Romans 12:18 and Hebrews 12:14 are verses that encourage us to pursue peace with all men as much as possible.Although the burning of the Koran, which a pastor in Florida is promising to do on 9-11, is legal and we should defend his right to do it based on the First Amendment, it is also unnecessarily offensive and should be criticized by all Christians. Just because something is a right constitutionally, does not make it right morally or civilly.
I criticized the proposal to build a mosque near ground zero for the same reason. It is their legal right to build that mosque, yet it is offensive to build it so close to a place where Americans mourned the loss of so many lives at the hands of Muslim extremists.
Training and networking leaders to disciple nations and transform culture. Romans 12:2,21; "Be transformed....(to)...Overcome evil with good."
