WHY IS CLINTON HERE? - Statement from Bill Hybels and Willow Creek Elders

I'm not denying the fact that there are many very patriotic American Muslims who are just as horrified as any other American that mass murder would be justified in their deity's name...

...but for those who hate us to utilize a Christian church (where they normally would not even consider attending) in order to try to slap US in the face is no less than reprehensible!

(Get your smelling salts, Miss M....I think we may actually agree on something here.)

Yes, we agree!! Amazing, but true!!

Personally, I think most people instinctively know that this is wrong, but many are too timid to stand up to a pastor.

But things have changed over the last few weeks. I will bet that if he tried to get Clinton to come back, there would be a revolt in the congregation.

I will tell you that I once left a mainline denomination with some other people and started a splinter church because we had a pastor that insisted that Jesus had girlfriends! I do not like the pulpit used for anything but preaching the Gospel, and I resent the attempts to inflict lame sociological claptrap on congregatiions. Because pastors speak with the authority of the pulpit, they often intimidate people and I think this is wrong, wrong, wrong.
