The Monuments Men: In Dire Need Of Them Today

The Monuments Men: In Dire Need Of Them Today The Monuments Men presents a Hollywood look at the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFAA) program which sprang from the need to protect European artwork during the Nazi invasion of World War II.  The MFAA was formed by the Allies in response to looting, burning, and destruction of priceless artworks, with the aim of preserving those cultural artifacts left in the wake of Hitler’s genocidal war.  Apart from being a hall-of-fame anti-Semite, Hitler was also a greedy little man, who wanted to own and control the entire art world.  But when the tides of war turned against him, he childishly had tens of thousands of masterpieces destroyed, as if to say, “If I can’t have them, nobody will.” Read More

Greed, Naked Ambition, and Cutting Corners in the Church
working to cut corners

"A faithful man will abound with blessing, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished."
– Proverbs 28:20, ESV

There is no substitute for hard work. That’s what Mom and Dad always said, right? Little by little, pay your dues, do your time, and learn your craft. After a while, you’ll start to see some progress, and as you get older you’ll find that, somehow, despite everything, you’ve managed to accomplish a few things in life that are worthy of a measure of humble self-satisfaction. That’s how the WWII generation did it, and it seemed to work, at least in a quaint sort of way. Read More
