No surprise at all. Doublespeak to get elected.

Oh goodness, what shall we do now? The nation is crumbling as we speak, godlessness prevails, all is hopeless. This might even be too big of a mess for the church (even though the gates of hell shall aren't supposed to prevail against it) and all is lost. Let's all just give up.

Yep, that danged doublespeak. Of course, if he changed his mind on something and took a position you liked, it wouldn't be doublespeak, it would just be a smart president who saw the light, right?

Get a grip, I never said all hope was lost. As I've said many times it is prosperity that is the greatest obstacle for the church. It is in persecution that the church thrives. Which makes sense because many of these bandwagon Christians that American churches are filled with really aren't interested in denying self, and denying wordliness, thus the church is diluted to the world, because from the worlds point of view there are many professing Christians who live just like they do. Therefore the influence of the church in minimized, not because of the gospel, but becuase it is always those who take the name of Christ upon themselves, yet live like the world who hinder the church the most. Yet if they are torturing, beheading, imprisoning, and burning Christians, then church wouldn't be considered some social bandaid, and though the number of professing Christians would be dramatically smaller the influence of Christianity would be much greater. History bears this fact out, and it will be the case during the tribulation.
Don't get me wrong, in the flesh, I rather enjoy not having to worry about someone busting in my house and arresting me, or torturing my family. But in the Spirit I am grieved by modern American Christianity, and also understand that when there is really a cost to be counted, Christianity thrives.
A sinful civil government cannot destroy the church, nor can persecution, in

Quality rant against The American Church, but maybe I didn't articulate my point well enough. I'm merely saying, what difference does it make what Obama says about gay marriage? It has nothing to do with our commission of going into all the world and making disciples, teaching them to observe all things.
Let's see...what's the rest of that verse?
