a good methodist

Like a good Methodist Preacher I was reading in the latest version of Interpreter magazine. There is an article in there about a fellow, Dan Merchant who has made a movie called "Lord, Save us from Your Followers."

It has been in a limited number of theatres and will be out on dvd after the first of the year. The point of his movie is that Christians often do very unchristian things. He asks the question, "why is the gospel of love dividing America?" What a good question.

The article ends with a poignant thought, "it's hard to have a conversation with someone when you are really just waiting for your chance to correct them."

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

the United States is such a relatively young country, that one can only wonder whether the intense levels of animosity we see right now in America, will someday lead to "holy wars" in our own country, such as we've seen in some of the more "mature" countries of the world. Right now it's conservative vs. liberal, and muslim vs. Christianity. Something to think about.
