haven't been paying attention " Edward
Wesley "Every responsible and virtuous citizen should read three
things: the Scriptures, a daily newspaper... and this book " Dr.
Thomas Lane Butts
A Monkey Could Do It: How Wall Street Robs Main Street, subtitled
TheValue of Work and The Values of Class Warfare ((c)2012 Lance
Moore). "This book could change the world " Edward Wesley Drawing
upon history, economics, religion, and compelling logic, Dr. Moore
exposes the faulty ethics and greed behind mythical "free markets."
And he makes the myth-busting an entertaining read, including the
true story of a chimp who consistently picked stocks better than
the high-paid "Masters of the Universe" on Wall Street. Topics
include: Who started Class Warfare What the Bible REALLY says about
socialism What Jesus REALLY says about greed, taxes, and wealth
fake Meritocracy and the real worth of CEOs Beyond Occupy Wall
Street: Wall Street vs. Main Street Capitalism: the Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly Why free markets aren't free Plutocracy and the Rising
Fourth Reich the growing gap between rich and poor Greed as
addiction Bankers, usury, bubbles and derivatives Welfare for the
Rich, Taxes for the Poor Monopolies, cartels and pyramids Hope and
Solutions beyond big government. "Every responsible and virtuous
citizen should read three things: the Scriptures, a daily
newspaper... and this book " Dr. Thomas L. Butts "Going beyond
OCCUPY WALL STREET, this book destroys the claim that excessive CEO
paydays are ethical just because they are legal." Robin G. Hoode,
Director/Founder of www.FireTheRich.org Dr. Moore does not advocate
bigger government or communist-style seizure of property. "One
principle of capitalism is indisputable: money motivates. But
profit and productivity do not require a 'Girls Gone Wild'
capitalism. A trained and reined racehorse runs faster than
unbridled wild horses. It's time to re-examine the laissez-faire
proposition that the 'invisible hand' of the market is an
intelligent way to run our world. It's time for a new ethic, time
to put people before profits, time to save the American
Dream.&quo
November 22nd, 2013 marks the 50th Anniversary of the assassination
of John F. Kennedy... and at last we have the unbiased facts,
concisely-presented by a skilled, acclaimed author who is also a
credible voice: an ordained Methodist minister. Dr. Moore presents
over 200 source-notes supporting a compelling case that the death
of President Kennedy involved more than a "lone nut" assassin. He
marshals old and new evidence to prove that there was indeed a
second sniper, positioned in front of the Presidential limousine,
who fired the fatal head shot. Moore points up scores of glaring
contradictions in the government's own Warren Commission Report as
he exposes the greatest crime mystery of the last fifty years with
riveting, engaging prose. "Finally, a well-written, witty, and
factual overview of the case that examines both the big picture and
all the important details in the mosaic-without getting lost in a
morass of tangential information. This is an important book that
clearly demonstrates why the JFK assassination case is still
relevant, unsolved, and intriguing.... Not just "Recommended"
Highly recommended " -Vince Palamara, author of Survivor's Guilt:
The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy
The Ocean House, a Victorian grand hotel in Watch Hill, Rhode
Island, has a collection of over 250 original works of art
including illustration art and paintings by Ludwig Bemelmans,
Garrett Price, James Montgomery Flagg, Konstantin Rudakov, Leon
Bakst, Oscar Fabres, Jessie Gillespie and many others. Over fifty
of the celebrity self-portraits collected by Burt Britton are here,
including Herbie Hancock, Gloria Steinem and Tom Wolfe. There is
also a large group of fashion studies done in Manchester, Vermont
in the 1890s. This catalog reproduces all in color, with essays,
notes and bibliography.
This year, thousands of churches will build or renovate, and many
will repeat common mistakes -- some with disastrous results. Even
experienced architects and pastors cannot guarantee success if they
fail to communicate properly with building committees.
Well-intentioned parishioners waste time and money with misplaced
priorities or by unnecessarily "re-inventing the wheel."
This book offers a common language for ministers, church boards,
contractors, and designers. Point by point, start to finish, Mr.
Dan Michal, an architect involved in a variety of church building
projects, and the Rev. Dr. Lance Moore, a pastor and the son of a
pastor, warn of common follies and guide you in sorting out the
best choices for your church. A copy for all involved in planning
or building your facility may be the best investment you make
Written for all churches, regardless of size or denomination, this
guidebook is highly readable (even humorous at times), easily
understood, and most of all, helpful. It is a useful reference for
pastors, building committees, architects, and contractors.
Includes a variety of reproducible forms and helps, plus
diagrams... and cartoons
"Any church that is in the process of building or considering
building should study the book Firm Foundations. It could save a
lot of time, help your church avoid many mistakes, and it will save
the church money in the long run. I highly recommend it."
Dr. John Ed Mathison
Internationally known evangelist and pastor
"Sound advice, practical considerations and humor make this book a
valuable guide for anyone involved in a church building program.
This is not necessarily just a "how-to," but a "why-to" book as
well."
Mike Holbrook, Contractor
"Firm Foundations should be considered "must reading" for anyone
involved in the church building process. The authors have given
enough valuable information to make us good stewards -- and enough
comic relief to keep us from giving up on the task."
Dr. Thomas Kinchen, President
Florida Baptist Theological College
