I'm completely uneasy about the upcoming presidential race. The democrats have a whole mess of people trying to keep Hilary from running away with the nomination...but the only one of them who has a realistic shot scares me even more than Hilary.
That, on the far left, is Senator Barack Obama. He's standing with other leading democrats, while they are reciting the pledge of allegiance. You'll notice that he's not saluting the flag and that his lips aren't moving. In fact, he looks completely disinterested in the entire event.
Don't mistake this note as a Barack bashing session. The problems go far deeper than that. I normally vote republican, but even they aren't offering a candidate that I believe Jesus would vote for if He was walking the streets of Washington D.C. come November 4th, 2008. The Republican front-runner, Rudy Giuliani, scares me almost as much as any democrat on the campaign trail. Giuliani supports abortion, gay marriage and the enlargement of the bureaucracy and socialist programs. I am vehemently opposed to all 3 of those things.
Our judicial system is completely beyond repair at this point. The onslaught of radically progressive judges taking excessive interpretive freedom with the laws this country are founded on has gotten out of control. The way things are set up right now, there is no one who can stop them. Even the Supreme Court, the supposed ultimate authority on law and justice, has essentially washed their hands of these progressive judges and have refused to even hear numerous cases that were in desperate need of overturning. Sad day.
God is sovereign and I know that His will be done in America and everywhere else. That being said, I am genuinely scared that we as a country are digging our own graves. We have told God to screw off one too many times. I fear that if we as a Christian subculture don't take decisive action to make our voices heard and our opinions accounted for, we will be silenced by the majority.
"Evil flourishes when good men (and women) do nothing."
I guess the point is, pray for America, pray for our leaders and representatives in Austin and in Washington. I don't know about you, but I have failed them miserably in that regard. There are solid, God-fearing public servants working hard to do God's will for this country. We have congressmen and representatives for a reason.
When was the last time you voiced your opinion about anything to your congressmen or representative?
You may have heard all this before, but hopefully you might be spurred on to consider these issues in your thoughts, your prayers and your actions. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.
Be blessed...
