It is official...Obama is our next President. I don't pretend to know all about this man but there are a few truths that concern me as we enter into this new era of United States history.

If you have read anything of this man's past it is a past steeped in education. Though he was raised Muslim he separated himself from the faith of his childhood soon after high school and on into college. While in college he studied quite a few other religions, never really settling on one, but claims common values and concerns with evangelical Christians. This concerns me for two reasons.

1. I would much rather see a man who believes in something rather than everything...we call that Humanism. To believe (whether displayed vocally or by action) that all paths are correct and good as long as it works for that person, is a highly dangerous place to be. The implications of such a doctrine are far reaching indeed.

"You can't do that!"
"Who says? It feels good to me!"
"It's just wrong!"
"Stop pushing your rules on me!"

If everyone finds what works for them then there is no real truth. If there is no truth or constant aside from that which is discovered by each individual than we have just taken one step closer to Socialism. One step closer to the end. "WOW, that's a bit harsh don't you think?" NO I DON'T THINK SO! The bible says we will have a world government under one rule and law. How do you make that happen without willingness to let everyone have their own truth. Socialism is the only worldly way one can wrangle all nations under one umbrella government while letting all maintain their identity and "system." The other way is of course through the person and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

and the other problem I have...

2.This man supports abortion. Needless to say this is a controversial issue but an important one none the less. Anyone who believes the bible is truth can see that this is an outward evidence of our country's downward spiral. We are seeing the beginning of a pattern displayed time again in the bible. Murder, the distortion of truth, and the like inevitably manifest themselves into blatant homosexuality and the governmental support of such, bestiality, etc. leading to the ultimate destruction of said society. Read in the Old Testament and see this spiral displayed in Sodom and Gomorrah and other such cities. God has standards and will hold every transgression accountable to that standard.

That is just my point of view so please take it for what it is...the opinion of a bible thumpin' Christian preaching Hell fire and Brimstone...etc. I am not one saying that "THE END IS NEAR" rather one just observing the path our country is on. The path of so many other cultures who no longer exist. Will this change the fact that Christ saves all who call to Him...no. But even Christ condemned cities to which the Good News was given, who did not repent, saying "it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for you Capernaum." I hope things change, and yet I don't. This all must be realized if we are to move towards Christ and Heaven.
