Hello all.
So sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I was gone after Christmas and then had my wisdom teeth removed and have been busy ever since. I no, excuses do not get me far, so hopefully this post will make up for it!
I got lucky with the snow today and got out of class to watch the inauguration of President Obama.
As some of you know, and I'm not ashamed to say, I did not vote. Now, many have told me that was wrong and that it was an abuse of a privilege I was given. Realizing this, I simply tell them I have a thankful heart for that privilege but I simply chose to bypass it for a bigger reason.
That reason is because I do not want to have a heart and mindset that depends on the government to fulfill the purposes given to the Church and for Christians to accomplish.
With all that said, the reason I write this blog is to give props to the new president and a hopeful suggestion to my fellow believers.
First, props to President Obama for having big ambitions for our country and for embarking on a peaceful mission. I love that he talked about feeding others in other countries as well as ending poverty here in America. I also look forward to seeing him push the ploticians in DC to do the same. I know that he has big hopes, but if we take on this mindset, then change will take place.
That brings me to the suggestion, rather a proposition. May we as Christians be on the forefront of the peaceful efforts. May we as Christian step up and shine light, shine hope, and shine a bright future for others who sit in hopelessness. I believe that we as Christians should be the ones whom the government simply follows, as we all follow Christ. Hopefully we can be that change in America that Barack keeps talking about.
May Barack Obama lead our country well, but may Jesus Christ lead our lives and let us abandon all else.
Adam

good job............too many Christians are ready to throw in the towel, but the Bible tells us :
ReplyDeleteRomans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
He hasnt been knocked off the throne....He is in control..............
But you really should vote...every vote gives an account of where we stand as a people, and right now the wacko agenda votes and gives an appearance that we like what is going on......
