REvrant 36.8 - Church "Obama" Sign Causes Big Controversy
Small Church's Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy - Greenville News Story - WYFF Greenville.
It’s pastors like this who undermine the credibility of the pastoral calling.
In an apparent attempt to stir controversy and garner headlines, a pastor in South Carolina misused his church sign to suggest a link between Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama. The sign reads: "Obama, Osama, humm, are they brothers"
The pastor took the matter to his church for a vote, once he started receiving negative feedback. Sadly, the church voted to keep the sign as is. The pastor made a vain attempt to sound humble – in response to the question, “is Obama a Muslim?”…the pastor said, “I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. But I don't know.”
The pastor needs to return to his first calling – proclamation of the Gospel – and he also needs to take Senator Obama at his word. Obama has repeatedly said he is NOT a Muslim. He says he is a Christian and that he believes in Jesus. Pastor Roger Byrd needs to stop acting like a child and take down this ridiculous sign.
MHR...Amen to your comment! But the real reason I'm writing is to say I love the new picture of you and Jan. Jan looks as adorable as ALWAYS....and did you get a new haircut?
