Baptist in the Media

By Danny Burch
WOW.... in case you missed it... Richard Land with the Southern Baptist Convention was on Good Morning America on ABC with radio host and Mormon, Glenn Beck. In response to presidential candidate Mitt Romney's speech where he claimed to be not campaign as a religious figure and states that no candidate should. Problem is, he is a devout Mormon. What was important about this conversation was Diane Sawyer in her own way was trying to stir up some controversy and she asked Richard Land he he believed Mormons to be Christians. Without hesitation he said, "No I do not." In the media in the past we have had leaders who have said they were Christians receive the same type of questions and answer in a less than desirable way. Take a note of this because because it should help as an example to us. The Bible says that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Be careful with other religions outside of Christianity because the Jesus they talk about is probably not the same Jesus of the Bible. Our Jesus died and rose again. Our Jesus walked on water. Our Jesus was sinless. Our Jesus is God.

    Woo hoo! Get it Richard Land! Most people would have waffled on their answer so as not to be politically incorrect! Thank God he didn't...

Something to say?
