Warnock: ‘Nobody Can Serve God and the Military’
'Choose ye this day who you will serve,' said the Democrat

Alana Goodman - November 17, 2020 4:00 PM

Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said in a 2011 sermon that Americans cannot serve God while also serving in the U.S. military.

The newly unearthed comments threaten to complicate Warnock's candidacy in a tight Georgia Senate race: Georgia is home to the fifth largest active duty military population in the country, according to a 2018 Department of Defense report.

"America, nobody can serve God and the military," Warnock said in the sermon delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where he serves as senior pastor. "You can't serve God and money. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time."

"America choose ye this day who you will serve. Choose ye this day!" he added.

And for our next hymn... "Onward Christian Soldiers".

I know this is out of context, but the part which raises the question of whether this is preaching for the Lord (God) or making a political speech from the pulpit (mammon) is that people are openly applauding...

More the sort of thing to be seen at a political rally than in any congregation I have witnessed.

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the clip.

Here's the irony, though. When I was a kid, one way most of the poorer whites and blacks where I grew up saw to to succeed involved going into the service and doing their hitch, coming out and going to college on the GI Bill, or if they really liked what the military has to offer, staying there for long enough to retire from that and going on to another civil service job to pick up a second check in their old age, using the veteran hiring preference with any other preferences genetics may have bestowed on them.
