This is not your father's country anymore. Your president said earlier today, that America did not consider itself "a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." As much as we'd like to nostalgically think we live in a Christian nation, the reality is that we do not. We continue to deceive ourselves into thinking we are a nation of God-fearing, church-going, Bible-believing people when the facts state otherwise. And what these 'ideals and values' are that Obama speaks of is anybody's guess.
This statement of his should cause every real Christian to get busy about sharing the gospel. We've fallen asleep in our comfort and style raising a generation of disrespectful and clueless kids with iPods growing out of their ears. To them, George W. Bush is a villain and Britney Spears is a role model. Pre-maritial sex and killing babies is normal to them. Myspace and facebook are cool, but church and the Bible are just for grandma and grandpa. Things of eternal implication mean absolutely nothing in our time in our country. These are 'values and ideals'? To whom? But yes, Barack, you are at least half right. We've rejected Jesus Christ in America. I shudder to think what Jesus Christ's response will be.
