Abortion and Obama: He Doesn't Have a Clue, but Kill The Babies Anyway !

When asked the question: "At what point does a baby get human rights , in your view ?"

Senator Barack Obama answered: (hesitation) "Well, you know I, Uh, I think that , whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or, uh, a scientific perspective, uh , answering that question with specificity , uh, you know is, is uh, above my pay grade."

He has absolutely no idea what his own view is ? His own view on this is above his own pay grade?
You mean he's never thought about it and come to a personal decision as to whether a human baby has the right to life at any stage of development? If I take him at his word then I am left with this conclusion:

He doesn't know at what point a baby should get human rights, but he's willing to sacrifice them anyway. He, a professing Christian , says he's not sure at what point a baby should get the right to life but he's willing to err/make a mistake on the side of killing them in their mother's wombs.

You would think, that a professing Christian, knowing that he will literally stand before God on a day not of his choosing, would not want to be standing there saying " well, I uh, wasn't sure, uh, that is to say I, uh, could not decide with specificity , so I , uh , upheld and went along with the decision to murder tens of millions of innocent babies."

Abortion : Where Do The Candidates Stand ?

In light of the coming election it's time to bring up the issue of abortion. In this post, when I use the word abortion I am referring to the deliberate killing of a baby human, a child, while it is yet in it's mother's womb. There have been over 40 million of these killings since 1973.

Senator John McCain opposes it.

Senator Barack Obama supports it.

Senator McCain answered: (zero hesitation) "At the moment of conception"

These quotes are precise, word for word quotes which I took from watching and listening to the video on CNN. I won't make comment for now but let the statements speak for themselves.

Oh Brother, Here We Go !

Some pollsters and spokespersons for the left/liberal elements of the democrats are now telling us that if Obama doesn't win it's because white people don't want a black man to be president. And apparently a lot of people on the left are making statements to the effect that if there are independents or even democrats who won't vote forObama it must be because they are racists. It's coming from all over the last few days. And they are accusing the McCain campaign of being racist because in one of their ads they happened to have 2 black faces,Obama and Franklin Raines, who we now know had a part in the bad handling of Fannie Mae and has been one of Obama's chief economic advisers after walking away with a fortune. That's just the tip of the ice berg. Many are now jumping on the racist bandwagon. If you don't vote for the black guy you must either be an "idiot" or you're a "racist". You can see it coming. They've got their big excuse all prepared in advance in the event thatObama doesn't win. Some people on the left are taking it even farther, saying that if he does win, he will probably be assassinated which kind of makes me think they are trying to make him into some kind of martyr now. Enough of this already !The people saying these things and the ones who believe it are the ones who are stirring up the tension between races in this country. they just can't let a man stand or fall on his own merit. It just has to be all about his race. Maybe it's their way of trying to guilt trip people into voting forObama . I hope you (whoever actually reads this) aren't planning on voting for a candidate because he is or isn't a certain skin color. God have mercy on us if that is now the way we choose our leaders.

Righteous Leaders

In a previous post (Righteousness Exalts a Nation ) I shared from God's word how righteousness and unrighteousness can affect us as individuals and as a nation. Today I wanted to just share a short word on leadership and how that connects with being righteous.


Prov. 29:2 "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan. "

Some people are diminishing the role of proven character in leadership and opting instead to lift up people into leadership who promise them the world. But according to God, you shouldn't choose who will lead according to what they claim they will do for you, but instead you should pray for God to raise up leaders who are righteous first and foremost. whether in the home or in the community and nation, we need righteous leaders who will stand for what is right in God's eyes both in their public and personal lives and let the chips fall where they may.

Now, if I've raised a few questions in your mind feel free to leave a comment. I will continue with this topic in subsequent posts until I feel I've said enough. Just try to make your comments short and to the point. Thanks !

One Man's Testimony

I appreciate this man's stand. He is not sarcastic, cynical or disrespectful. His message cuts through the hype with the conviction of one who knows what he's talking about because he's lived it. This man has the heart of a selfless warrior. One who was willing to lay his life down not with words in a lofty speech but with deeds. Those deeds and sacrifice give him authority on the subject of his message. Please listen to the end and feel free to leave a comment. Please keep your comment brief and to the point.

A VP That Cares About The Real You

The Republican VP candidate Sarah Pallin was recorded on video in her home church in Alaska earlier this year and some of her statements have some people a little upset. I will paraphrase one of her statements to shorten it without changing it's message. She basically said that she can (and does I might add) work hard as governor to get various things done to benefit the people of her state but none of it does any good if the people of Alaska don't get their hearts right with God.

You know what ? She is absolutely right ! Jesus said in Mark 8:36:" For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?"

As a leader she recognizes that she has a job to do in serving the people but her hearts cry is for those people to come into right relationship with God.

Some people think it just terrible that she , a politician, would honestly care about our souls and not just our physical lives. She can't help it . She's a genuine Christian and genuine Christians care about the souls of people because the soul is the real you that has an eternal destiny.
Seems a bit strange that anyone would be offended by such caring. Especially other professing Christians!

Righteousness Exalts a Nation.....

In the Bible it says : "Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people." Prov.14:34

In a paraphrase of that verse it says:"God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak." I have certainly experienced this truth both ways in my personal life and I believe our nation has also. When we as a nation have humbled ourselves before God and turned from our own self-serving ways to honor Him and seek His righteousness, He has kept His word and brought blessing on us and we have been exalted as a nation. But when we have turned to our own way and avoided or ignored Him then we have grown weak and become disgraced. Now, as never before we need to be humbling ourselves before God, acknowledging our personal and corporate sins of commission and omission, turning our hearts completely back to Him through the one way that He has given to pardon us and bring us into right relationship with Himself. That way being the cross of Christ. There is yet room for mercy and healing both personally and nationally if we will do this but the day is getting shorter and He will not delay His coming forever.

The Night Is Coming

The title of this blog is inspired by the words of Jesus to His disciples in the Book of John.

John 9:4 We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over.

The posts here may cover many areas of life and many issues but it will always be the goal of this writer that in everything I will work for the One who sent me here while there is still time.

Jesus Is Returning ! Knowing that, how shall we now live ?
