Ok..ok. I have been quiet long enough. Today we saw history made and a new president enter office. Wither or not you voted for him or not is not the issue. I have got the point where I am tired of seeing : "Anti-Christ", "Leftist", "Muslim" and other emails and comments. I don't know where the Christians are right now in all of this.
First, God is in control and nothing surprises him. God knew who would be our President and who will be the ones to follow him. God is all powerful and has complete power over all things. Instead Christians are going around with this defeated and disgusted look on thier face. Why I ask? Is it lack of faith in God's power? Appears so to me.
Second, who really knows where anyone stands in Christ? The only two people that know for sure you are in Christ are you and God. I can see fruits yes...but the rich young ruler exhibited fruits and still wasn't complete. So we need to stop and hope a persons word is true.
Third, Have you seen a politican yet to go after Rowe v Wade? Have you seen a president that was on the heals of the supreme court to overturn this awful decision? Have you seen a president that was totally sold out to Christ and it was so evident in his life? I could go on and on but you should get the point.
Finally, In Titus 3:1-2 it states "Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. 2 They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone" It appears many Christians are slandering the name of Obama and fighting. If I read this correctly then I see that we are to submit, be obedient to the law and do what is good. Sure you can disagree with things. Haven't we all disagreed with fellow beleivers before. But that doesn't give us the right for borderline hatred.
I believe I have said enough. I am calling on all Christians to live the life Christ has called us to live. Even if that means we swallow our pride and serve those who some of us don't want to. After all unconditional service is what we are called to.

Romans 13
Submission to the Authorities
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.
2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
If I was going to say it, I would have said it this way. I am going to go to church tomorrow night and show them these versus, get some feathers of Christians riled up. I agree 100% and have thought that; I am not in control, so why be mad and run my mouth. God has it all under control.
