East Texans Sound Off On Church Sign

Since the sign went up at Woodland Hills Baptist Church, we have been flooded with emails and phone calls from many of you. A majority of the comments we received have been against the sign but in this report we want to give you a balance of both sides as we share some of your words.

Sarah writes, "...I understand and agree with what they are saying on their church sign. They are not condemning the people of New Orleans. They are simply not condoning the sin in the city of New Orleans. New Orleans is a wicked city..."

C.L. writes, "You expressed shock that a church would express God's disappointment and possible judgment on New Orleans. Have you read the Bible? Jesus in my Bible will return with a flaming sword, not as some milk toast hippie!!..."

And this viewer writes, "I believe he is correct, if a person is a Christian and reads the Bible it is clear this was an act of judgment on this country, not saying all in that area are sinners nor all that died are sinners, but the innocent suffer sometimes with the guilty... God's judgment is on this country and it is only going to get worse. I do not believe the Pastor meant to offend anyone, it is merely and greatly a needed wake up call for all!!!"
