America, America, God shed His grace on thee..
My friend sent this out and I am sharing it with you, we all must stand before God someday, please pray before voting.....Brothers and Sisters...
Can you be both Pro-Obama and Christian?
What does it mean to be a Christian? The term is so used and mis-used in our society! Our actions speak louder than words - you simply cannot tell the wheat between the tares! The term actually means “Anointed,” Christ-like, and followers of Jesus. Jesus said that “if we follow Him and Love Him we would hate what He hates and love what He loves” ”…and we would obey His commands.”
With the seriousness of the elections next week, I would like to raise a question that may seem harsh…and may sound down on “Christians.” Please don’t take it personal, but as a loving wake up call. "Iron sharpens iron." We have all made mistakes, “for they know not what they do”…
God will forgive us… “IF we humble ourselves, repent, turn from our wicked ways, and pray.”
I believe the state our nation is in, the economic crisis, the disasters, are all a result of, the complacent, confused, and compromised church! Described in the Bible; “as having the appearance of godliness, but deny the power thereof,” and “lukewarm.” We have lost the Fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of Wisdom, and have fallen away from a Holy and Righteous God, who calls “us Christians” to be Holy as He is.
Over the past 40 years, we have continually pushed Him out of our schools, public places, policies and laws and it has created a downhill spiral. We have closed our eyes and allowed other “issues” to rise higher and more important than the Word of God, (which this country was founded on!) We have done our own thing, for the sake of ourselves, and want God to get behind us.
We are in the last days…There is a shaking…God, who loves to give good things, will no longer blink at our disobedience, we can already see that He is turning His face away and removing Himself from America.
I first want to say I am neither Republican nor Democrat…I am a Christian… Neither Obama nor McCain will be able to pull America out of its struggles….only God. But, He has given us the privilege in America to VOTE.
Does God even recognize what we call “Christianity” today in America? We have compromised our values, our morals and compromised what we “stand for.”
Make no mistake, Your VOTE is what you STAND for…(or against) You will be accountable to God for your VOTE.
I have serious concerns as I listen to other “Christians” say as to what issues are important to them for these elections. Yet, they overlook and ignore the Critical Biblical Truths wavering on the ballot to satisfy their pocketbooks in hopes for a better economy, healthcare, and social security, etc! Jesus said; “ you cannot serve both Mammon and God…you must choose.”
The real “Eternal Issues” here are the things that are clearly in opposition to the Word of God…and the candidates (Obama/Biden) who are in supportive and standing on them. (Especially Abortion, Gay Marriage, Stem cell research, just to name a few.) His election would be devastating to the American Family.
There is a clear line drawn in the sand…This election is about Compromise.
I cannot keep silent…the alarm is going off…wake up….the time is now to make a stand for Righteousness and be counted. This election will shape the next 40 years! As a Christian, I simply cannot vote for Obama/ Biden… I will vote for McCain/Palen as they stand in support of foundational Christian beliefs.
God has given us a remedy to our national crisis and Issues….2 Chronicles 7:14…
You say “God Bless America”…(how can He?)
My prayer is:
God SAVE America! Let there be a Holy Reverence to your Word, Oh God, that returns righteousness to our nation. Help us to VOTE for leaders who STAND for Your Righteous laws. Help us God, you are our only Hope. The “Change” we need in this Nation is not the ‘change of Obama,” it is Mercy and Repentance back to you! Let us not be an “Obama”nation before your throne that results in desolation. May America be found worthy to receive your Blessings again!
Are you truly HIS People? A Christian? Christ-likeness? Then, look to see what side of the line in the sand you’re “really” standing! It is sinking sand! Cross over while you can!
In Christ,
Deb Null

How dare you! Your sanctimonious post makes me sick.
Your facts are wrong. Obama and Biden are not in favor of gay marriage. As far as the abortion issue, well, that is an issue that should be between a woman, her family, and her doctor. Leave it alone.
I am a Christian and I do believe that Barack Obama, who is a Christian (but not a Christian fundamentalist extremist), has our best interest at heart.
WOW! to the above comment. It amazes me how angry people get when they don't agree with you or when you disagree with their views. Their argument is blurred by the anger they spew. Who wants to even listen when they are called names and yelled at, even if it is on line!?
Anyway, I loved your post. I was thinking just today about the fact that people will answer to God when they ignore moral issues to line their pockets.
I thank you for this post.
Blessings
Karen
Funny that I can't access this person's site to have the same "freedom of speech"....
What God said is what matters to me, "let every man be a liar and God be true" so spew on people, I heard what Mr. Obama stands or doesn't stand for unless he changed his mind again? Whatever, the highest priority is the life of a human being and it is listed as one of 7 sins that God hates, not dislikes, HATES.
“There are six things the LORD
hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out
lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19)
Yes, God has indicated that these are things that he despises and that
every wrong is sin -- but He has also provided a remedy:
“‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the LORD. ‘Though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they
are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18).
Let us keep in mind that we are to pray for our leaders and enemies and understand that it is their/our actions that God hates when they are against His kingdom. I pray for all of them and bless you christiandem; thank God we still have the freedom to speak our opinions.
We might lose this freedom if we become an "obamanation"............God save us from ourselves.
Thank you, Karen for your comment.
RaZehell just told me about your site...........thought I'd stop by and read and comment! I appreciate your post (s).......now more than ever we need to hold fast to the Truth, and not shrink back from the uncompromised Word of God in our words AND our lifestyles.
My Hope is built on nothing less than JESUS CHRIST and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!
God bless you, and stay the course! Becky :)
