The Christian Church has barely weighed in and between IRS restrictions on 501-C
organizations and the reticence of leaders like James Dobson to make a firm
choice the Church is vacillating like the proverbial reed in the wind. Adding to
this is the gross lack of
interest Joe Hart

candidates this may come down as the election that flat got away for the body
ecclesia.

For the Church the worst would be the biggest setback to the
dismantling of Roe V. Wade since its inception in 1973 and a near mortal wound
to the sanctity of marriage as derived from biblical tenants. When all the flag
waving and promises are finished it wont be taxes, healthcare, oil or war that
will leave the church reeling but the reversal of all the hard won advances and
skirmishes won so far in the fight against abortion and in the defense of
traditional marriage.

If it is hard for the church to understand the
political issues it can be said that it is nearly impossible for the secularists
to understand why abortion and the attack on marriage is so critical for the
church. Conservative Biblical theology is the single reason that the church cant
take its eye off the ball. For the church it is like cause and effect with a
promise. It is a law not a theory or a possibility. The biblically grounded
believer knows that to continue with the abortions and the attack against
marriage will produce a long range negative effect that will in time destroy the
nation and bring judgment against us. Thats the promise.

Liberalism
brings with it an attitude and a general cry for isolationism. It is the call
for no intervention, no
war Wayne
Rooney Jersey , and no involvement with higher codes, principles or
morality. It is the fuel for separation of church and state advocates and it
smacks of cowardice at its worst and unbridled self indulgence at its best. When
the devils that inhabited a man in the New Testament were threatened by
banishment they replied to Christ let us alone. (Mark 1:24) That cry is echoed
in every liberal cause in our land today and is the precursor to both moral
decline and national judgment.

It is said that knowing a little bit of
the bible is more deadly than knowing nothing at all. Today the question is;
does the Bible really say that homosexuality is a deadly sin that God hates? The
simplest answer to that is, yes! It goes without saying that no homosexual
person or group is going to accept that answer. But that is only a partial
answer and the weightier part of it comes as a replete and recurring theme of
the bible.

The destruction of Sodom is not an isolated story from
Genesis 19 but it is referred to time and again by the prophets, Christ and his
apostles over a 3500 year long period. The theme is the
same Jamie Vardy
Jersey , the promise is the same, and the result is always the same. It
always results in the demise and in some cases the destruction of any nation
that defies the laws of God and nature as in the city of Sodom. Of course all
the nations that were and are no more all had essentially the same cry, epitaph,
epithet or last
words Daniel
Sturridge Jersey , Let us alone.

Live and let live may work fine
for recovering alcoholics but when used in liberal politics it fosters an
attitude that always produces a typical question. It seems like a legitimate
question but if investigated further it would be seen that no one pauses long
enough or is serious enough to wait for the answer. Such a question was asked by
Kirsten Powers in the New York Post July 8, 2008 in an article entitled The GOP
Gay-Marriage Con The question posed said Gays and lesbians make up an estimated
5 percent to 10 percent of the US population. How much damage can they do by
committing themselves to one another? They certainly can't do worse with
marriage than heterosexuals have.

How much damage can they do? How about
irreparable, irreversible damage that can and has brought down the mightiest
nations in history.

If unbridled licentiousness can bring down a nation
then where does the slaughter of uncounted millions of unborn human beings come
into the picture? There is no way of being gentle here; it is the number one
reason for the decline of civilization itself much less the decline of a single
nation. It is a looming major factor in the final coming judgments of all
mankind. It is a prime factor and pre-cursor to Armageddon. Thats theology with
a promise. Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and
deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no
wrong England Soccer Jersey , do
no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed
innocent blood in this placeBut if ye will not hear these
words Charles
Barkley Jersey , I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall
become a desolation. (Jeremiah 22: 3, 5)

It is this kind of promise that
should be guiding the church in its decision about who to vote for in the 2008
election and not whether James Dobson endorses a candidate or whether John
McCain distances himself from certain pastors. When Christ told the church to be
as wise as a serpent but as harmless as a dove (Mt 10: 16) it is understood that
he was not leaving political savvy out of the picture. Unfortunately in its
current penchant toward apostasy the church is leaning toward the dove side of
the equation.

In a recent homily I heard a local minister describe his
observations of a group of doves who decided to nest around his property. He
said they must be the dumbest bird in the ornithological roster. They build
nests in dangerous
places Danny
Welbeck Jersey , lose their young to predators and are prey to every
vicious and marauding bird in the area. I thought of the church and of why
Christ demanded that we dont just function as doves. The be ye wise as serpents
aspect of his admonition is the essential that the church gives up first as it
starts a slide into apostasy.
