What President Obama's Inauguration Speech tells Us.

As I listened to the President’s inaugural speech today, I couldn’t help but feel grieved for my country. At a time when we could be celebrating equality and unity, I heard nothing but divisiveness, and a determination to push through an agenda rooted in liberation theology with the clear intent of getting reparations for the injustices of the previous two centuries of” white colonial” rule.  Obama clearly sees his challenge as defeating his opposition, and he is ready to fight to see his new Socialist America displace traditional America. This is why I continue to see him as the first “un-American” American President. He is determined to fundamentally change our nation to resemble a socialist utopia that has never existed, a fantasy of the liberal left.

By stating his endorsement of gay rights he displays his total disregard for the Bibles upon which he took his oath, and by that disregard he will bring judgment on our nation. It was the father of our country, George Washington who warned us:

“The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained”

So it becomes apparent that the next four years will see a decline in the quality of life in America on every front, political, cultural, economic and civil unless we see a genuine spiritual revival.

The Church is the only bulwark against a godless onslaught that is intent on “knocking us down to size” until we are like the other nations of the world. As Billy Graham reminded us, if God lets us get away with this, he’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. And I don’t think He’s about to do that.

It’s time for preachers to preach, teachers to teach and citizens to engage in the governing process, praying like it all depends on God and working like it all depends on us to see this nation turn back to God, to see His favor shed on us once again. Rise up, O Church! America, bless God!

Bill,

Thanks for bringing a Christian perspective to all of this. The New York Times subtitled a first page story on the inauguration, “Inaugural Stresses Theme of Civil and Gay Rights – Safety Net Praised”. President Obama, the article goes on to say, distinguished himself by being “the first president ever to mention the word “gay” in an Inaugural Address as he equated the drive for same-sex marriage to the quests for racial and gender equality” New York Times, Tuesday January 22, 2013, page A1). This from a man who claims to be a Christian.

I listened to a Christian radio station for a short while yesterday. The anchors gushed over Mrs. Obama’s inaugural wardrobe and what the great pressure there was in selecting clothes that would be kept as museum pieces. They went on to speak in amazement at the number of photos taken and posted of the inauguration. In the time I listened not one word was spoken about the president’s moral values or social agenda.

When we are not willing to hear and obey the truth, any lie can be acceptable.

God help us all.
