Investigation of Christian General
Does anyone know anything about Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin? I read this article about him at yahoo and was disturbed and encouraged at the same time.
If you want to really get "upset" read this article by James Carroll. He uses William Boykin as a negative example of a "theology [that] is dangerous now."
I am going to pray for Lt. Gen. Boykin and for the leaders of this investigation, and for James Carroll. I will pray that Boykin didn't say anything inappropriate, and that he has a good testimony. And I will pray that the investigators don't take some things that Believers hold to be true about Islam as misconduct. As for Mr. Carroll, the words of Jesus come to my mind from Matthew 5:44. He commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Mr. Carroll has attacked our God. So we need to pray for him.
