Dead Iraqi Child
Last Tuesday, I put this picture up above the Anawim motto: "The poor seeking the Lord for deliverance". I got some pretty upset people there. My point was just that Jesus is found among the most marginalized in the world, but it was taken as a flaming-liberal anti-war statement. Well.... okay. I can take that.
So I stood up before the 40 plus people and said, "I understand that some of you were offended by this picture. I just want to let you know that if you were offended by this, that you should probably leave now because you haven't seen anything yet."
Then I launched into my sermon about how the church has been compromised by the world.
We'll see if anyone shows up next week.
