Obama and Palin plus views from Christians who support Obama.

Hopefully, if God's grace allows, I will bring to my readers my thought on the present state of affairs here in the US about the Presidential Race. I will also use a couple of Christians to see why they are voting liberal and not the more Biblical worldview of the Republicans. Hopefully, again by God's grace alone, I will provide a Biblical worldview on the current state and try and weed out. I do want to make clear that I have declared that I support the Republicans but I will say that I will never ever vote for Obama.

I am also talking to 2 friends to get there view on why Obama is a better candidate. It should be interesting because I am trying and not force my views on them.

Also a little rant. Why does the US Government give Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac some billion dollars and the CEO (or whatever he is called) walks away with $9.3 Million severance package for sending the company to rock bottom?

AWANA Recap

This past weekend was the first AWANA that I was able to teach. I used an AWANA tool called the Gospel Wheel. There is 6 verses that are used to show God's character and action and men's character and actions. I started with man's actions which is sin. The verses used is Romans 3:23 and 6:23. I next explain that God loved us usinng John 3:16. John 3:16 provided a great segway to Romans 5:8 which is God's action. I finally explained that the Gospel was defined in 1 Corthinians 15:3-4; "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." (ESV) I would explain next that our actions are to trust (Acts 16:31) like someone would trust a parachute when jumping from a plane and repenting of sins (Matt 3:2).

This next week I am going to teach about

Where were you when found out about 9-11?

I want to take some time to tell you where I was on Sept 11, 2001. I was a sophomore in high school and walking towards my orchestra class when I past a TV in the library office. I notice that the Today Show on NBC was showing one of the towers with smoke coming out of it. I did not stop but continue to my class. My next class was a study hall for people that were in special education. I was in the class becuase my IQ score in math and reading had a gap that was greater than 20 points. That is when I heard about the second tower and the Pentagon getting hit. I also watched one of the towers fall. I would later talk about the war in Iraq and how I was against an attacked based on reports on weapons of mass destruction.

This is my generation of a major event like Kennedy's shootings and Vietnam. Let us never forget.

New House and AWANA Starts.

I have some new readers and some do not know what AWANA is. AWANA is an acronym for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed or 2 Timothy 2:15. It is a children program that incourges kids to memorize Bible Verses and read the Bible. This year I am moving up to trek which is middle school age kids. This was somewhat of my descision but I still want to work the Truth & Training or T&T (2-6th grade). I know that I will still have some fun. Awans starts tomorrow the 7th.

Also with AWANA, I have started to move which has become a bigger task then first thought. The good thing is the next time I move, I do not have to really left a finger. But everything is going well with many snags. enough about that.

I also are in a couple of classes so that has suffer b/c of move. I skipped (Amanda never skip class {Amanda is my sister who started college}) my class last Thursday and will have to miss my class Tuesday- Thursday next week b/c of work.

Welcome to the Ninth Month.

So I am trying to brain storm with a ice cream sandwich aznd kool-aid (which is a Nebraska invention). I am think of a political theme post because that is what I have been listening to especially when some of my liberal Christian friends like Obama. I have to say that I completely dislike Obama's plans to help the world.

Why?

B/c Christians are told to help the sick, the poor, homeless, the broken hearted and not the government. The government misses one point about helping these groups of people. They tend to miss out on sharing a gospel with these people. Obama seems to be getting liberal Christians (what an oxymoron) on hand b/c he wants to help these groups. Again, Jesus told CHRISTIANS to help the world and NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!!!! enough said.

Also,

Obama's is not a great debater. I have yet seen him answer a tough question (I do admit that I do not listen to a lot of his speeches). When I was listen to A Christian Worldview with David Wheaton, it seemed like Obama when around question and not a solid answer. McCain seemed to answer question well but that does not mean I am going to vote for him (Although his VP seems to be a person I could vote for, I do have one question, is she young-earth creationist?).

I was also found out that Obama energy plans is a giant hoax. There is a lot of things that can help us saving gas. The problem I see is that a little can help but OPEC is not dumb. All they have to do is stop exporting as many barrels keeping the price high. What would drive the prices down would be a sudden increase in crude oil that OPEC could not control. That is why off-shore drilling would help bring down prices.

Even though it seems that I would vote for McCain, I think there still might be a better candidate for president.
