My feelings exactly. I am using your prayer Sunday when I open the church services with greetings and prayer. I dearly love you and Helen, very much. I love your articles and keep many of them.. You have taught this old teacher much along the way. Love, Shirley

And which candidate is a professed follower of Christ and which does not profess anything other than church membership? I think the reason politics should not clash with religion is because not all Christians are Republicans and not all Christians are Democrats. That's the reason we have freedom to choose in America. No one should be persecuted for their beliefs. Especially when Obama is our brother in Christ, as a professed believer. I know lots of brothers within the church that I don't agree with on issues. Yes, the abortion issue is a strong one, but I am equally concerned with lifestyle also and what comes out of the mouth because out of the heart so speaks the mouth. Walking it out is a pretty important measuring stick. Does the Spirit show through in a quiet humble lifestyle or is there a seething anger that permeates? Coincidentally, I do not necessarily vote for Obama. I just think the attack style is not becoming of followers of Christ. They'll know we are Christians by our love for one another....not by our political views. There are ways to appeal to brothers in Christ by the Spirit. I pray that whoever is elected (even if it is Obama as the polls suggest) would listen to their heart as the one true living son of the one true living God speaks to it through the Holy Spirit. I hope you will join me in that prayer. - Cathy

Cathy - we had a great exchange of views by email. Both candidates are professed Christians and I have no reason to doutbt them. Sen. McCain attends a Baptist church and Sen. Obama has been in a Church of Christ (formerly Congregatonal/Reformed. We may not agree on everything (almost all), but Helen and I count you as a good friend, Love ya'.

Julie, you sweet girl. Thanks again.

Welcome Alice - I checked with Snopes and others. The letter is widely circulated and is authentic. I heard Der Fuhrer's address over the radio when I was five years old. It stirred me deeply at the time to hear masses of German voices singing "Deutschland Uber Alles." That was when Socialism was the CHANGE for Germany. It's so good to hear from someone who is hungry to grow in Christ Jesus. I trust you are in a good Bible-teaching church.

Good to hear from you Bede. Your point?
