Off the Track

Two Baptist churches in Ohio have joined together to fund Honor Flights, flights that take WWII veterans to Washington DC to see the war memorials. Said the pastors:

The World War II veterans gave us the freedoms that we have enjoyed for the past sixty-five years. We are simply saying thank you.

Their willingness to sacrifice for American values is in perfect alignment with Biblical teachings.

These churches are off the track, biblically speaking. Even if these statements were true (which they are not), since when should Baptist churches--churches that claim to follow the New Testament--get involved in this?
