Who's On First

"For the first time, the president will have to be accountable for this war in Iraq," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday. "And he does not want to face that reality."

Say what? President Bush has always spoken clearly about his accountability in this matter. Is there anyone in the leadership of the U. S. Congress who is not so focused on politics that they can see clearly what is happening with current legislation?

It reminds me of the old "Who's On First" routine. Who's really "in charge" of this mess. I'm all for getting out of Iraq. . .right after we win.

God's family of believers often uses this same routine for their operational organization. We need to learn clearly that Christ sets the agenda. God's Word places Him in the Commander (read: LORD) role, just as surely as the Constitution places the President as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces.
