Raw Story has posted a story and a video about a church sign in Wichita, Kansas denouncing the election of Barack Obama.
The pastor of the church knows that Obama professes to be a Christian, but he insists that "we have a Muslim President" and "This is a sin against the Lord." Placing himself upon the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10), the pastor declares that "The main point of the marquee is to cause the Christians to understand he is not a Christian."
What's the matter with preachers in Kansas? Fred Phelps isn't enough? Now we have Mark Holick. Do they have no shame about bearing false witness? (Ex. 20:16) Have they ever read the sermon on the mount? (Matt. 7:1-5) When are they ever going to discover that the gospel is "good news" (I Cor. 15:1-11) and start preaching about that?

It is truly sad to see so many Christians (and preachers) these days using whatever unethical means possible to justify their agenda, all the while hiding behind the cross. God must be grieved with this kind of harmful foolishness. These firebombs launched from our sanctuaries do nothing but start destructive forest fires. I thought our job was to help people stay out of the fire, not call fire down upon them.
We need to remember what Jesus said to James and John when they wanted to zap all the "heathen" who didn't respond like they thought they should to Jesus. Why do we think this kind of "sign evangelism" is going to attract a hurting person to Christ?
It is time we read what Jesus said. Furthermore, it's time to be a "doer of the word." Maybe then we would have something relevant to say that actually might save a person's life. Now that would be "good news!"
