Who's an evangelical? Until last year the answer seemed clear. Now the word may be losing its moorings, sliding toward the same linguistic demise that "fundamentalist" met decades ago because it has been misunderstood, misappropriated and maligned.

So last night Michelle resigned from The Apprentice. I wish she had been a little more blunt with "The Donald." I would have liked it if she had said: "Hey, I am not going to sleep outside in a tent for any job." Of course, anyone with an ounce of sense knew that she was going to be fired. She probably messed up their production. The payoff scene in every episode is in the "Boardroom."

In reaction to Michelle’s move Trump began a nearly Churchillian speech about the virtues of never giving up. He cautioned Michelle that she would be a "quitter," a "loser," and that it would mar her psyche. In my opinion, Trump was dead wrong.

Sometimes we need to give up. Don’t get me wrong. If God has given us a clear assignment and we are following a divine prescription, then I think we should persevere until the end! But so much of what is done in church life does not meet that standard. And clearly there are many times when we just don’t know when to quit. If something is not working, is making us miserable, and the entire church miserable, then perhaps it is wisdom to fold up our tents and try something else.

Michelle had made a good assessment. She knew she wasn’t project manager material. She flopped in her first project. She didn’t want to live in a tent. It wasn't what she signed up for. She pulled the plug. I think she showed wisdom. What do you think?

“[Ask, Seek, Knock] "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
