Introduction
Louis Theroux’s coverage of Westboro Baptist was some of the most interesting work that he has done. These were the skewed fundamentalists whom everyone loved to loathe a few years back (especially other fundamentalists such as myself). Like the snake-handlers of the Carolinas, they were an embarrassment—having become infamous through being crudely contemptuous.
Nevertheless, they were also vulnerable human beings with a very interesting timeline (so to speak).
The initial instalment from Theroux was especially interesting, as the young, sensitive descendants of the leader were juxtaposed to the unreasonable, frumpy, recalcitrant patriarch. Apart from the sheer entertainment factor of the young gals being pulled between the patriarch and an attraction to Louis, the core of Westboro’s flaw was deftly exposed.
Moreover, this warning against hostility/bitterness was exacerbated as the years rolled on. The group managed to grow worse and worse with time—unto an explosion within the original circle.
We’ll revisit them later; let’s now rather swiftly focus on their core problems. For with the violence engulfing Western politics, some lessons are begging to be proclaimed. Great swathes of the left and the right seem to have become proverbial members of Westboro Baptist.
In the midst of criticism and controversy, any doctrinaire may become hostile and bitter. Yet, if that’s where we find ourselves, then we’re in a period of weakness—and not of strength. It wouldn’t be a time to lead a ministry but rather a time to retire and refresh ourselves through the gentle sustenance found within God’s Word. If we can’t handle the heat of service without growing hostile and bizarre, it’s probably because we’re not truly serving….
And if I dole out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I shall be burned, but am not having love, I am not at all benefited. -- 1 Corinthians 13:3
Such bitter vehemence is in violation of many clear Scriptures. For example, Paul wrote:
Let all bitterness and rage and anger and clamor [or, angry shouts of dissatisfaction] and slander be removed from you*, [along] with all malice. -- Ephesians 4:31
Occasionally however, for a short season, servants of Yahweh may be called upon to be bold and brazen. For Paul wrote a few verses earlier...
Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another; be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil... -- Ephesians 4:25-27 [Young’s Literal Translation]
There are some pulse-pounding instances where anger is inevitable. So when and how is it okay to be angry? This new translation and commentary of Daniel, chapter 3, seeks to exegete an inflaming occasion in an attempt to provide the answers.
Moreover, many key theological themes are packed
