Lie Down with Dogs and You Will Get Fleas

I must first start off this entry by apologizing for not being real active here as of late. I have been dealing with church issues, and a VERY pregnant wife, as well as being a little down myself dealing with a head cold. Please do pray for Chelsey and I as we are still waiting on little Dennis to join us and both of us now dealing with irritating medical issues; her cadiwhompus pelvis and my head cold.

So, in case you missed it last week, one of the network stations did a piece on how the Religious Right vote is now not exclusively Republican. The piece focused in on how stalwart leader Rick Warren had none other than Hillary Clinton speak to his church concerning her policy on AIDS. Here it comes…ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

Rick defended it by explaining it away as being part of a ministry of healing. Where he made an excellent point about a ministry of healing and how important it is to be concerned about these issues, might I suggest Mr. Warren a bit more responsibility on who you choose to be tied to in this endeavor. I find it totally irresponsible that someone with a bit more of a moral compass was not found to speak to his church about these issues. (Besides, I thought there was a big stir up recently on churches not promoting politics from the pulpit. Yes, sarcasm. I personally feel that you should speak on political issues from the pulpit as the teachings of God and the Bible should influence EVERY area of your life, which brings me to my next point.)

I must say that I find it hard to understand how any true God-fearing, Bible believing Christian can be a Democrat. (Now-a-days understandably how one can even be a Republican either, but…) My wife and I are “one issue voters”. Now what we mean by that is not the fact that we vote concerning only one issue, it is simply a starting point. That issue is abortion. We take that one issue and nullify any candidates that support abortion. This tends to wipe out ALL of the Democrats, and some of the Republicans. We will then go on to another issue ruling out or confirming candidates, and continue this process until we have narrowed it down to the one we may wish to vote for.

As a Christian, I cannot bring myself to support someone that carries out actions, or supports any policy that is clearly against GOD’s WORD.

Having said all of that, how can a man in Mr. Warren’s position be so irresponsible as to have someone of Mrs. Clinton’s lack of morality any where near his church? Here is a woman that is for abortion, feminism, homosexual rights, etc. … How does that line up with what is suppose to be being promoted in church, God’s standards and living in the world and not of it?

Mr. Warren, you have just lied down with dogs, and you are going to get fleas. It is irresponsible to have someone such as Mrs. Clinton speak to your church about support for AIDS when there are a number of other candidates that support AIDS research, yet have a higher standard of morals than Mrs. Clinton
