No Outrage Here


Stephen and I were discussing this issue last night.

In the NPR interview, Bishop Robinson said;

....I hold the scripture to be the word of God those scriptures are holy to me and Jews and Christians....


At the end of his column, David Brody asks;
....will there by any outrage? Is there any?


These are my thoughts on the subject.

The God of my understanding is Jesus.
But that isn't the case for everyone, this is America.

The inauguration and related festivities is not church.
The inauguration and related festivities is not a revival meeting.
The inauguration and related festivities is not a evangelical outreach opportunity.

The inauguration and related festivities is an America political event.
And while this inauguration is certainly a historic one, it is political, period.

Blessings to all our country, regardless of race, religion, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, age, etc.....


Here is another thought on the subject, including a little perspective from history.
