Having said that I would like to point out something painfully obvious that people are overlooking. Jesus was not concerned with politics. Think about that for a second. He did not go through political lines to change the world he lived in. One man doing and living as commanded by God created the greatest movement the world has ever seen, Christianity.
I am not telling you that Christians should not be politically active, I am merely pointing out the Great United States Of America is not mentioned in the book of Revelation. This Country will fall. The fate of this country was decided before it was ever even established. Christians have become so consumed with the Political machine we are neglecting our true purpose.
The fight for pro-life has been lost. We can continue spinning our wheels trying to change the laws, or we can establish ourselves, in our communities, working alternatives. Reach the women struggling in life, the women who feel like they have no choices. Give them direction, purpose, and if they don't know the Lord introduce them.
Christians have been pounding home the idea for years that Teenage pregnancy is a sin. IT IS NOT!!!! Pre-marital sex is a sin, pregnancy is not. Let you who is innocent cast the first stone.
Class division, Those that have sacrificing a majority of earnings to fund special programs for the poor. What have you done to change the economic dynamic in your community? Charity is a part of Christianity. What charitable things do you do? Benevolence funds, homeless shelters with programs to help people get off the street, soup kitchens. There are a lot of opportunities for each of us to make an economic difference in our area. A person receiving an anonymous check from the government can become trapped. It is so easy . More people would strive to better their situation if they had to accept assistance from the community face to face. Some people have no shame and it would not matter to them, but others would feel a sense of personal pride kick in and they would want to better themselves. The answer to welfare reform is to educate and empower people who have the desire to change. As for the wealthy that believe they are getting a raw deal. Everything you own, everything you will ever have truly belongs to Jesus Christ. Are you being a good steward of the gifts you are given. Are you busy building up storehouses here on earth, or in Heaven?
The political arena is full of adulterers, tax evaders, etc. we elect people who are morally not aligned with our thinking and then wonder why we end up with a bunch of crooks. We are not supposed to elect based on a person's personal life. we are supposed to focus only on their media created image and experience. That is what the WORLD wants us to do. As Christians if we are going to be a part of the political machine we need to know the moral fiber and religious beliefs of those we elect.
As for Obama. He is one man. One man came and saved me from this world. He has departed and gone to prepare a place for me. The fate of this country can be learned about in Revelation. My faith is not in this Country I love, But in the Lord I serve. If you love this country begin making a change in your community, Stop waiting for one man and his team to save us. It will not happen.
