Jeremiah Wright and The Good Life

For an advocate of liberation theology Jeremiah Wright knows how to live in high style. As one who regularly decried the materialism of “rich white folks” Reverend Wright has certainly cashed in. Timmy Brister posts this report on the recently retired pastor’s new digs.

As Timmy points out, this story raises some important questions about the call of Christ to deny self. It’s not so much about Jeremiah Wright as it is about whether we will serve or insist on being served, whether we will seek to give or receive. It is about whether or not we are willing to follow the One who had no place to lay His head.
