NotYourDaddy:
I paid a visit to your blog and was impressed. You make some very good points. While I agree with probably all your positions (I read it late last night), I might add some of my own thoughts as a deeply “faith-led” Christian.
I don’t think we can afford, at any time in our lives – but especially in these somewhat more perilous times – to be a people without faith. If we have established a knowledge of – and a trusting relationship with – our Creator, we will be able to withstand whatever challenges we might face in life.
This is the evil of Obama’s solution: he makes government our god. He cheats man of a reliance on himself and his walk with his Creator. And government will not always be there. But God will.
Rather than look to the “world” in times of need, if man turns instead to the One who has “known us before we were born” and “has counted every hair on our head”, we might find that the very horrible situation we’re in will, in fact, be our greatest blessing. How? Because in relying on Him, we have allowed Him to work in our lives as never before. Our faith in – and love for – Him are only increased.
There is another evil that Obama’s “church” and his own intention to redistribute wealth cause. They encourage covetousness and envy. And so long as those are swirling within one’s heart, worldly solutions are only temporary. There will still be a void; a need not yet filled.
The times we live in are perilous. And Obama is clueless. It is the couragous, self-reliant, faith-filled middle American who has seen our nation through some very tough times in the past. God bless and keep him. We’re going to need him in the months and years ahead.
