This week, Pilgrims
Covenant Church launches a response to a campaign by the Madison,
Wisconsin based Freedom From Religion Foundation. FFRF has purchased space
on the inside of Madison Metro buses and posted small messages
mocking God and those who believe in Him. For instance, one of the quotes
is from Clarence Darrow and reads, "I don't believe in God,
because I don't believe in Mother Goose." Another quote used is from
Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion. That quote is as
follows: "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most
unpleasant character in all fiction."
PCC has purchased space
on the outside of eleven Madison buses. For the next month, our
message, as it appears attached to this press release, will cover one side
of each of those eleven buses from nearly wheel to wheel and ground to
windows (144" x 30"). Over the course of a month, each Madison
Metro bus is rotated to a number of different routes in Madison
(including the UW Campus), Verona, Fitchburg, and Middleton; so the
message attached to this press release will be seen and read by a
multitude of people in Madison and the Madison area.
"FFRF has a right to
air their opinion, and we have the privilege to respond with truth from
the Word of God. Yes, I know that Anne Gaylor and Co. mock the
Word of God, but I would encourage them then to at least take a good, long
look at the creation around them. And then they would do well to consider
Romans 1:18-20:
|
'For the wrath
of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for
God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse.' |
"One might
say Gaylor and the other mockers with FFRF are in double trouble.
They not only have the witness of God in His creation around them, but
they also have the witness of God revealed in His Word and have had the
gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them on more than one occasion. John
3:36: 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.'" Pastor
