WELCOME TO THE UN-PC CHURCH!

Just thought those who have been dismayed over PC churches would find what happened at my church today refreshing.
My pastor has been doing a verse by verse study of John.
Well the topic today was "sissy peace-niks"
He started the sermon by reading an e-mail that has been making the rounds and was posted on FreeRepublic.
About how to deal with a peace protester. You know the one, about engaging a peace protester about his no violence
stand by punching him in the nose and when he gets back on his feet you remind him of his position of no retaliation.
And then keep repeating this process until he gets it.
He then used the story of Jesus driving the moneychangers out of the temple

When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with sheep oxen,
and poured out the changer's money and overturned the tables. John 2:15 (NKJ)

He then stated that Jesus wasn't a "sissy, anemic peace-nik" And that as a carpenter he was "built".
In fact just " imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger with long hair" referring also to Jesus.
Lots of Amens
His point being of coarse that there is such as thing as righteousness indignation and there is a time for war.

A time of war
A time for peace Ecc. 3:8.

Lest anyone misunderstand he wasn't preaching revenge,
because that's the Lord's but justice and defense.

PLUS we have 51 flag poles on either side of the drive way entrance to church and in the meridian,
were we fly flags of all the countries that have missionaries that we support financially
Well following 9-11 all 51 flags are the red, white and blue of the United States of America!
Its such a wonderful feeling to drive up to church and see 51 American flags flying in the breeze!

God Bless America
God Bless Pastor Dave

Yall need to stop using this verse to promote our "violence through christrianity" program. Jesus said the world will hate you because the world hate him. Killing christians will become a world wide jubilee in the future. Are you all Holy Ghost filled or filled with Satan power???

Just thank God it's not a mosque preaching the Jihad. This country is built on strong conservative churches and synagogues.

Don't tell me you are a peacenick. Why did Jesus ask how many swords the apostles had? Why did He say, sell your coat and buy a sword? I bet he knew we would need them for more than a manicure.

We have every right to defend our lives and our nation. And who do you think Daniel 11:32 is written to? Who better knows their God than Christians? "And they shall do exploits".

And Satan shall make war with the Saints and overcome them, what kind of war do you think that is? A pillow fight? Let's not be calling those with a God given righteous warrior spirit ashamed of their gift, it is there for a reason.
