It seems like every presidential election I get asked whether a particular candidate is THE anti-christ. Let me start by saying I do not believe Obama is that guy (or gal to be fair). Jesus talked about there being many "anti-christs" not just one. Some people believe there will be one that will bring a false peace to the world, I am not so sure. In the end Obama is just another guy!! He has no special powers except for the ability to stutter through a speech and convince people that he is a great orator in spite of his odd pauses. Great orator or not I am fearful.
He will bring change in many areas, my fear is that they are all the wrong ones. Unborn babies will continue to die, and perhaps even those who are born alive (survivors of abortion) may be in danger. This is truly sad, and even tragic! As I sit here and write this on November 4th 2008 I have a hard time writing any more. Of all the issues the issue of abortion is by far the most significant. I don't want to use inflammatory language, but abortion is in my opinion murder except for the case where the mothers life is in danger.
Foreign policy is one thing, even the socialistic ideas can be debated, but abortion, abortion is what it is. We are destroying what is human and we are doing intentionally with premeditation. Take my guns, take my money, force me to have whatever health care you want, but please do not kill the babies of America.
I hope I am wrong, but I can see a day coming where we will be forbidden to preach certain parts of the Bible because they are offensive. Our free speech will be taken away, and perhaps we will become an America the founding fathers would not even recognize. In the end I am a citizen of heaven before I am a citizen of the United States of America. This life I live here will end, but my eternal life will be in heaven with Jesus and I believe with all of those aborted babies.
Whatever happens I am committed to living for Jesus and raising a family that lives for Jesus. I am proud of my daughter for the her performance at the talent show. I am proud of her desire to tell her friends about Jesus and I hope my son will follow in his big sisters footsteps. I will encourage them to speak the truth even if it becomes illegal to do so, and the day I am forbidden to preach any passage of scripture is the day I begin my plans to do that very thing. I don't want my kids to rebel against God, but if they need to rebel against the laws of man in order to follow God, then so be it.
Ok, now I need to put things in perspective for my sake and yours. There have been terrible men in power throughout history. It is my opinion that Obama will be bad for our country, but he is no Hitler, Nero, or even a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He is just wrong on some very important issues.
Though I do not understand their motivations, I know several godly people who voted for this man. I wish the outcome was different. It is not. I will worship Jesus and live in America.
