Typical Obama supporter, now thinks she won't have to pay for gas or her mortgage. "If I help him, he's going to help me." Rev. Peterson: Black Preachers are Worshipping the Wrong Messiah ..There shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies...2 Peter 2:1 LOS ANGELES, -- With the November 4 election of Barack Obama, black preachers have been celebrating across the country. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action, Inc. is rebuking these black preachers for their part in electing the most left-wing presidential candidate in American history: "Ninety-six percent of black voters supported Barack Obama and the majority of these voters were influenced by black preachers to put race ahead of their country and their faith," said Rev. Peterson. "How can ministers who are supposed to lead their flock to Jesus Christ instead lead them to a socialist like Obama? The truth is that most black ministers don't have a real relationship with God and they are leading their congregations to hell. These blind leaders helped elect their black 'Messiah'. This 'Messiah' happens to be the most left-wing member of the U.S. Senate," said Rev. Peterson. Here's where president-elect Obama stands on key issues: --Believes in abortion on demand (virtually under any circumstance), and has told Planned Parenthood that sex-ed for kindergartners is 'the right thing to do' (as long as it's 'age appropriate'); --Has promised to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act and would allow homosexual 'marriages' to be made legal in all 50 states; --Would appoint far left activist judges who'd pervert and misinterpret the U.S. Constitution; --Has pledged to dismantle 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military. Supports open homosexuality, bisexuality, and transexuality in all military branches, barracks and shower facilities. This is what influential black ministers said after the Obama election victory: Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter's House church said that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign "encouraged, validated and gave inspiration to not only the people of the United States of America, but to the people of our world." At Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church, Rev. Calvin Butts invited his congregation to stand up "and give God praise for the election." Several hundred churchgoers rose as one and cheered, "Yes we can! Yes we can!" Grammy-winning gospel singer, Rev. Shirley Caesar-Williams said, "Too long we've been at the bottom of the totem pole, but he [Obama] has vindicated us, hallelujah." At Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Rev. Otis Moss, III, said history would note that Trinity was the holy place where "God stirred a young man's soul and put him on the path to the presidency." Rev. Peterson added: "For the past eighteen years I've said that most black preachers are not called by God, but instead are called by their mammas. If there was ever a time that this was the case, that time is now. In order for black Americans to turn around, they must drop their anger, and find the truth within themselves, not from corrupt, racist preachers or from a false black Messiah." SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. http://www.armyofgod.com ]]> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:20:43 -0500 Typical Barack Obama supporter.

SALT OF THE EARTH Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 Matthew 5:13-16 (New American Standard Bible) 13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the peck-measure, but on the lampstand; and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Perhaps it s difficult for you to imagine yourself being salt. The Lord does make that comparison. The lesson he is teaching involves the effectiveness of our life on earth. Most everyone wants to be successful and productive in life. We instinctively want to have a positive effect upon those around us. We want to be considered a person of value, who makes a difference in life by touching others in a positive manner. Jesus compared us as being salt. Salt is used both as a flavoring and as a preservative. It seems to be such a small element in our list of foods, but has a tremendous effect upon our health and enjoyment. It produces joy and pleasure when appropriately used. Jesus said; we are like the salt. In other words, we are a preservative and flavor to those that we touch. If our life radiates the Spirit of Christ and the joy of his redemption, we are going to touch others in a very wonderful and productive way. If we have lost our love for the things of God, and walk in unrighteousness or rebellion, we are like the salt that has lost its flavor. We are good for nothing. Our influence is gone. It is possible that we have become worse than useless. It s important to remember that God has dispersed us among those in the world to display his wonderful gospel and reveal the majesty of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. We repel the darkness of sin. We bring hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, and deliverance to those that are in bondage. We illustrate the work of redemption through Jesus, the only begotten son of God. Prayer: My precious heavenly Father, I come to you with grateful heart that you allowed me to be part of your Kingdom. I want to be good salt and flavor all those around me with your love and grace. When I feel useless and unworthy, help me to remember that you have placed me where I am, that I might be a good influence within your Kingdom. Help me always to be good salt to everyone that I touch. I pray in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Redeemer, and my coming King. Amen. ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:10:28 -0500 Scriptures for America 11_09_08 Part 3 12253591 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/scriptures-for-america-11_09_08-part-2/12253591/

We repel the darkness of sin. We bring hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, and deliverance to those that are in bondage. We illustrate the work of redemption through Jesus, the only begotten son of God. Prayer: My precious heavenly Father, I come to you with grateful heart that you allowed me to be part of your Kingdom. I want to be good salt and flavor all those around me with your love and grace. When I feel useless and unworthy, help me to remember that you have placed me where I am, that I might be a good influence within your Kingdom. Help me always to be good salt to everyone that I touch. I pray in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Redeemer, and my coming King. Amen. ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:17:08 -0500 Scriptures for America11_09_08 Part 1
