A FRIEND OF MINE IN NC SENT AN E-MAIL EXPRESSING DISMAY WITH PRES. OBAMA AND DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE AMERICAN VOTERS. MY RESPONSE:
It's always good to hear from you...even when you're mad!! LOL
Well, this "king" infuriates me, too. And so do the people that voted for this yo-yo. Okay, now that I have that said....
God used to allow idiot kings to take the throne in the Bible, too. Sometimes to teach the people a lesson; sometimes to make things bad enough to draw people to Himself; but sometimes so His people will repent of their sins and get their act together.
I suppose all these can be true of Obama. But let me warn you: it is going to get worse before it gets better.
Did you see how the Republicans in congress--every single one except 3--stood up to Obama. It's about stinking time!!!! Finally, when faced with disaster, defeat, and overwhelming evil, they finally grew a collective backbone, returned to their basic principles, and did the unpopular thing....but the right thing.
That's what Christians can do now. Return to our principles, no matter how unpopular, and speak the truth. Fight the battles. And die if necessary. It's about time for believers to realize the war we are in -- have always been in -- and be the people of God.
This is all a great opportunity for the cause of Christ. Really. So keep your eyes on Jesus. They can take your income, your freedom, and your home, but they can't take Him away!
Praise His Name for this opportunity. Now, if the church will only grow a backbone, too.
“May He give you what your heart desires and fulfill your whole purpose.” -Psalm 20:4

Talking about the church growing a backbone; We can try to make a difference by contacting our Senators and Representatives. It may not do much good, but if we just stand around and gripe, that doesn't get to Washington. Make your voice heard.
"And so do the people that voted for this yo-yo. Okay, now that I have that said.... "
Yea let's elected another war criminal who killed millions and never paid for his aggression. Let elect more of those phony christians and their tax exempt political thinkers.
Of Course Br. Darrill and his store bought degrees likes the cash his non-profit businesses bring in.
Selling Jesus like firewood, you can't tax that either.
How about a special collection Demon Deaton-
for the world wide economic collapse caused by your Texas christian criminals. ?
America does'nt elect Kings-
It protects your right to preach hatred & intolerance. I think the side effects of your Meds is affecting your judgement.
"Did you see how the Republicans in congress--every single one except 3--stood up to Obama."
Talk about country first- the republicans have no love of country or of Christian beliefs- "no mending of brokeness, Oh how quick we forget the real "good news."
"God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou, who has brought us thus far along the way, thou, who has by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path we pray, lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee.
Shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand true to thee, oh God, and true to our native land.
We truly give thanks for the glorious experience we’ve shared this day.
We pay now, oh Lord, for your blessing upon thy servant Barack Obama, the 44th president of these United States, his family and his administration.
He has come to this high office at a low moment in the national, and indeed the global, fiscal climate. But because we know you got the whole world in your hands, we pray for not only our nation, but for the community of nations.
Our faith does not shrink though pressed by the flood of mortal ills.
For we know that, Lord, you are able and you’re willing to work through faithful leadership to restore stability, mend our brokenness, heal our wounds, and deliver us from the exploitation of the poor, of the least of these, and from favoritism toward the rich, the elite of these.
We thank you for the empowering of thy servant, our 44th president, to inspire our nation to believe that yes we can work together to achieve a more perfect union.
And while we have sown the seeds of greed — the wind of greed and corruption, and even as we reap the whirlwind of social and economic disruption, we seek forgiveness and we come in a spirit of unity and solidarity to commit our support to our president by our willingness to make sacrifices, to respect your creation, to turn to each other and not on each other.
And now, Lord, in the complex arena of human relations, help us to make choices on the side of love, not hate; on the side of inclusion, not exclusion; tolerance, not intolerance.
And as we leave this mountain top, help us to hold on to the spirit of fellowship and the oneness of our family. Let us take that power back to our homes, our workplaces, our churches, our temples, our mosques, or wherever we seek your will.
Bless President Barack, First Lady Michelle. Look over our little angelic Sasha and Malia.
We go now to walk together as children, pledging that we won’t get weary in the difficult days ahead. We know you will not leave us alone.
With your hands of power and your heart of love, help us then, now, Lord, to work for that day when nations shall not lift up sword against nation, when tanks will be beaten into tractors, when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid, when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around … when yellow will be mellow … when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."
by Rev. Joseph Lowery
This is the "Good News" your father preached Darril, not the hate speech you sell from your soapbox. It build you a newbuilding but they will be no hiding place from the Father of creation.
One Love,
