I saw this one live, and it single-handidly illustrated my problem with some evangelicals…
Dr. James Kennedy delivers sermons at Coral Ridge which are broadcast to 3 million homes. He said he knows of no timetable for God’s wrath, but wants results fast.
He dismissed the concerns of people who worried about the impact of Christian conservatives on the U.S. government.
“Repent,” he said with a laugh. “Repent. That’s what I’d say.”
People who are concerned about the influence of Christianity “have never really surrendered their life to God and submitted themselves to his commandments — and if they did that they wouldn’t have so much concern about some court saying again that it’s wrong,” he said.
Asked about the millions of Americans who are not Christian, or have a different interpretation of Christianity, Kennedy said with another laugh: “I couldn’t care less. It’s true.”
“I think that the idea that the worst sin that somebody can commit is to offend somebody is ridiculous,” he said.
