 Jesus' like kids (Image by TheChristianAlert.org) Details DMCA | On Feb. 10th, MidAmerica Nazarene University's (MNU) chaplain Randy Beckum gave his morning sermon,saying "As you know two movies came out recently. Selma, the story of one of the 20th century most influential Christian leaders, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led a non-violent movement that changed the course of American History forever. And American Sniper, the story of the most deadly Navy SEAL sniper in American history. Selma has made 29-30 million so far. American Sniper made over 103 million in the first 4 days. Gives you an idea about who our heroes are. I don't think it is an under-statement to say that our culture is addicted to violence, guns, war, revenge and retaliation. Unfortunately, so are a lot of Christians."
He went on to say that we have to "be very careful about equating patriotism with Christianity," and implored his flock to be "controlled by love, compelled by love for everyone." Shortly after Beckum's sermon, it was announced that he would no longer be the vice president of the university's Community Foundation. |
