Do for others, what you want them to do for you!! The Lawsof the land & God's are to be obeyed, that takes cooperation & being content. Life is not a fashion show, nor is it about having the best of everything. Certainly not the sex, drugs & substance abuse promoted in our society today. Live within your means, which includes our leaders. Be good examples, show respect & show care & concern for everyone!! God wants all to live with Him eternally, but we choose; Thus life & death, good & evil, the blessing & the curse, are set before us Now! WE choose our way each day & so we pick our destiny! The punishment of the wicked will be an everlasting punishment; their state cannot be altered.We're all doomed to die once, then be judged, by ONE Judge, who knows all things. We get to choose between doing right or wrong, as each soul has a freewill. There's much evil in our world .. as the devil is controlling people!! It's about time we face up & BE the people, we ought to BE!! Not cold ROBOTS, but folks with feelings!

to the girl next door i greet you in the love of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. i am responding to your comment. first of all God didnt say we had to trust our leaders but he did say we had to pray for them and we know that God is love so we know that we have to love. Rev wright didnt preach hate you have to hear the whole sermon. he told the truth about this country's history. This country has a horrible cruel past. sometimes stuff has to be dealt with in order for it to get better.President Obama has been favored by God to do a specific job in this country and he has to do it. God sets up one and take down another one. sometimes people forget that God is in charge not man as you can see man mess up a lot.search your heart and be honest with God because he knows your real feelings toward President Obama. President Obama is kind and generous. he has self control and all the other fruits of the Spirit that we must have. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit. love you a lot

Maybe its time to eliminate a debt ceiling.
Like keeping razor blades from the suicidal, we need to get the debt ceiling limit away from suicidal Republicans who seem to relish playing Russian roulette with all cylinders loaded. The debt ceiling limit is an artificial political crisis that does not solve anything for the country's real problems.
Just say no to suicide!

Someone frets about Obama's motives. As a Christian with eternal hope that is found only in belief in Jesus Christ, it is not for me to ascribe motives to another. God is the only one who knows one's motives.
President Obama sat in Reverend Wright's church and heard some very powerful sermons. The one sermon of Rev. Wright that got all of the publicity was never presented by the media in its whole. Excerpted sermons like political speeches can end up very different than originally intended. I have sat in my church and have heard some outrageous sermons, but I am still in my church. Preachers come and preachers go. In one case, the preacher was shown the door.
What many white people like me do not understand about Black preaching is based on our lack of a background that has slavery and 2nd-class citizen status. God does not look with favor on a country that mistreats the "least of these." If one does not know what this references, then one could be judged not to be a follower of Jesus.

This strikes me as odd. Obama sat in Trinity Church listening to Rev. Wright spew hate and anti-Americanism for twenty years. If the Rev. did quote the bible I'm sure he obscenely twisted passages to fit his warped, depraved notions of a country he hates and a race (Whites) he despises even more.
Now, with Valerie Jarrett (who stated she is inspired by Mao's teachings) at his side, Obama is quoting chapter and verse about helping the poor? Did anyone there tell him that as Christian people we are obliged to help the unfortunate, not by using government money, but from our individual selves? I just think this is, unfortunately, another PR attempt by the WH to try and score political points by acting as a concerned, compassionate Christian. And I just can't buy it.

This is amazing ... The thoughts and ideas of my fellow Americans! At a time when we should all acknowledge God and His sovereign authority - and I mean the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, the Father of our Redeeming Messiah, Jesus Christ - we attack the leader of our Country. Whether we like it or not, jehovah God is still the Ruler of this universe and it is He who has ordained our leaders for our time - whoever they are. God is not asleep at the switch! He's trying in so many to get our attention during this speck of time He's given to each of us to accept and follow Him! We should all pray for our President and and for all of our leaders, republican and democrat, that they will be guided by our heavenly Father and seek His wisdom. For those of you who don't know God and His Son Jesus Christ, you need to start searching ... Prayer is a good starting place. Greed, hate, unthankfulness, and self-righteousness are all evil! True love, compassion and hope can only be achieved through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Get with it my brothers & sisters!

Election is coming up. It is time to trot out Obama's "strong Christian faith" in order to fool more ignorant Christians into thinking he is one of them.
I have never heard any quote from Jesus that mentioned using the government to take money from one group (by threatening jailtime) in order to give money to the poor. His statements about helping the poor seem clearly directed to individual voluntary action.

Hey Barack - if that doesn't work, just go down the list. Next, have a Bar Mitzvah; then climb the mountains of Tibet. Visit a Native American tribe and see if praying to corn helps (could be good for energy prices); Your last option would be an Islamic homicide bomber...that's at least something you could identify with.
We have to stop calling this guy "president" - a president takes responsibility, stops blaming others for all his own failures, and at least acts like someone in charge.
Apparently, all of a sudden, Barack now thinks God is running the country. Why the change of heart, Barry? Is your suggestion that you might be a one-term president starting to look like a reality to you?
We know there's an election around the corner when a liberal starts talking about compromise. We didn't hear that word during the healthcare debate, did we???
There's only one way to repeal Obamacare - repeal Obama!

Sure, Obama praying is a laughing JOKE, the 1/2 breed don't go to Church, he is a Muslim, born and breed, by the way of his father. So praying over our debt here is for SHOW only. This man is EVIL in so many ways, he makes the Devil look good.

"Many of the leaders pressed Obama to especially save programs to feed the poor in famine-ravaged continents, like Africa, noting that the are among the discretionary spending plans facing the knife."
Since when did the rest of the world become a greater priority than our military men and women who are presently serving? This article is so upsetting on so many levels to me due to the outrageous manipulation of facts, and his socialist/marxist agenda.
