It's De Ja Vu All Over Again--Are We Going to War with Iran?

This week, it seems that the Bush administration has cranked up the imminent threat rhetoric in regards to Iran. Vice President Cheney today used some of the exact same language about Iran's potential nuclear program as he did about the non-existent nuclear program of Iraq. My frustration and fear levels are rising--frustration that the media, Congress, etc. seem to be taking no notice --frustrated that once again Christians who serve the Prince of Peace are ready to break out their Bibles and support another unnecessary war and frightened because if it happened before it can happen again.

Before I was able to articulate and express my own feelings on the matter and thoughts about what Christians should be doing in response, I read the most recent blog post from Brian McLaren. So, instead of offering an inferior parroting of his words, I'll just post the link to his words of challenge to where things seem to be headed with Iran. Click here to read what McLaren says, and then pray hard that we don't have another irresponsible and unethical war on our hands.

Grace and Peace,


Chase
