The public dialog has increasingly become polarizing and violent. With the murder of Dr. George Tiller, and the museum guard, what is the responsibility of the media for their words if those words influence others to take violent action? Why are the words of a Muslim cleric urging hatred of Israel and America "Islamic terrorism", but the words of Rev. Drake, that he is praying for the death of President Obama, or those of Bill O'Reilly demonizing Dr. Tiller as "Tiller the baby killer" not "Christian Terrorism"? Words have consequences, and the words we speak as Christians reflect upon all Christians. Join us for Saying You're Sorry, a sermon that will make many mad.
Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky, was built on the casting floor of a 19th Century iron blast furnace. We use "The Casting Floor" as an image for the power of the Spirit to form us. Visit us at http://communitypresbyterian.org.
