Pro-Life (a redundant posting)

You can't say you're pro-life and vote for Obama. 

According to LifeSiteNews.com, Obama is planning to implement unrestricted abortion in the USA by signing Freedom of Choice Act, which would nullify any state or federal laws blocking or restricting abortion and invalidate any limitations the Supreme Court has put on abortion.

Obama’s Abortion Bombshell: Unrestricted Abortion Over Wishes of Individual States a Priority for Presidency

Politically Incoherent

I am so confused about this election.  I have no candidate that supports my personal political views in the sense of true conservatism.  I feel that John McCain is a moderate who caters so much to moderates and liberals that he has left us in the conservative base unrepresented.  I think that he has been so "politically correct" in his campaign that he has not capitalized on the issues that expose Barak Obama for the liberal oddity that he is.

I couldn't vote for Barak Obama if I wanted to because of the anti-biblical stance he lives. Modern Christianity is so subjective.  You can believe anything you want and still blame Jesus for it.  I know we all fail, especially trying to serve Jesus through politics, but I think there are some big issues out there that are scripturally definable.  Abortion, marriage, homosexuality, religious freedom...

 

I can be a one-issue voter if I must.  Abortion is the typification of all that ills America.  Obama may be more inclined to sign a bill that prohibits partial-birth abortion or preserves the life of a child who survives an abortion if had spent less time listening to the rhetoric that he has surrounded his life with (Wright, Ayers, etc).  McCain might be more attractive to conservatives if he would be one.  Sarah is great, but she's not running for President.

The government is not supposed to do the work of the church but it sure helps our cause if these men who are elected would seek to have some sort of "sensitivity of conscious" to biblical values.  

I could go on but the ACLU might come knocking. 

How you vote matters; in this lifetime, and the one to come.

Our citizenship is being revealed!

Divorce

I am desperately trying to pray through the upcoming sermon series on Divorce.  I have heard a lot of references to divorce in sermons and stuff but I've never heard a series devoted to that topic.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked the folks at HFC to give me some feedback as to the issues related to divorce that had impacted their lives.  Here are some of the topical ideas:

        "Letting go" of my former spouse and discovering the love of Christ.

        A child's perspective on dealing with their parents divorce.

        A parent's perspective in dealing with their children and divorce.

        Abuse and brokenness.

        Lonliness and Depression

Pray for the Lord's prophetic timing and ministry to take place.  If you have any more ideas, let me know.

Monday Again

I'm not sure why Mondays are so hard for me.  I think its because of the draining of my energy and emotions on Sunday that leaves me a little weird on Monday.  I know that preachers "have it made" because they only work one day a week; having it made isn't always easy.

I read some verses this morning that I'll pass along to you.  I didn't have a plan but these thoughts pack together nicely. 

Eph 2:10  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Gal 6:9  Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

2 Tim 1:7  For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and self discipline.

2 Tim 4:2  Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage --- with great patience and careful instruction.

God's kingdom is close; are you ready?
