The New President and VP

We appear to have elected Barack Obama and Joe Biden to the Presidency (there still is the formality of the Electoral College, but in reality it is a done deal). I do not mourn or fear the placing of these two men per se.

Barack and his wife are a family that represent family values. As an American I cherish the right to defend his right to worship God (by what ever definition Barack has) and I will take up arms to protect that right. I pray he will uphold his constitutional obligation to do the same.

Individuals with opinions that I oppose are spread far and wide throughout the Offices of America. What burdens me is that their agendas co-incide with ballot measures throughout the state and local voting. The People at large have spoken in majority to say:
1.Assisted suicide is becoming welcomed, not a crime.
2.Abortion is not only legal and paid for by tax dollars, it can happen after live birth.
3.Same sex marriage is to become normal.
4.Soldiers are to police social-agendas, and hate-crimes, but not fight wars.
5.Wealth belongs to everyone, without regard to contribution.
6.Crime is a state of mind. If you were insane or the state doesn't mind, it wasn't a crime.

God used Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt to burn Israel to the ground, mass murder it's people, and carry off huge numbers to captivity when they forgot Him. When they remembered and repented, He allowed them to return to the burned rubble and rebuild. Israel had promises of a Nation and a People. America has no such promises.

If America chooses to ignore Jehovah, cast His name off our buildings, money and laws, if we decide to turn our collective backs on what He has done and how He brought us here...

The concern is much more than two men in the White House.

Sworn to Service

I sent some greeting cards out a few weeks ago to some service
members (two girls, one guy) who are family of our church. After
watching the Gene Hackman/Owen Wilson film "Behind Enemy Lines"
I was inspired to think of some Bible verses in military context. Since
the Bible uses military illustrations I figured it would be okay.

Sitting here now, as I write seeing returns come in, too soon to know
anything I thought it might be good for us all to remember what
Jesus said. (paraphrased by me), Matthew 10:16

"Make no mistake, I am putting you in harms way, watch each
others back. You will need the stealth of a python, but the diplomacy
of a small bird."

In a crowd of angry armed men, standing alone, Jesus said, (in effect)
that He could have instantly called for cover fire, and I do mean
FIRE of the brimstone type, but willingly walked into the enemies
stronghold.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We are and have been behind enemy lines all
of our lives. Our citizenship is in Heaven, this is not our Home.
This world hated our Master, and will hate us. 'People and politics'
come and go so while the day is still light, take Jesus to people who
need Him. The rest is just smoke & vapor.
