As he attempts to take Christ out of Christianity, there is no greater evidence that Barack Obama needs the prayers of all Christians. With a winning smile and adept cunningness, Obama’s willingness to use deceit and inaccuracies to “reset” the Christian faith for his political gain reveals a public war against the God of the Bible.

Where does Barack Obama mislead? He has propelled homosexuality to the front of his agenda. That Barack Obama the man supports homosexuality is his choice. Obama’s actions, however, are equally anti-Christian as they are pro-homosexuality. That Obama uses the name of Christ to imply that Christianity in anyway approves of homosexuality is an open assault on the Word of God. It would be the same if Obama did so in regard to adultery or greed or any sin that God forbids through His written Word. Obama explicitly stated that he supports homosexuality because: “You know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule.” Broken down, Obama implies that Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross so that the sin of homosexuality could be pursued without conscience and with impunity. The Bible clearly states God’s abhorrence of homosexuality, adultery, greed and other sins of a fallen humanity. What the Bible says regarding homosexuality:

Leviticus 18:22 — 22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Romans 1:24-27 — 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 — 9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 10Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible warns that leading others astray is the greater sin. Tossing the name of Christ into a political statement during the middle of an election year fools no one but the uninformed. The attack on God and God’s Word is nothing new. Obama joins legions of those with the hubris to supplant the God of the universe with their own self-glorification. Their easy fix is to circumvent or change the meaning of scripture. In regard to homosexuality, God’s message is clear.

A few select men, named in the Bible, were used by the Holy Spirit to write down God’s word — with scripture making it abundantly clear that anyone who adds to or takes away from it — is a curse to God. Does Obama misquote scripture out of an ignorance of Christianity? Or, as some have written, is he perpetrating a vehemently anti-Christian act of aggression against the Bible? It is a combination of the two as Barack Obama consistently attempts to hijack Christianity, transform it into something it is not, take its meaning out of context and use it as political fodder.

The government of the United States is making an historic shift from representing the people to controlling the people. Barack Obama’s policies are a blueprint of the United Nation’s game plan to place Americans under global governance. Obama’s endgame and how he plans to get there, in collaboration with the U.N., is revealed by Sharon Sebastian in the following YouTube interview. The U.N.’s Green Charter and Agenda 21 have been declared a serious threat to the United States by members of Congress, state representatives and mayors across the country. From the White House to enemies worldwide, globalists have their sites aimed squarely at Americans’ individual rights and our nation’s sovereignty. Progressive politicians on both sides of the aisle are selling out America at the local, state and national level. Whether through ignorance or intent, hold them accountable and without excuse. Send each of your representatives a copy of the YouTube link posted below. Learn the dangers of Agenda 21 and inform all you know. Stand for your freedoms or lose them. Click on YouTube link:

Not unlike his misinformation about the Supreme Court’s Constitutional authority to strike down law, Obama again got it wrong by pulling out the unfair distribution of wealth card when he slammed Congressman Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget as “Social Darwinism.” Obama dragged out the age-old debate whether the capitalistic route to wealth accumulation under private citizen control best serves the people vs. whether socialistic government control of wealth should be distributed by wealthy government elites through welfare. Obama never differentiates that Medicare and Social Security are programs that are partially paid into by hard-working citizens and should not constitute welfare entitlements per se. The question is does Obama really not know that Social Darwinism lays the foundation for Socialists, Communists, and Globalists whose goals are to enact draconian controls, create a dependent populace and reign in individual freedoms? Obama is among the ranks of those who perceive themselves as the “naturally selected” superior elites to rule the inferior masses, not just in the United States, but worldwide.

Best that can be determined is that the President’s use of the term Social Darwinism is a pre-emptive strike to deflect attention away from himself. Since Obama has brought the term “Social Darwinism” into the public’s consciousness, it is important to inform the President and most everyone else what Social Darwinism is. Does President Obama really not know that his policies are steeped in Social Darwinism? Does this President not know that he is the current progeny of Fabian Socialists in America? All that is required is a review of Obama’s ideology vis-à-vis historical fact.

In the 1800s, Social Darwinists formed a political party in England that spread to America. They called themselves Fabian Socialists. Obama is today their ideological heir. These Darwinists were made up of devout evolutionists, Socialists, and radical environmentalists. America’s Fabian Socialists got such a bad name and backlash for trying to “transform” America into Socialism, that they changed their name to Liberals. Then, Liberals got such a bad name attempting to change America into a Socialist country, that Liberals changed their name and began calling themselves Progressives — hoping that Americans would have a short memory or that their past would be scrubbed from the history books. Progressive Democrats and President Obama are today the embodiment of Social Darwinists. Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has said she now prefers to be called a Progressive – shedding her old Liberal label. By changing names, the Democrat Party hopes to hide its Socialist roots as Fabian Socialists cum Social Darwinists. Yet, the Left’s radical, Socialist ideas have resurfaced with a vengeance in Obama’s policies — such as “wealth redistribution” as long as he and his elites control it and decide who gets it, nationalizing corporations and financial institutions, limiting private property ownership, taxing citizens to the hilt, diminishing the faith, and putting nature-over-man while limiting population growth through abortions, sterilizations and socialized medicine.

Most telling is that Obama is again, through his policies, taking Americans down that horrific path towards Eugenics. Eugenics is an ugly offspring of Social Darwinism. It found favor with the Democrat Party during the party’s heyday as founders of the Ku Klux Klan. (Read: “Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” – www.DarwinsRacists.com – for a full explanation of Social Darwinism and Eugenics.) It was renowned Democratic-Fabian Socialist George Bernard Shaw, an English Liberal elite, who stated that “only eugenics” [the killing-off of inferior’ people] — could save mankind.” It was Shaw who first proposed using a lethal form of gas for population control and reportedly later chastised Adolf Hitler for gassing people based on nationality – and not on the basis of “class.” Class and race warfare have long been mainstays for the Fabian Socialists/Liberals/Progressives. Eugenics took it to the extreme. Eugenics was first introduced by Charles Darwin’s cousin, Francis Galton, to “selectively breed” humans of all races and usher in population control through abortions, sterilizations and rationed health care. Americans must be on the alert that voluntary eugenics today — may be mandated by executive order tomorrow. Free contraceptives are thrown into the mix today of abortions and sterilizations to distract and manipulate women into thinking that it is all in their best interests.

A primary goal of the United Nations – with Obama’s support – is population control. Obama hired Science Czar, John Holdren, to counsel him on it. In his book, Holdren proposed laws on how to best “regulate” abortions and sterilizations as a means of “compulsory population-control.” This Obama Czar pondered if under the Constitution — government could force young mothers to give up their babies and theorized — how “sterilent’s could be put in the nation’s water supply to sterilize humans as long as it does not harm livestock. Historically, Social Darwinists view humans as just more highly evolved animals. It sheds light on Barack Obama’s incessant pounding of the drum to abort babies. It sheds light on how he could stand before the Illinois Legislature and advocate letting a newborn that survived an abortion die in a waste bin rather than give it life-saving medical care. Bottom line, Social Darwinism is an elitist, class-and-race bating ideology that devalues life and misleads people that their freedom and rights are not from God — but from an elitist government. Social Darwinism is a pandemic on the culture, the morals, and the faith of a nation.

Obama is not the only leader to go down this road. Karl Marx, the father of Communism – sent Darwin gifts. Darwin gave Marx and others a false basis to treat people like “collective herds” equally suppressed under “tight government controls and regulations.” As listed in the book, “Darwin’s Racists,” other fans who were Darwin’s racists were Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Tse-tung. They adopted Darwinism as part of their ruthless ideologies and regimes. No God – no conscience – no morals – no problem. Put your conscience on the shelf. Life gets devalued. Values get twisted. Government views people as “mindless herds.” Or, as Obama’s Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, so cleverly put it, “…like Homer Simpsons that can be manipulated” — instead of human beings with God-given rights of freedom and self-determination. Social Darwinism breeds an elitist mentality. The Obama administration has put it on full display for all to see.

President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are entering negotiations over — or seeking ratification of — five treaties that could radically limit our national sovereignty and the reach of our democratic institutions. Particularly scary is that the treaties, once signed and ratified, have the same status as constitutional law and cannot be altered or eclipsed by Congress or state legislatures. And their provisions must be enforced by U.S. courts.

Those who wish to preserve our sovereignty and democratic control over our future must rally to block these treaties, either by pressing Obama and Clinton not to sign them or by blocking their ratification.

• International Criminal Court — Clinton has reversed George W. Bush’s policy and entered into negotiations over U.S. participation in the court. Specifically, the leftists who are sponsoring the court wish to create a new crime of “aggression,” which is essentially going to war without the approval of the United Nations. If we submit to the court’s jurisdiction, our presidents and Cabinet officials could be prosecuted criminally for going to war without U.N. approval. This would, of course, give Russia and China a veto over our military actions. Clinton says she will stop our military’s hands from being tied, but we all must realize that once we accept the International Criminal Court, we go down a slippery slope. The court could even prosecute Americans who have been cleared by our own judicial system.

• The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) has been signed, and the Obama administration — with the aid of RINO Sen. Richard Lugar (Ind.) — will push for its ratification as soon as Lugar’s primary in Indiana is over this year. LOST requires that the United States pay an international body half of its royalties from offshore drilling. The body would then distribute the funds as it sees fit to whichever nations it chooses. The United States would only have one vote out of 160 regarding where the money goes. LOST will also oblige us to hand over our offshore drilling technology to any nation that wants it … for free.

• Small-arms control — Clinton is about to negotiate on a global ban on export of small arms. It would only apply to private citizens but, of course, most small-arms deals come not from individuals or private firms but from governments, specifically those of the United States, Russia, China and Israel. The treaty would require each nation to adopt measures to stop exportation of small arms. It is easy to see how this could be a backdoor way to require national registration of all guns and to assert federal regulation over firearms. It would also require the registration of all ammunition to track its source once a gun is fired. The Second Amendment be damned!

• Outer Space Code of Conduct — Under the guise of stopping debris from accumulating in outer space, the European Union has enlisted Clinton in negotiations over a code of conduct. The code would prohibit activities that are likely to generate debris in outer space — space littering. The code might inhibit or prohibit the United States from deploying anti-missile missiles on platforms in space, denying us the key weapon we need to counter Iranian, Chinese and North Korean missile threats. European leftists reacted angrily when G.W. Bush opted out of the ABM treaty banning defensive weapons. Now they seek to reimpose it under the guise of a code of conduct.

• Rights of the Child — Even more fanciful is a treaty Clinton plans to negotiate setting forth a code of rights for children, to be administered by a 14-member court set up for the purpose. The draft treaty obliges rich nations to provide funds for shelter, food, clothing and education for children in poor nations. This provision could create grounds to litigate to challenge the level of foreign aid we give as inadequate to meet our treaty obligations. Already, leftists in the United Kingdom are using the treaty to attack welfare cuts by the Cameron government.

European liberalism is advancing — masked — by way of these treaties. Defenders of liberty must say no!

A young man requested that I write something about what is important for him when considering a prospective bride and I did so in the post entitled, The Second Biggest Decision – Guys Version. This one will serve as the counterpart for the ladies.

Next to salvation, choosing your life partner is the biggest decision you will make this side of eternity. When your prince charming comes around, how will you recognize him? What if he is not on a white horse but in a beat up car? When he asks for your hand, should you give it? Choose wisely.

Biblically speaking, marriage is supposed to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. In our day, divorce runs rampant, and many forces are attempting to redefine the family, but that does not change the standard held out in Scripture. Once the rose-colored glasses are removed and real life settles in, the man you marry is non-returnable in God’s eyes. Even with the exceptions given in Scripture, the preferred goal is one spouse for life. My often-used saying is,

“It is far better to be happily married for forty years then to be miserably married for fifty!”

If it takes ten years for the right man to come along, it is better to wait. Being single and serving the Lord, is better than being married and miserable. I have spent the last 30 years of my life testing this sentence in the counseling office. It is true. Your life partner will have a direct impact on your ability to serve the Lord and your personal wellbeing, and therefore must be chosen carefully.

Most couples that marry begin their relationship by initially being attracted by appearance. For the record, that is normal and acceptable. Who wants to marry someone they cannot stand to look at? As those of us know that have a few years on our bodies now, looks come and go. What is possible to look like at 20 is near impossible at 40 or 50. Weight comes, hair leaves, and lines deepen. Young Prince Charming will turn into Old King George sooner than later. We all age, so basing our relationship simply on looks is foolish.

Beyond physical attractiveness, many traits should be considered. I am assuming that you are a strong believer and desire to please the Lord in your life. If you are not, then you have no business looking for a spouse at this time anyway! Your relationship to the Lord has to be primary in your life for when hard times come; it is what will help carry you through them.

This is not about how to get a husband or the best method to use, but what to look for in a perspective one, so I will not develop that topic. I also am not going to develop the timing issue regarding ages and such. God has given you parents and pastors that can help you in this arena. If possible, stay under your father’s protection and ask your family about the perspective spouse. Many times your brother(s) if you have one can give you insight into how a guy thinks and what his motives are in any given situation. Be humble and listen to those that God has put in your life and you will rejoice later on if you do.

Perhaps a few questions might be in order as to your motives for considering marriage – Am I ready for the commitment? Are my parents in agreement, not just giving in to me, but are they actually supportive of this relationship? Is my walk with God consistent enough? Am I a servant or selfish? Is this the right time? Am I attempting to run away from home by this relationship? Do I like my perspective mate or are there many things I intend to change in him after he says, “I do?” While no one is ever completely ready for marriage, when we get the release from the Lord and the authorities in our life regarding timing, we begin the exciting process of prayerfully waiting for our prospective mate! While the young man chooses his bride, the young ladies are given the task of waiting, patiently until chosen.

Shortly after birth, and often while they wait, many young ladies make extensive lists on what to look for in their future groom. Praying specifically about this is good, so I would not want to dampen that list, but I would suggest that these three things that I told my daughters be included.

1. Does the young man love the Lord with a heart to serve Him? Marriage is hard work sometimes and our relationship with the Lord is our anchor to steady the ship during the storms. If his love for God and His Word is not strong, his love for you will also not be as strong as it could be. There will be a direct correlation between his love for the Lord and his love for his wife. If the Lord is not first in his life, he will not have the necessary foundation upon which to build. Firm foundations provide something good to build upon, what do weak ones do?

2. Is the young man teachable? A know-it-all, arrogant young man typically grows into a know-it-all, arrogant older man. God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble, the Bible teaches, and who does not need or want more grace? Being young and inexperienced is not a fault, being proud and unteachable is. If no one can speak into the life of a young man before marriage, what do you think the chances of your being heard by him are after marriage? How quickly does the young man repent and admit that he was in error about something? How does he line up under the authorities in his life? How does he treat his parents and siblings? All give insight into how he will treat you later on. Many daughters love their fathers and often wish their future husbands could be like their dad. If they are teachable when young, the father will be able to speak into his life to help him grow. If he will not listen to anyone about anything, what chance is there of that happening? God is and will be gracious, but the road may be difficult as you have to watch God discipline and break a proud husband.

3. Is the young man kind? Proverbs 19:22 in the NASB translation, states, “What is desired in a man is kindness.” If you marry a kind young man, you will be most likely end up being married to a kind older man later on. If you marry a self-centered, selfish, harsh young man, you most likely will spend a great deal of time in counseling and crying. How does this man interact with his family, peers, those of the opposite sex? How does he treat those less fortunate? Is he generous? A harsh man does not make a loving husband, and overlooking this fault will lead to a lifetime of pain. If a young man is not nice and kind to you during the period of pursuing you when he is on his best behavior, what do you think he will act like after he has caught you?

There is nothing magic that takes place during a wedding ceremony. What a person is before they say, “I do,” will simply be more clearly revealed after the wedding celebration takes place. Most people are on their best behavior during the courtship process and this can lead to some artificial representations. It is best to observe from a distance before jumping into a relationship. How a young man treats his family, friends, and authorities can be observed and is usually a pretty good reflection of how he will soon treat you. Again, choose wisely. Marriage is a pressure-filled experience. If children follow, the pressures increase. It is best to make sure that what is squeezed out of your man by pressure include a love for the Lord, teachableness, and being kind!

The three points above are by no means the full picture, but if these three were not there, I would very quickly walk away, or better yet, never begin the relationship! In addition to loving the Lord, being kind and teachable, there are multiple other factors to prayerfully consider. For example, his maturity level, emotional stability or moodiness, common interests and dreams, vision for the future, family planning goals, the handling of money, and communication skills all should be considered regarding compatibility. A wife in the Biblical sense helps complete the man. She is given to him to help him in his life to accomplish what God desires. If you do not like what God has called him to do or become, why would you want to partner with him for life?

A good rule of thumb is that if everyone around you is questioning the relationship, so should you! The old saying is that “love is blind.” I pray that you will not be. Listen to those that are more objective and love you; they just might see something that you do not.

Marriage is wonderful; a mystical picture of Christ and the Church, and God is the One that came up with the idea. Adam and Eve were the first married couple and all of history will end with a wedding feast! Jesus preformed His first miracle at a wedding and God has specific commands for those that will marry. A young lady becomes a bride and this decision will affect her for the rest of her days. It is an exciting time and marriage is a gift from God. I pray that each young lady will seek the Lord regarding this choice and that many godly generations will come forth as a result.

A young man requested that I write something about what is important for him when considering a perspective bride. I thought that perhaps you might find it interesting as well.

Next to salvation, choosing your life partner is the biggest decision you will make this side of eternity. This choice is not like buying a car or bringing home a new puppy, but will have a direct influence on you every day for the rest of your life. Choose wisely.

Biblically speaking marriage is supposed to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. In our day, divorce runs rampant, but that does not change the standard held out in Scripture. A man can trade in his car and give his puppy away, but his spouse is non-returnable in God’s eyes. Even with the exceptions given in Scripture, the preferred goal is one spouse for life. My often-used saying is, “It is far better to be happily married for forty years then to be miserably married for fifty!” If it takes ten years to find the right woman, it is better to wait.

There are many verses directly related to marriage and I would strongly encourage any young man to review them often as he enters the time of seeking his bride. I will not develop them here but a partial listing includes Malachi 2:13-16, 1Corinthians 7, Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Peter 3:1-7, and of course, dozens scattered throughout the book of Proverbs. A life partner will have a direct impact on your ability to serve the Lord and therefore you must choose carefully.

While most young men are attracted to the outside of the perspective bride, and that is good and normal, the inside is far more important. Beyond physical attractiveness, you should consider many traits. I am assuming that you are a strong believer and desire to please the Lord in your life. If you are not, then you have no business looking for a spouse at this time anyway!

I am not going to develop the timing issue for when to consider taking a spouse but I would strongly encourage you to work with your parents as to this critical decision. There are two primary questions regarding marriage: when and who. A few questions to discuss, and for which to have good answers include: Am I able to take on the responsibility of a wife and family both spiritually and financially? Are my parents in agreement that this is the right time? Is my walk with God consistent enough? Am I attempting to get away from a problem via marriage? While no one is ever completely ready for marriage, when we get the release from the Lord and the authorities in our life regarding timing, we begin the exciting process of prayerfully seeking our prospective mate!

Here are three key points to consider when looking for a potential spouse:

1. Does the young lady love the Lord with a heart to serve Him? Marriage is hard work sometimes and our relationship with the Lord is our anchor to steady the ship during the storms. If her love for God is not strong, her love for you will also not be. There will be a direct correlation between her love for her Lord and her love for her husband. If the Lord is not first in her life, she will not have the necessary foundation upon which to build.

2. Does the young lady love the Word of God? Given the changeable nature of our society and our emotions, we must build upon something that does not shift like the sand. The Scripture must be a priority and our basis for our belief system. Considering a young lady that has little or no Scriptural understanding is not wise. God’s will and ways must be first and not human emotions and intellect.

3. How does the young lady get along with and treat her family? After you say, “I do,” you are family! If she is cold, angry, selfish and rebellious now, how do you think she will be shortly after you are married? If she has an attitude problem toward her authorities before marriage, do you think that will change when you step into the position of being her authority? If she is self-absorbed now, will she change after marriage? From a more positive point of view, if the young lady is a servant now, that will most likely grow. If she is kind and generous now, those attributes will also continue. If she can lovingly submit to her parents today, that is usually a good indication that she will honor and respect you after you marry.

Nothing magical takes place during a wedding ceremony. What a person is before they say, “I do,” is simply clearer after the wedding celebration takes place. Most people are on their best behavior during the courtship process and this can lead to some artificial representations. It is best to observe from a distance before jumping into a relationship. How a young lady treats her family, friends, and authorities is observable and is usually a good reflection of how she will soon treat you. Again, choose wisely.

The three points above are by no means the full picture, but if these three were not there, I would very quickly walk away! In addition to loving the Lord, the Word of God, and personal observation of her interaction with those around her, there are multiple other factors to consider prayerfully. For example, her maturity level, emotional stability or moodiness, common interests and dreams, vision for the future, family planning goals, the handling of money and communication skills is all things to consider regarding compatibility. A good rule of thumb is that if everyone around you is questioning the relationship, so should you! The old saying is that “love is blind.” I pray that you will not be.
