Folks, there has been some publicity recently about a small church in Florida who is going to have a Quran burning this coming Saturday. As emotionally satisfying as such an exercise may be, it is a bad idea. Burning the Quran will not advance the Kingdom of Heaven, it will not show the sinners their sin (the second use of the Law) and it does not demonstrate the Love of God for his creation.

In addition to the above, there is this. Read it and give it some thought.

On the political side, the public burning of these books will accomplish nothing, and may well place Americans around the world at increased risk. This strikes me as a bad idea.

All in all, while the pastor and congregation of Dove World Outreach Center have every constitutional right in the world to burn whatever books they wish to burn, Good judgment dictates that they instead pray that our nation will repent of its manifold sin.

One response to “Burn the Quran?”

  1. Alan K. Henderson says:

    The closest historic parallel would be the Iconoclasts, who perceived the veneration of icons as a form of idolatry. The big difference is the Iconoclasts destroyed someone else’s property.

    In the Book of Acts, we don’t see Paul buying figurines of Greek deities and destroying in the public square. I think it’s a safe bet he wouldn’t support the Koran burning.

    Now, if Pastor Jones commissioned a painting of a burning Koran, he might be able to swing NEA-funded exhibitions, just like Andres Serrano did.
