The "world" does not realize what is going on, but we as Christians do.

Let's keep our Trust in He holds the world in the palm of His Hand.....looking up as our redemption draws nigh!!

You have much wisdom & insight!

Our hope as a Christian was never to be in this world!

Oh well...... .... people are people after all and get caught up in the political systems that rule our world. In a democratic society, the freedom to vote and express yourself freely is of great value.

But we need to never lose sight of the fact that God is SOVEREIGN and that He is over it all! So thankful this is true!

In their worldview, the country has been torn apart because of these and other issues. It is divided because of traditional values and faith and Judeo-Christian morality. Now they talk national unity, and healing and coming together, but that will only come with conditions. They will do what they want and expect for the rest of the 46% of Americans who rejected BO as president to go along for the ride, be silent and accept the will of the people.

Brighter days are ahead. Our nation is in bad shape. We now have a chance for salvation. Its all rhetoric. There may be some token gestures at appearing bi-partisan, but new presidents know if one is going to get much done they have to do it the first year b/c the midterms turn everything political.

I will pray for BO, in fact I have already, but strap on your seatbelts, 2009 is going to be a ride.

I can only say amen to this post.

I do a slow burn when I hear people putting down President Bush. We might wish a thousand times we had him back before all this is over.

I too will pray for BO.......already have done so!

That was part of Obama's speech last night.

As I listened last night, and again today, my understanding was that he was saying that things won't change right away..."The road is long...but we as a people will get there."

You know what?

What the world is wrong with getting a little indigent about what you see going on in your country?
I trust in God, I know God is in control-duh!

But havent we learned ANYTHING from history???
I know I am going to quote this wrong but--did someone say-Bad things happen when Good men do NOTHING? (perhaps someone can give me the correct quote)

Here in Ca. we got very passionate about Prop 8- and it is passing!

I dont want what happened in Canada to happen here!! Hello!

In Canada they can not preach against homosexuality! How did they let that happen?

Looks like people got complacent and did nothing to stop the homosexual agenda from taking over.

Tearing down seem to be a trait with some apostolic. If things don't go their way they Bad Mouth and continue with the hate that has been prevalent since 2000.

Lord help us.

You're not apostolic so what do you care?

and we certainly don't care what you think about us

Jeanie,

You can be indignant about all you like about what you see happening.
Fact is you have to look at things objectively.
A lot of this mess started under the Republicans.
If things were so great under Bush, people would have voted en mass for McCain.
Will Obama be better?
I don't think so.

What is this reference to Canada?
We have had Liberals/Conservatives in power for the past 15 years.

In that 15 years they have had 'Balanced Budgets" & in the past 10 years have paid 80 - 90 Billion on the Government Deficit.

Sound socialist or Republican to you?
Yes we have Gay marriage--so do you.
It is a world wide phenomenon indicative of the end time more than a particular President.

Remember I said that this board was "Bi-Polar?"

Is God coming back?
Yes!
Are things going to go to pot first?
Yes, most likely.
Will Christians face hardships & yes persecution?
Probably.

So, if that is happening, there is not "much" we can do about it.
We can sit and mope or we can try to build a Church with people redeemed for God, knowing that this whole Earth is under God's Judgment!

Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Excuse me, where are your facts?

A comedian was in a nightclub recently & made fun of two Lesbians & took the comedian to a human rights tribunal & LOST!

I admit the day will come when it is illegal, but it ain't here yet.
