"The Cross and the Flag"

With the election season fast approaching, the rhetoric has been turned up to epic proportions. The candidates, the pundits, and the putzes would have us believe that if we disagree with their world view, than we are stupid, useless excuses for human beings. Am I overstating the case? You decide. During this season, I quote Bono (as I often do) who said, "The Left mocks the Right. The Right knows it's right. Two ugly traits. How far should we go to try to understand each other's point of view? Maybe the distance grace covered on the cross is a clue." That is absolutely heavy. Anyway, in the spirit of finding the via media, the middle way, the (dare I say it) "extreme center," we are starting a new sermon series on August 17 entitled "The Cross and the Flag: Christianity and citizenship." It is going to be a provocative series. Check it out if you're in the area. Here's the commercial.
