A Nation Adrift Without God; The “Stain” Of Wickedness On Our Souls

As we blog this week the national news media continues to be a “buzz” about the Democratic National Convention and the expected speech of Barrack Obama tonight (Thursday, August 28, 2008) Obama’s speech comes 40 years now since the poowerful “I Have A Dream” speech by the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and will certainly be a speech that will be full of promises to “change” the nation if he is elected. At the same time the nation’s attention, especially those in New Orleans, is looking south into the tropics for two  storms named Gustav and Hannah that are posed to both strike the U.S. Mainland sometime early next week if the path continues as predicted. It has become very evident to this writer that both stories will have eternal consequences for a good number of people in the coming days and months. We are coming up on the three year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina which literally shreaded New Oreleans and the LA Gulf Coast in 2005 and will go down as America’s costliest disaster. Some forecasters are warning that Gustav will have plenty of time to become just as strong as Katrina did but models suggest it may remain a Category 3 storm or less. The bottom line is simple though, no matter the Category level of the storm, somewhere soon there is going to another season of damage, death and destruction headed to America. During 2005, Katrina hit New Oreleans days after the city exhibitied one of the most decadent celebrations in recent memory, then had its leaders brag about how unashamed they were over the homosexual event. Katrina also hit days after America had pressured Israel to give up the Gaza Strip; Ariel Sharon, Israel’s leader at the time, would suffer a stroke 4 months later in January 2006 prompting some to believe these events were somehow tied together. That viewpoint is shared by this writer but more on that at a later time. The interesting footnote to these storms coming to the U.S. next week are coming at a time of an eerie parallel of events that were taking place in 2005. Just a few days ago Condi Rice told Israel that Jerusalem must be divided up while at the same time Michelle Obama said the following while giving a speech to the gay, lesbian and transgender delegates at the Democratic National Convention where she promised thaher Barack would give full support to the homosexual agenda if elected President; the luncheon was hosted by homosexual legislator Barney Frank. During her remarks, which were interupted by thunderous applause, Obama said that when her husband became a member of the U.S. Senate, “he voted to protect our Constitution from the stain of discrimination by voting against the federal marriage amendment.” Those comments reflect thus an opinion by her and Barrack, her husband that defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman somehow “stains’ the Constitution. Obama says he will work to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, which protects states from having to recognize homosexual marriages, but also says he thinks marriage is a union of one man and one woman. Really? Well Mr. Obama you cannot have it both ways. You either believe that and will fight to protect that union or you won’t. During his speech to his “fans” in Denver Thursday night Obama promised to find “common ground,” as he put it on abortion, gay rights, gun control, and other hot button issues. Friend, don’t be fooled or swayed by such empty rheteroic; if the man’s wife was speaking earlier in the day saying normal marriage is a “stain” on the Constitution, then there will be NEVER be any common ground on these issues; the only common ground is the agreement among most that Obama’s slick jive talking nature will say anything now to get elected in November. He cannot be believed nor trusted to find “common ground.” Neighbor, I’m not looking for “common ground,” I’m LOOKING FOR HIGHER GROUND! HOLY GHOST GROUND! THE GROUND OF TRUTH as found in the Word of God and that ALONE!! It is interesting to note that Michelle Obama’s remarks are posted on a lesbian web site called Pam’s House Blend, a website run by Pam Spaulding, who not only took the videos, but is a rabidly anti-Christian writer who regularly trashes the work of conservative groups who, while not being perfect nor able to sit in the role as judge of any other, at least recognize the perversion and sick view that marriages between two men or two women are ok and normal in the sight of God and thus should be in the sight of men. This blog is not a diatribe against homosexuals; it is a warning yet again to a nation that is adrift without God that is about to choose its new leader in November. Signs continue to point to a nation so caught up with a “man” its already seared conscience over issues such as aborition and homosexual marriage has just become more callous and without feeling. When Christian believers vote for a candidate because of his race instead of really looking into the stains of his soul then we are truly a nation adrift without God. Before you write your snotty emails let me assure the reader that this writer has no stones he is throwing at Barrack or Michelle Obama; this writer is certainly not without sin neither is anyone reading this blog; HOWEVER, this issue is not about judging those who are homosexual; I can love the individual and pray for them without embracing their lifestyle and lying to them about its validity. The Word of God is our compass and direction and if a candidate thinks marriage between a man and a woman is a “stain” on our Constitution, I’d say without fear or contradiction that same candidate has a “stain” on their hearts that needs to be removed. WAKE UP CHILD OF GOD and LISTEN to what these candidates are saying. Stop voting based upon the right back side of your britches where your wallet sits and VOTE according to your heart, conscience and LOVE for the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep your eyes on Gustav and Hannah; but more importantly keep your eyes on Jesus; Judgement is coming; ALL will be there; those who’ve rejected; those who’ve refused; oh, sinner, haste to His call; then He will pass, will pass over you! His blood can wash away every STAIN on the human soul today and He still sets the captive free! Pray for America that we come to our senses before it’s eternally too late!
