Has America cast our need for a Savior onto the Office of the President rather than onto Jesus? What is the impact of this?





Life is not about the challenges we face, it is about how we face them. Election or no election (and Republican or Democrat for that matter) one thing remains the same now and forever more. Jesus is THE savior. Period. Looking to anyone or anything else is the equivalent of appointing a substitute, or a false god. Jesus, alone, is the solution to every problem that ever was, is, or will be.



That said, it is very easy to look at the perilous times we face and choose to look elsewhere for the answer to our country's challenges. After all, we're in the middle of a recession, our public education system is in shambles, health care becomes more unaffordable by the minute, and unemployment is skyrocketing by the second. Looking to politician (at any level) to 'save' us, however, is always a mistake. God sent us one Savior. He only sent us one because that's all we need.



Nonetheless, God does appoint leaders to help guide and direct us. The bible allows for the rule and infrastructure of government. Given that we have the privilege of living in a representative democracy - meaning we get to elect our leaders - we must use the power to vote responsibly.



By voting we choose our direction and leadership. Our leaders impact our collective ability and approach to the challenges we face every day. As such, while the President is not and cannot be the Savior , he is (arguably) the most powerful figure in the world. My point? Who we elect matters.



From a faith-based standpoint, I believe that both our candidates this year are Christian men. I do not doubt the sincerity of either of their faiths. For Americans, I believe it's a wonderful thing to see two Believers seeking the oval office. But, for Believers, it can be a bit daunting to determine which way to vote. Your choice does matter nonetheless.



As a lawyer, I've been trained to go to the Book of Law for guidance on how to decipher a challenging situation. In this election, I've decided to use the Lambs Book of Life to guide my choice. I'm not choosing which candidate is more of a Christian. I'm choosing which candidate has laid out a plan to meet the needs and fulfill the hopes of the World today. And, I will not hide my selection. I'm supporting Barack Obama, and here is why. In one word, it's called hope.



I believe that Barack's vision represents Matthew 25:45, which states, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." For a country that has been given much, much is required. It is more than a mission, it is a mandate. I believe that he has been called for such a time as this.



The one thing that God gave mankind (that's you and me) is the most powerful thing we possess as human beings. That one thing is the power and freedom of CHOICE. God will never make our decisions for us. He even gives us the freedom and the power to make the most crucial choice in our lives by choosing whether or not to follow Him. He gave Adam and Eve free choice, along with Cain & Able, Moses, Joshua, Daniel, and even Judas. We possess the same thing.



Our decisions determine our destiny. That includes whether we decide to listen to new ideas or continue to accept nonsense. We are reaping the economic, social, and spiritual consequences (and, I recognize many benefits as well) from previous decisions our nation has made. Right now, America needs a transformational figure that will electrify and unite the world. While I believe that John McCain is a good man and distinguished public servant, I do believe Barack Obama is the leader we need now. He has met the test, he has the vision, and he is ready to lead.



No, you will not be voting for a Savior this November. (However, you can make that choice today if you haven't already.) The election is a chance for your voice to be heard on issues that matter. The world needs Hope, not Hate. Jeremiah 29:11 states, "For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future." I have seen elements of Hate in one campaign. I have seen Hope in another. I want a leader who will face our world's challenges the same way that Christ instructs us to face our problems - with Hope.

I cannot believe as a christian you would say that Obama is a christian. A christian is to be christlike. When Obama is asked whether he supports abortion he says that it is above his pay grade. When the Bible clearly states that as christians we should speak against the evil in this world. You sound like an educated women but I believe you are blinded. I also feel that McCain has faults but on the account metioned above he stands tall and says he believes that a baby is a person at the point of conception. Yes I believe that niether are the greatest men of character and I pray for change in this world but you have to look at what the Bible defines as a christian before you label a man one or not.

I must edit this comment as I used a medical term that is deemed unacceptable. I apologize.

I have to agree with the other commenter. You are well spoken and intelligent. However, I can't help but wonder how you can consider any man who would vote against a ban on partial birth abortion (the most heinous form of abortion that most pro-abortionists actually disagree with) a Christian

When questioned about that in the third debate, Obama was smooth. He played the fear card of the uneducated for certain stating that there was no provision for threat to the life or health of the mother. Prior to Roe v Wade, every state had initiatives for these reasons. That is a non-argument. Pro-lifers understand that if the mother dies so does the baby. Taking it a step further, by third trimester the greatest risk to the mother is birth canal delivery. In these cases, a planned caesarian is chosen by a woman and her doctor. Partial birth abortion is still a birth canal delivery and still an equal threat to a high risk mother.

God's view on abortion is clear: it is wrong. Read the book of Amos, and of course the psalmist said "Before I knit you in your mother's womb, I knew you." The unborn are the least of these...and what has Obama done to them? Well, he's done it unto Christ.

I agree with your first 4 paragraphs and they were dead on. Beyond that I see many,many holes in what you said such as both Christian men, but when Rick Warren asked both candidates when does life begin, Obama said it was above his pay grade. We should know the Bible and defend it and God's word is very clear about life when God said, "I knew you before you were formed in the womb". Only the Lord knows what is in a Man's Heart, but the Ultra-Liberal voting record by Obama on Abortion, Planned Parenthood support and other social issues raises doubt about his understanding of the Word.

Since both candidates have slung mud at each other no one can hardly say that McCain is running a Campaign on Hate. That is just the Media and Hollywood using words to Demonize McCain because they want him to lose.

Also, your comment about Hope. It has been said that if you feed a man fish he eats for a day, but if you teach him how to fish he eats for life. Obama's policies are nothing more than further Socialist-leaning policies worse than his own Liberal Democrats. Poverty will not be solved by Handouts, but by Hand Ups. The 10 cities in America that have the highest poverty rates have been run by Liberal Democrats for decades. Check it out here. http://smithfiles.com/2008/04/17/top-10-poorest-cities-in-usa/

Barrack has not passed any test on a National or International level. He has voted PRESENT over 120 times as a Senator and has the most Liberal voting record in the Senate.

There is no Hope with turning our country into a Socialist State.

Marshawn,
No doubt you are making a great point. Too many people are looking at this election and pointing to the presidential candidates as some type of saviors. Which, we all know that only ONE has ever been able to fill those shoes.

I agree with you: I do not question Obama's faith... as I think many of the other people commenting below do. But there are a couple of questions that people are bringing up that should be taken into consideration when voting your morals and faith:
1. Abortion- Obama is pro-choice.... where is the hope there?

2. Civil Unions- Don't you feel like this is a slippery slope? If we allow gay marriages, what stops us from allowing 3 people from getting married? I mean, if we don't impose our morals at some point when does it get out of hand?

Although I don't believe that either one of those would sway my vote entirely, they are important things to take into consideration when you are basing your vote on hope.

While I am not one who believes a baby is a person at conception, it seems like it has to be obvious to any intelligent person, no matter their paygrade, that it is a person very soon afterwards. To limit abortion at some point in a pregnancy seems common sense, to not do so seems monstrous. Barack Obama supports abortion throughout the whole term, including even partial birth abortion. And what is worse than that is that he even opposed the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act which would have given rights to babies who survived a failed abortion, such as famous speaker Gianna Jensen. That a person could take a fully formed, suffering, wriggling baby and deliberately allow it to die is ,to me, incomprehensible. I do not understand how a person could be a Christian and be okay with that. But at one point in our nation's history there were Christians who thought it was okay to have slaves, treat them like animals rape them, seperate their families, and beat them bloody from time to time. After all they weren't persons either.

I appreciate that you take Matt 25:45 seriously, but don't you realize it is given to individuals, not nations? God rewards me based on what I do for "the least of these". He does not reward me for passing laws that forcefully take your money (you are after all a lawyer who makes much more than I do) to give it to them. And if you do view it as Christ's mandate to nations as well then I have to ask you who on Earth could possibly qualify as "the least of these" more than a helpless infant?

I am sorry but I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you. While there is lots of "talk" of which one or both that are "christians" I find it hard to beleive that anyone who calls on the name of Christ can also beleive that Life is not created and begins at conception or even before that if the Word is to beleive "I knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb". The womb is a sacred place and should be protected above all personal ambition etc. Obama has stated without a doubt that one of his first acts as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act into a law. Have you read this peice of legislation???!! It is a atrosity of the worst kind, totally against the protection of innocent life. If you are going by the "Book" then you better read the accounts of those groups of people who chose to sacrifice their children in the name of Baal and other idols. We are on the verge of destruction in this country and we have ourselves to thank for it. Our inability to confront and stand on the word has allowed our country to become what it is today.
If you truly beleive the word you have to choose life over all the other issues, without a choice for life we choose the death of all we hold sacred. May God have mercy on us!!

you have to choose life, you have no other choice. read the BOOK!!!

To me it is absolutely clear that Barack Obama certainly behaves more like a Christian than does anybody on the McCain camp side!

Let me explain:

The lies, distortions and fear tactics that the McCain/Palin campaign have been using for the past months amount to nothing less than an immoral attempt at character assassination. This flies in the face of the 10 Commandments (especially "Thou shalt bear no false witness"!) and shows that the Christian stance of both Sen. McCain and Ms. Palin is flawed at best, hypocritical at worst.

The Obama campaign on the contrary has run one of the most inclusive campaigns in the history of this country and - while hitting back with even measure - has risen above the fray and never resorted to tearing down the character of either Palin or McCain.

Now to abortion: The Republicans would have us believe that they are anti-abortion. Yet for 35 years have done little to nothing to reverse Roe v. Wade. It's a campaign issue, hardly more.

Of the two candidate, Barack Obama is arguably the more pro-life candidate if you look at it from a broader perspective: His program is the only one to include serious and effective provisions to REDUCE abortion, including raising women's socioeconomic status, adoption laws, and preventive education.

The problem is not Roe v. Wade or FOCA, the problem will not simply go away by making abortion once again illegal! That's what the pundits would have us believe. Prior to Roe (1973) there were over 2 million ILLEGAL abortions taking place every year. That's a similar number we face today with the only difference that today those abortions are legal.

So on both accounts I find that Obama is not only also a Christian which some in this forum have incredibly doubted, but his policies in fact upon closer analysis are MORE Christian.

McCain/Palin want more tax cut for the rich while freezing spending on social aid programs. Mt 25 tells us that that approach is wrong!

So, please look behind the rhetoric and let's not be fooled anymore by the McCain campaign's outrageous politics of fear and hatred. In the precious name of God, tell them to stop the deception, as God is love and truth!

 

Posted 10.22.08

 

With all due respect, I feel that whatever Sen. McCain purports to believe (or actually does believe) is not the real point.

BY THEIR DEEDS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM!

Look at my more detailed comment below please for further information. But to claim that Barack Obama is a lesser Christian than John McCain flies in the face of closer analysis!

God bless!

Outrageous! Great points. I think everyone is hating on this blog as if the republicans have done anything to reverse Roe vs. Wade.

And, how come no one has brought up the civil union issue?

When have we become the judge of a mans heart? Only God alone knows what's in the heart of these two individuals. I am dead set against abortion, because I believe that life begins at conception. Now with that being said, there is no perfect individual on this earth. You cannot say that Mr. Obama is not a Christian, because only God knows his heart. I'm pretty sure that you do things that doesn't line up with the word of God (making bad judgements,sin in whatever form, etc...). Am I justified in saying that you're not a Christian? No!!! Even though Senator McCain stands tall on the issue of abortion (as you say) does that make him any better. Let's not just look at the abortion issue. Let's look at every issue. It's also not Christlike to sling mud, and tear someone down (in fornt of the world) just to get ahead. Remember that God Himself is not forcing us to serve Him. He gave us free-will. He didn't take that from us, but He made it clear in His Word that we will suffer the consequences or reap the benefits in the choice that we do make. Can someone answer this question for me?: If God gave us free-will, is it right for the government to take it away from us? READ CAREFULLY: I DO NOT SUPPORT ABORTION AND I NEVER WILL. I THINK THAT IT IS AN ABOMINATION, AND THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN A ROE-V-WADE. THAT IS SUCH A DISRESPECT FOR THE LIFE THAT GOD HAS ENABLED WOMEN TO CARRY. ABORTION IS A HORRIBLE THING!!! AN INNOCENT LIFE THAT DID NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE CONCEIVED OR NOT!!! There is no contridiction in what I wrote, so please read carefully, and ponder. SELAH, SELAH, SELAH. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. (p.s.: I'm neither Repub. or Demo.)

When are we christians going to start acting like christians. As much as we would all like to stop abortion here in the US, it will continue on wheather it is legal or not.What we need is someone who can lead us out of poverty, the economy, IRAQ, and give us HOPE again.I am not a democrat or a republican I am a Christian who knows that things need to change here in America. I still believe in prayer and that Gods is in charge. So will see who becomes President but remeber God is in control not you. God bless America and the world of people who don't know God.

I am a Christian in another country mentioned in this article, so I feel I have a right to post it to you all, as it includes my country as well. What is in this article, by the decendant of a prominant first settler of Manhattan in the 17th Century is spot on for this hour in America and I implore you all to go to this site and read it completely. This is the answer to your questions; not a man, God shall put in place, because He's in charge. We all have to answer to God, not just any Presidential candidate or President! Stop judging and start looking into your own hearts. Read the list of the sins of the church and repent of each one as I am doing and believe God for change to your own country, as all Christians, need to; we are the SALT OF THE EARTH!. No wonder the Moslems judge Christians! (I'm a sociology Uni student, so my research for assignments has opened me to many things, I would not have known before and now I have read this site). Believe me when I ask you to read this with an open heart before God.

Has anyone on here read Revelations this is not the time to be judging anyone. This is just the beginning of the end. Our Lord will come back to take us christians in the clouds and we will be safe, put your eyes on him and do not look away for he should be first in everything. Now as for Barak or McCain God knows whos next in line for President already so let him guide you on who you should vote for he will tell you WHO HE has already put there. God knows what is going to happen after the election, during there presidency and so on. Im so glad I have my Lord to take care of me during this horrible time here on earth I have him to lean on and to know that I am safe in his loving arms for he knows the plans he has for us (you, this nation, or whole world). Let God finish his plan and let us christians look to him as he would have us do for the guidance we so despartely need. God Bless America!!

As a Christians God tells us to look at the fruit, not just what they say.....The Republicans and Democrats have been pandering to the Christian voter for sometime....we have been like puppets....too lazy or trusting of others to actually do the research needed to show the fruit of these candidates......Both Mr Obama and Mr McCain have been linked to the Council on Foreign Relations opposite wings of the same bird.....not a good thing at all...a One World Government organization....go to youtube.com and do a Video search for CFR, Federal Reserve Bank, Bail Out, Freedom, Dr Chuck Baldwin, Patriot Act, NAU, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Freedom of Speech,RFID, V Chip,Katrina Guns, and that should get you going on an education of what is really going on in this country.....The one True Choice for Christians is Dr Chuck Baldwin....www.Baldwin08.com

Marshawn,
You said, "I believe that Barack's vision represents Matthew 25:45, which states, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." For a country that has been given much, much is required. It is more than a mission, it is a mandate. I believe that he has been called for such a time as this."
Who is more a "least of these" than the unborn child or the "partially" born child.
Obama talks political double speak and wants to take America further into socialism. Socialism has not worked anywhere else why would we think it would work here. I am very disapointed that everyone is lining up for free handouts in their medical, education, welfare and almost any other concievable area. Wake up people!
I hear people complain they do not have enough to pay their mortgage, and while I am sure their are legitamate cases out there, a great many of them are still buying new TVs, cars and toys. And yet they complain that they can not afford health care. People used to use cash for everything. Now people do not use cash, in many cases at all. what is wrong with us that we can not see that we are in trouble because of what we do.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people only works if there is a good moral framework and solid ethical standards that drive us all forward. Our freedom is turning to anarchy.
I can not and will not vote for Barak. "Change" is not always good. and his change will be bad for America and unfortunately it seems that we will find out the hard way.

Where does the Bible state that babies that survived
abortion should be left to die in bio-hazards at hospitals. Senator Obama voted against giving these babies health care several times when he was in the Illinois State Senate. I suggest you view a you tube with a nurse Jill Stanek. I believe it is pretty clear in Jeremiah 1:5 how God views babies. The FIRST thing he wants to sign is the Freedom of Choice act which would make the abortion rate sky rocket including partial birth abortion. I have children that need to be protected and this country can not stay safe under Senator Obama. The college generation is following him around like he is the Messiah. My Messiah died on a cross. Government needs to stay out of our lives not get more involved in it. He has Marxist views. He wants to take my families hard earned money and spread it to people who don't work. Please get informed. He attended a church for 20 years which spewed hatred toward this country. You can not tell me he didn't know. He was only in the Senate 143 days before he began running for president. He could not be a District Manager of McDonalds with that experience. I pray the college generation will wake up before it is too late.

Let me ask each and every one of you a question. How will you vote? Do you believe that either of these men truly represent you? Let me be honest. I do not support either McCain or Obama fully. The only reason I would vote for McCain is because he picked a great VP and because he is less socialistic that Obama.
As Christians can you look at Jeremiah Wright, Obamas pastor for 20 years and say that he represents you? He taught Black Liberation Theology. He believes that the US government created AIDS to kill black people and that white America hates black people. Look him up. That is just one association. Look up Bill Ayers, this new association with Khaliti. His speaches on SPREADING THE WEALTH. That my friends is Marxism/Socialism.
As far as the abortion thing it is clear. Obama has said he wouldnt want his daughter punished with a baby, he voted 4 times against a bill that would give care to babies born of a botched abortion, and of course FOCA. Please if you want to debate lets be honest about the facts.

Many words here. Romans 1:22 How would God vote?

Forget abortion. What about same #!$@ marriage? Romans 1:24-32
verse 25--who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served the creature (this is MAN) rather than the Creator
verse 27--...leaving the natural use of the woman...committing what is shameful...
verse 28--And even as they did not retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting
verse 29--being filled with all unrighteousness, @!#ual immorality...

the end of verse 32--not only do the same BUT ALSO APPROVE of those who practice them.

Because abortion is such a HOT BUTTON topic, I know we'd rather use our thoughts before God's but if

Psalm 139:13-16--if God is not saying we were a person in the womb, what do you think he was saying??

Really doesn't matter what you think, as WHAT DID GOD MEAN?

We'd all like to substitute our hope, wishes or desires; but we have to use GOD'S

Amen, sister. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Hope is in Jesus Christ. We are tolift him in every facet of our lives, conversations, relationships. As for abortion, life begins as Jerimiah 1:5 states. Folk that kill babies will face the consequeces for those choices...but it is their choice...Joshua was told to choose this day, who you will serve...the choice was life or death...and it still is...whether it is abortion, h o m o s e x u a l i t y, domestic abuse, pulpit p i m p s, drug addiction, greed, covetous finaciers...choose life...and life is centered around Christ and his word.

This economic crises is full of men with greed, corruption, deception, and covetousness at the base of their hearts whether they be republicans or democrats. Bush is a born again believer, by his words, and this country is in a mess under his watch. I am not aloof to the point of not knowing that there is spiritual wickedness in high places. Principalities, and powers, thrones and dominions...thus the need for prayer.

People are hurting and are sin sick. Evangelism is the key for us and no party affiliation is tied to that. Political leaders are among the lowest dregs of human society, according to a heavenly messenger who spoke to the prophet Daniel. And He sets them up, and He brings them down. God is in control of what goes on in the governments of men. This scathing indictment of political leaders comes from Daniels experiences in the court of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

In Daniels vision this holy one said this, To the intent that the living may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will, and sets up over it the basest of men. So, all of us who read this passage from the Bible have to either throw it away as some pipe dream of a mad Hebrew prophet 2600 years ago, or we must take it for what it says.The Creator God is involved in the political affairs of men. He is the One who really is ruling in the governments of men. He is the One who gives the political power to whomsoever He will. And God sets up the basest of men –those lowest on the Spiritual Scale.

If we believe this, it will forever change the way we look at politicians. We always knew they were slippery and hypocritical and will say or do anything to get elected. Finally, I’m reminded of that passage in Revelation about the future One World Government Leader, And the whole world wondered after the beast. This man is referred to by God as a beast.

I will pray for Bush, McCain, Bin Laden, Queen of England, Putin, Chavez, Castro, etc. I will pray for the just and the unjust, for God will judge the nations. He has shed his Grace on America, and every country under the sun. Thank God for his Son, Jesus Christ, The King of Kings.

This election to me was choosing the lesser of evils, and whether that was accomplished or not is a personal opinion. But we as christians have missed the whole point. Neither McCain nor Obama is going to save this country; we need to put our faith in God to save us, not a man. I don't know about you but I know that I CANNOT do anything without Him who gives me strength. Instead of arguing about who should have won the election it is time to start praying that God will use Obama to bless this nation. I know if God can take a sinner like me and make me see his love and mercy he can use this man to bless this country. It is our job as christians now to pray His will be done.
