Those who have known me any length of time should realize that I have a strong dislike of mixing religion and politics. If you look back in history, every time the (Christian)Church became a part of the political landscape, it was ultimately a disaster for both the Church and the government. Governor Perry’s apparent campaign to “out” the President as an enemy of the Church is appropriate only in that our elected government has, in recent years, shown hostility to the Christian Church, and seems bent upon de-legitimizing the Church and the values it confesses.
Having said this, I also find the President’s apparent need to “prove” his Christianity by attending services for the first time since Easter to be highly distasteful. There is a saying which has been around for many years, which says that if you have to tell me just how “good” a Christian you are, then perhaps you aren’t as good as you believe yourself to be.
To top it off, the minister’s treatment of the Gospel text set for yesterday, and as described by the article, was atrocious! It was the sort of thing you would expect from one who sees Jesus of Nazareth as a good moral teacher, rather than as the Savior of all Creation.
