Here are a couple final ...Great thoughts everybody! Here are a couple final ones of my own - <BR/><BR/>Adam, you are right that it doesn't matter who is president. My point on #3 is that we still like to hold America as better than other nations because we are Christian nation. But our actions say otherwise. <BR/><BR/>you may be right that God is going to use America to reach the world (even though, I would argue other countries are doing better at it than we are), but the decline that America is seeing also happened to Rome and other democratic based countries. Every democracy declines into apathy and complacency and that is where we are now.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is a remnant - but I'm speaking of the country as a whole.<BR/><BR/>Ted,<BR/><BR/>I see what you are saying. I can see your compassion for people coming through in your vote. Let's pray that President Obama will live up to your perception of him and not mine! :)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, we should "judge him favorably" and leave it in God's hands. Although, if he comes through on his promise to support abortion without any restrictions, i think the church is obligated to speak out against it.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622199877722338679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-49755069727974359112008-11-04T23:56:00.000-08:002008-11-04T23:56:00.000-08:00I have to say I am proud to have voted for Obama. ...I have to say I am proud to have voted for Obama. And I also would have been happy to have John McCain as President. They both strike me as honest leaders who care for people, and who have stated publicly that they are Christians. <BR/><BR/>I am proud of our country for transforming from a racist country to one that can elect a black president. This was not even thinkable a few decades ago. That alone was not a reason to vote for him. But that's why it's even more symbolic. <BR/><BR/>Martin Luther King was a great example for me, and I believe more than any other modern leader exemplified how to be a Christian citizen while under difficult circumstances. Barak Obama is aware of the important historical sacrifices that were made to make it possible for him to be president.<BR/><BR/>Obama is clearly intelligent, but that does not lead him to be pompous or arrogant. He gives people the benefit of the doubt, and he celebrates even his adversaries good contributions. This recalls for me a sermon on this subject recently.<BR/><BR/>I am personally worried about many things, but this country will go on, and we as a country may all have something to learn from Obama in the process about caring for each other.<BR/><BR/>Obama did not create the mess that we're in, however he will have to help us to get out of it. A Christian leader and "community organizer" who actually does care for people, may be just the right person to help people get through this. <BR/><BR/>This is in God's hands, and we can certainly pray for him just as hard as we would have prayed for any other leader. My prayer is that he can use his position to set a Christian example for our nation.<BR/><BR/>There may be those who don't consider Obama to be a Christian. I encourage you to watch the debate with him at Saddleback Church. He was pretty clear about his beliefs in Christ as his personal savior and that he prays daily and that he turns to Christ for guidance and comfort.<BR/><BR/>We as the body of Christ should be praying for him. <BR/><BR/>Ted OmohundroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-85817594599203131842008-11-04T19:45:00.000-08:002008-11-04T19:45:00.000-08:00and im actually adam, i just have no idea how to m...and im actually adam, i just have no idea how to make my name show up :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-17562751882245144062008-11-04T19:44:00.000-08:002008-11-04T19:44:00.000-08:00good post but ill have to disagree on #3.America i...good post but ill have to disagree on #3.<BR/><BR/>America is about to become more christian than it has ever has before...<BR/><BR/>and doesnt matter who the president is because we dont pray to the president and the president doesnt answer our prayers, we pray to God and God answer our prayers. our God is soverign no matter who is in leadership.<BR/><BR/>"That has happened to every democracy that has ever existed and it is happening to us. I look around and I don’t see any reason why God would bless us, except maybe our support for Israel."<BR/><BR/>I would like to point out there is another reason why God has blessed america and why God is about to bless america for a little while longer.<BR/><BR/>when the Asuza street revival happened, many, many, many, missionaries were sent out all over the world,(and i mean ALL over)and there was much blood spilt for the cause of Christ, and God honors that.<BR/><BR/>And God is about to delay his wrath on America because the same thing is about to happen, there is going to be another revival, and many, many, many, more missionaries are going to be sent out all over the world. <BR/><BR/>God has chosen America out of his unmerited grace to be the provider for those risking their lives all over the world for the sake of christ. do we deserve it? no, but thats why its grace, and thats why we should wake up EVERY morning and THANK God we have been blessed to be born in this country out of grace while there is a 10 year old boy in sudan being naled to the wall of a house for his faith in Christ...hmm, maybe we should pray for sudan inbetween tv shows here in america??<BR/><BR/>but as for #9, i couldnt agree more!!! God has really branded this on my heart.<BR/><BR/>There have been many visions and dreams and prophecies all over the world, and what God is saying through them is that pretty much it is in God's perfect and pleasing will to bring a revival to this generation unlike any other generation has ever seen, but guess what? this generation is going to have to pray for it unlike any other generation has prayed, to seek God more than any other generation has sought, and knowing that God desires to give it to us should only encourage us to get even more radical in our prayer lifes! bc i dont care what you think, a radical revival is not going to happen with out a radical amount of prayer behind it, plain and simple.<BR/><BR/>and the enemy knows this. he hates it when we pray, why else do you think its so hard to pray?<BR/><BR/>but yeah pasta p, good post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-66711671881749591422008-11-04T04:42:00.000-08:002008-11-04T04:42:00.000-08:00I would like to just add no matter what happens ar...I would like to just add no matter what happens around us, as far as earthly things go. I see God's protection for my family and I. He's doing things in our lives that our great, regardless of the mess our country is in. I have a great job,healthy and beautiful family,a home,cars that work,God managed time,a wonderful church(with a great pastor and heavenly friends),money to pay my bills. In short God has been blessing us despite whats going on around us. My focus has been on TRYING to live Gods will my for my life and trust in his love,mercy,grace.John T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06969579118187056867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-69521377085725023652008-11-02T19:02:00.000-08:002008-11-02T19:02:00.000-08:00Great Presentation!!!GinnyGreat Presentation!!!<BR/><BR/>GinnyGray Barn Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995513596488134581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-51868321519569371322008-11-02T15:51:00.000-08:002008-11-02T15:51:00.000-08:00Hard to know where to start commenting on this, bu...Hard to know where to start commenting on this, but I especially like what you wrote under #9. <BR/><BR/>Here's about where I am on the issue; and that is to not vote for either of the bad choices we've been handed by the major parties. <BR/><BR/>I'm just coming to the conclusion that the compulsion of too many in the (U.S.) Church to try and change society through politics and the law is missing the mark. Are these the instruments of God for today? Don't we know the culture (world) is going to run counter to God? Media influence aside, our system is, after all, set up so that majority rules. It doesn't make sense to me any more.<BR/><BR/>Should we accept it as the role of a disciple to react to what the culture offers and select the lesser of the evils? What's that?!<BR/><BR/>Let the Church not be conflicted, we need to be pursuing justice on Jesus' terms not on the political and judicial systems' terms. <BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant... I'm running a slight fever. Everyone should vote as they're (prayerfully) convinced in their own heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102324730160505294.post-44167981710655187212008-10-28T21:05:00.000-07:002008-10-28T21:05:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed this post, and I agree with every...I really enjoyed this post, and I agree with everything you said.
