I have been deeply troubled by all this talk about the Confederate Flag at a time when we should be celebrating the testimony of those beautiful Christians that were so quick to forgive the murdering terrorist. At this time, that is what we should be talking about. These wonderful martyrs aren't even buried yet, but we talk about this flag as if it is the most important issue arising from this heinous crime.

What has happened to this once great Christian land, that at one time was unafraid to talk openly of their Christian heritage? That openly spoke about God in the public square? That often and openly invoked God in speeches? These days, we can't even honor the loss of these great martyrs, and celebrate the great testimony of the survivors without interference of some ancillary issue, like this flag. I find it deplorable and deeply troubling. It is a terrible sign for our times, that at a time when ISIS, in the name of religion, is drowning, burning and cutting off the heads of people, that we should be showing the world that Christianity is love, not hatred, yet our media, our President and the national debate is silent on the good that God brings out of this tragedy.

There should be a discussion on the matter of this flag, but it should be at a more appropriate time. First we need to mourn this loss of beautiful life, and we need to celebrate the beauty of Christianity, which was once the glue that held our wonderful country together...
