Back to Blogging and oBama

It has been way too long. But it is Veteran's Day, I'm off school, and I just canceled a work opportunity for Caleb and me (which I am glad about), since I was hoping to relax and get caught up with school work. So, I'd like to reflect on the new President. I hear Christian conservatives make such disrespectful comments about our new President. And if they aren't making disrespectful comments they are making "gloom and doom" comments. Granted, a liberal socialist leaning President could mean some dangerous changes for the USA, but I'd like to make the case for Christian conservatives to follow the Biblical mandates regardless. What does the Lord ask us to do? He wants us to "honor the King" and "give tribute where tribute is due" among other things. Another important aspect of our reaction to the new administration, is to be true believers in the idea that God is Sovereign and he continues to be in control of the affairs of men. We know he knows the future and we must trust him through every step. Of course, let us never give our vigilance to oppose Anti-Biblical actions of any government entity such as abortion or Homosexual rights, but on the other hand may we show the proper respect for authority. Kevin Bauder excellently explains this in more detail at this link. I hope you'll check it out. http://sharperiron.org/2008/11/11/what-next/#more-3219
