Bob Flayhart, pastor of Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, wonders if this isn't part of the message in U2's song 'Get On Your Boots':
So, Church, cry out to Christ to meet this broken world with His grace;
Cry out that He will put on His boots and trample His enemies that
foster hatred and violence. And Church, come join the song and fight
against evil...fight against the violence and hatred...Church, be the
redemptive force in the world you are called to be! Now, do I know that
Bono means all this...not really. After all, he hasn't called me and
talked about the song. But I will say this...what I've written would be
completely in line with the symbolism and poetic layering he has used
in the past.
The rest of the post is here. What do you think?
