Today I was reading of the church here in Florida who is planning on hosting an event where they will burn the Quran. The pastor stated it was his Constitutional right of freedom of speech. Well he is right, about it being his right, but this kind of attitude, intolerance and hatred is the opposite of the Spirit of Christ. In fact hatred, judgementalism and intolerance is anti-Christ!
This church is as they claim making a stand, but for who and what is the question. This pastor says he still plans on having the protest but will pray on it. I hope he invokes the Spirit of Christ and listens....or maybe simply takes direction from our Holy Scripture.
Our military leaders have requested the church to not take such action, because this will put our troops in harms way. I agree and also add in addition it will further erode and misrepresent our Lord. The church is fast becoming it's own worse enemy and is fueling any oppositions reasonings for discounting it's relevance.
Let's get back to the power and foundation of the church.....Love! Let's build bridges, and "not repay evil with evil" but instead with Love. This would be a return back to the true Spirit and attitude of Christ. Otherwise we become the anti- Christ. Lord let it not be so!
