The image on the left is from last evening's gathering over at Jerry's House of Non-Political Activity. The picture below is a fake, touch-up job, provided me by a friend. The space in between the two pictures may be the best symbol of all...the dwindling distance between church and state.
The Stand for the Family Rally at Two Rivers wasn't billed as a political rally. Dr. James Dobson pointed out that the institution of marriage has been the basic social unit for 5,000 years and shouldn't be thrown onto "the ash heap of history". Although I agree that the nuclear family unit needs all the help it can get and that church sanctified marriage should be a societal foundation... I have often questioned whether or not the government should have any say in something that the church and the Bible clearly identify as something that God ordains. And, this morning, I question even more the appropriateness of an American Flag backdrop masking the cross and waters that adorn the wall behind the choir loft at Two Rivers Baptist Church. If this wasn't a political event, then why wouldn't the picture with the Christian flag be more appropriate in a house of worship?
