The American Spectator

p>Maybe Rev. Caldwell would be better served to get to know what is going on his denomination and his 14,000(!!) member congregation than in running web sites to attack James Dobson, or trying to serve as an Obama surrogate. It seems that Rev. Caldwell has forgotten Jesus’ admonition in Luke 16:13 that, “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” I think this applies because a pastor who is so wrapped up in a political campaign that he doesn’t know his own ministry is obviously more interested in serving a politician’s need than doing God’s work. br> — Eric Edwards br> Walnut Cove, North Carolina /p>

Weasels come in all shapes, sizes, and colors I suppose. Reverend Caldwell is proving to be one more weasel. To claim he didn’t know Metanoia was a ministry of his church, to claim he didn’t know the group was listed on the church’s website, how is he any better than Barack Obama who claimed he didn’t know the political philosophy of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright?

Whether anyone agrees with the Apostle Paul’s admonition that those who participate in such acts shall receive just recompense in their bodies is not the issue. Everyone by now should know that God refers to a particular sexual union as an abomination, the strongest condemnation used in Scripture.

The issue is a lying minister who once proclaimed the Name above all other names, Christ Jesus. He did so publicly then weaseled out four years later. If you are a Christian, as Paul would say, defend the faith.

Reverend Caldwell, however, has sold his soul for a mess of pottage. He now denies even knowing what is going on inside his church. Why? Because he in no way wishes to harm our potential weasel-in-chief.

Whether it’s Pat Robertson selling out to the purveyors of the AGW fraud, or lesser lights toning down their message so as not to offend non-Christians, I’m sick of the weasels that have overrun the pulpits of America.

Jimmy Swaggart may have fallen from grace for a time, but at least I know he is one man who doesn’t waffle on what the Bible teaches. Caldwell should hang his head in shame, but I have a feeling the Obama Moment is just too enticing to stand up against him for the sake of Christ’s church.

p>I suppose when it comes to religion and poliltics, Pastor Caldwell has decided to throw Jesus Christ under the bus. br> — Robert McClain br> Baton Rouge, Louisiana
