That Barack Obama is a pretender seems clear to me. He claims to be a Christian, but it is clear that he doesn't understand what it means to be a Christian.

If he were a genuine Christian, he would know that we are not the answer, but part of the problem - that is, sinful man. That Jesus is the answer and that He as a stone comes and crushes the governments of this world, even the very government that Obama claims is the answer.

He would know that there is value in what is true in the old and that it is of utmost importance that we hold onto that which is good, even though it be from antiquity. His call for change is but a mining of the spirit of the age.

Just what would the change that he would bring look like? I hate to use the analogy, but Hitler was a mesmerizing speaker also. The German people found out too late just who it was they voted into office. We know who John McCain is. He looks to be a man who swears to his own hurt and doesn't change, a man of character. He is a man of the people and, furthermore, I believe he is God's choice.

Please vote prayerfully and wisely this November.
