The Light of Death

Many white professing Christians say that President Obama is destroying America. Many white professing Christians said the same thing about President Lincoln. During all the politics and nationalism Jesus has been moved from the heart to the head. Like a doctor who instead of giving his dying patient the heart transplant he so desperately needs, the doctor loudly chastens his patient about the wrinkles in his hospital gown.

Protecting and defending a nation has never been our calling. Proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ is our exclusive calling. We have seen the results when we attempt to do both. Instead of the glorious light of Jesus Christ shining through the church, we now reflect a light which shines forth as red, white, and blue.

That light is eternal death.
