Justice Sunday II: This Time it's not Justice Sunday I

It looks like I'll be heading over to Two Rivers Baptist church again next Sunday for Justice Sunday II: This Time it's not Justice Sunday I. I will hopefully be liveblogging it in the media center overlooking the sanctuary (how many churches have "media centers?").

I didn't make it to the first Justice Sunday, so I really don't know what to expect. However, I do have to say that I'm not really a big fan of flag-waving churches. I agree with Glen Dean of Nashville Truth who, last week, wrote the following:

I just do not like to see the pulpit used for anything other than leading people to Jesus. I love to discuss politics, but when churches engage in politics to this extreme, it bothers me. I just feel that a pastor’s job and a churches job is specifically to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and lead people to the Lord. The church was not created for those who are well, but for those who are sick. I really wish that churches would get out of partisan politics and get back to evangelism.

Exactly.

Either way, I'm going to go cover the event and provide my opinion. Bill Hobbs will also be there as well as Brittney Gilbert (along with some other bloggers). I just hope that coffee and donuts will be provided in the media center. heh

If you don't agree, then why are you going?

I don't think you or any other conservative bloggers around these parts mind when these flag-wavers get out the vote.

The last time the flag wavers stayed home, we got Bill Clinton.

Hello Anonymous,

Why am I going?

Um...because I'm covering it? Um...because if I'm going to write about it I might as well go see what it's about?

Why did I go to a John Kerry rally if I didn't support him? Why did I go to a TennCare rally if I didn't agree with what they were saying?

Thanks for stopping by.

Zell Miller, Tom DeLay and Jim Daly all in one place in Nashville...? Blake-- I'm so sorry I'm gonna miss this-- should be entertaining, at least. Look forward to your reaction...
