Peggy: "Destroyed" is not the word I used; rather, "changed," as in "It is a culture in need of change." That people who do not bear the name of Christ would engage in carnival (a word that speaks of pursuing fleshly lusts) does not surprise me. Th…

I'm not offended by your posting, Larry, only W's refusal to act to help the people along the coast. I disagree that I arrived at an unwaranted conclusion, but that I did generalize. That's all I have to say on the subject, and I'll move out of the…

Larry, I made my comment believing that George W. Bush, professed born-again Christian, shared your opinion of Mardi Gras, and let Katrina take its toll on New Orleans, hoping it and its paganistic rituals and people would be destroyed.

My Dear Irene: My view on Mardi Gras, as I think I stated in my article, is that it is a cultural expression of the sinful heart. God does not merely want to change culture, as I have argued (as though changing cultures would affect the change need…

If you are speaking about the conditions of cultures and what is acceptable and not acceptable then yes, but I see your view on sin is shady as if sin is the reason for all discord and havoc. Sad that you would ask if we are on the same planet. Are…

So I assume you are assuming that I'm more worried about the sin than the sinner. I'm sorry that I gave you that impression. What I am concerned about in my blog is that Christians would embrace this unholiday with such careless abandon.

God transforms individuals who have recieved Him as his God and Saviour. The Holy Spirit brings conviction for the transformation of change and the gifts follow. As for culture events across the world are not an example of christians winking at what…

Mardi Gras is a culture in need of change

"Fat Tuesday"


Pastor Larry L. Long



I pastored a church in south Louisiana for 10½ years before moving to Midland, which means I lived through ten Mardi Gras'.



Prior to my first Mardi Gras, the festival was only a vague image of parades, goofy or provocative costumes, and bizaar masks. I knew nothing of the meaning of the celebration, even less of its background.



Shortly before

Marriage is hard, but when done right it is good!

Marriage is Hard, But When Done Right It is Good
by Pastor Larry L. Long

Marriage is hard. Being married, remaining married, maintaining a good, happy marriage all your lifelong is one of the hardest things you will ever do—second in difficulty only to raising godly children.

Many couples planning to marry are surprised when I say this. Most can’t even bear to hear it. But as a pastor, whose work often involves helping couples put their marriages back together, I must say it.

Looking for Hope in the New Year?

Something More for 2010
Pastor Larry L. Long

Another New Year. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of living in a world that continually promises more but keeps giving less.

Everywhere you turn—from hotel accommodations to automobile performance, from legislative policies to governmental giveaways, from advertised sales pitches to guarantees against factory glitches—we are promised that the latest, greatest (buy now before it's too latest) thing is going to solve our problems, bring u… Continue
