There are a lot of Christian Americans talking about some impending doom for our country. I guess I'll buy that, but I'm not so sure it's directly related to Barack Obama's election. Do I think our country is in trouble? Yeah, but we've been in trouble for a while.
God stopped being this country's leader a long time ago. I think that's when we got into trouble. Money is the god of this country. But what about abortion? Oh, yes, that is an egregious sin that is sure to be judged, but it is a symptom of the larger problem. Babies are essentially sacrificed to the god of money. And it should be noted that a lot of Christians that are in an uproar are screaming louder about the socialist views of Obama than his lack of respect for the sanctity of life. Everyone whose complaints I've read is VERY concerned about their money being spread around. I have no money, so I'm not as worried about it, but I do disagree with the socialism. The point is, though, that even a lot of Christians are upset for the wrong reasons.
Here's a great quote from my friend, Matt: "the reaction by many is sad...they say that their hope is in the risen King yet they show that their hope is in a fallen king." Yes, it is sad. God really is in control. It's not just a cool saying we throw around to hide our frustration. Like him or not, Barack Obama will be YOUR president and MY president, so please stop saying, "He's not MY president..." unless you're not American, in which case, proceed. Our job is to pray, not moan about it. And no, the way the other side has treated President Bush is not a justification for you doing the same to Obama. Be in it, not of it. God bless America.
I'm Jeff Selph, and I approve this message.
