Voting day is coming up for most...however I voted a month ago..absentee..and I just have to vent..the beauty of a blog...I can say what I want to everyone and no one in particular at the same time...I dont' have worry about offending or defending...freedom of speech and all.....
Sorry folks, I don't just vote conservative or liberal, republican or democratic; I vote God, I vote BIBLICAL Principles. I am sick of seeing plugs for Obama on various websites and blogs...yeah, I know, "but I'm military" my friends say...yeah, but I'm a Christian first. God's word says to honor him FIRST..and I have to have faith that he will take care of the rest.....he wants us to turn to him, and TRUE...GOD already knows how this election will turn out but he wants us to fall to our knees before HIM and ask...and have faith...and give HIM an opportunity to answer prayer.When you don't at least ask...you're good as saying "I don't' need you" or "I don't think you can do anything about it" or better yet, you prevent God from working a miracle or blessing you...
Also, for those people voting Liberal...you do understand what is at stake here don't you? You do understand that the Supreme Court could quite possibly be as Liberal as the House of Representatives if Obama wins on Tuesday...the Supreme Court judges that are due to be replaced this term CANNOT be appointed by a Liberal president, because YES they will be Liberal as well, which will swing the Supreme Court way off to the left. Many analysts predict the next president will nominate 3 Supreme Court judges in the next four years. These judges will let child predators, killers and illegal immigrants have more rights then their victims and American citizens.
Dear Friends,
A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating...
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100% rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 "Go and make disciples of all nations." This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ...
1. Commitment to the White Community2. Commitment to the White Family3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it's a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 "Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
Then God says
"When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles." When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king." (1 Samuel 1:18-22).
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?

{Do you agree that we are currently facing one of the most pivotal times in history?I know I do, and boy I wish I'd paid better attention in in Political Science in high school... We have two presidential candidates on opposite ends of the spectrum, and everyone has his own opinion of pros and cons on each side.
In our society somewhere along the line it has become acceptable to lie, cheat and steal. Where is the public outcry against this sorta' behavior? Yet in a presidential candidate this kind of unethical behavior is written off as “politics.” We don't this kind of stuff to go on within our families or in the work place do we? Why would we overlook these things in a future president? These kinds of things are only a flash forward of one’s true character and things to come.
We have all asked ourselves, “What is important to me?” without asking, “What is important to God?” We are to love the things that God loves and hate the things that God hates. We aren’t suppose to be Sunday benchwarmers but live by the example that Christ is to us. “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:12) (link below of Obama making fun of the Bible) Click to watch...
How do we know how God would want us to stand on certain issues today? The same issues we face today have happened years and years ago. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) I would like to think that we are much smarter today...God’s Word contains the answers for our economy, foreign affairs....just seek HIM and seek HIS word.

This Christian Conservative, Straight Ticket voting Republican says AMEN. Good stuff here. Since I didn't get my lazy self switched over to LA and didn't vote absentee, I will be traveling to Texarkana tomorrow to vote and will be glad to do it.
This says it all for me: This was played at church yesterday:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqs_tRWFdKU
It amazes me how ADULTS cannot get the whole story BUT lets ask some of our youth who they should vote for or who they did vote for in the many mock elections and you would be surprised! My 11 year old came home from school talking about the mock election. I asked her who she voted for and she looked me straight in the face and advs me that she voted for Mccain b/c he was the only one to vote for and that anyone who voted for Obama was just not american! Amen Thank God! I have raised that kid right so far! I think!
Oh, I hope those who were voting for Obama read this prior to Nov. 4th. What are the next four years going to be like?...Scary...perhaps God has let this take place to teach us a lesson...
Well said Kelly!!! Christians need to stand up for what they believe and stop letting the world tell us what to do. I honestly believe they ways of the world have already been brought into our churches and it is time to dust the world out and put Christ back in. If that makes any sense.
Kelly I check your blog periodically and I have to say AMEN to this one. The election has come and gone and Obama is elected, but I still think we as Christians have to continue to pray, pray, pray. I have to tell the story of Randy and I got off the plane the other night and were catching the shuttle to our car. I mentioned to the gentlemen picking us up that I heard it had been a fabulous week in Chicago. He commented that the weather has been Obama. He then proceeded to tell my husband and I about how the weather is better and the gas is cheaper. My husband mouthed the word, blasphamy to me. There are certain people who are acting as if Obama is God and so when you talked about God First, I said yes, we too voted absentee and REPUBLICAN!!!!
