What is a picture of this guy doing on my blog, you may ask? I don't know if you saw the news, (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070627/ap_on_en_mo/tom_cruise) but it seems Germany wants nothing to do with Tom and his wacky Scientology. He was in town to film a movie when the government recognized the deceptive nature of his religion and pulled the plug on production. Government in action, way to go! This gives validity to the sermon I preached a few months ago when we were in our series on cults. It doesn't take a whole lot of study to discover the comic book nature of Scientology. Don't forget, L. Ron Hubbard was originally a science fiction writer who just kept on writing when he created Scientology.In our town there is a controversy brewing on the upcoming Padres game that simultaneously promotes "Kids floppy hat night" and Gay pride. (See the front page of today's Union Tribune or visit www.signonsandiego.com and navigtet to "Today's Paper.") Nice timing on that one Padres. Pastors I know personally are fighting this one and I plan on joining the fray.
Yesterday I took a group of people from out of town up to Mt. Soledad. I got to show them the cross and explain how a small group of extremely vocal atheists and mostly non-Christians have managed to push their agenda and potentially see the cross come down. It's the same thing the the minority Gay community has managed to do, push their agenda on mainstream America. I believe it is our job as Christians (with love, not hate that is unfortunately usually associated with Christians voicing their opposition to the Gays) to push back.
