Am I The Only One?
Are there other people (regardless of skin color) taking a closer look but moreso a STAND in this election. It took a black individual to run for us as a culture to take politics seriously. Be apart of EVERYTHING that pertains to your daily life. Get more involved even more than you are. Make sure that you do something in the coming month of November!! (even if this is the first time people are registering to vote, let alone actually voting on purpose)
GET UP AND OUT... you know without any excuses like:
I dont feel like gettting up
I forgot, time slipped my mind
Its raining .. its too cold
I just got off of work and i dont feel ike it
I cant get a babysitter!! (come on PEOPLE!)
Etc., etc., etc.
Last year I ran for public office and it was a fun, tiresome, great, exciting, humbling, spiritual warfare experience. Although I did not win with electoral votes (I came in third), I still won in my spirit and soul man.. I did something that I always wanted to do and ACTED ON IT. I don’t want to have a "what if... could have list".
However, with the all of the all of a sudden interest in politics that the black community is having I have been worried, disgusted and sad… but I can understand why so many people support OBAMA. However, the MAIN reason why most are is NOT enough. The color of his skin and the pure fact that he has broken into several doors being a black man is great, but I am very shocked to see that the CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, THE SAINTS are on the wave themselves - riding it... building him a boat… checking the temperature of the water… being like a deacon and making sure that the water is clean, etc., etc., etc.
He openly talks about abortion and changing the laws for gays – lesbians and the list goes ON! Like a bad credit report, we don’t seem to care simply because he is black... Wow!
Nonetheless. Barack Obama as well as his beautiful wife have become two more influential African American people that are awesome!
However, I want to thank EVERYONE for being "one" of the individuals who appreciates the color barriers that were broken BUT not gitty on the rest of the "product" that is being hyped all over the nation... take out the CHRISTIAN GODLY values then YES WE CAN!
But, what is your stand? So therefore I guess that WE CAN’T!
Please people. I understand you feel compelled to support him because he is black and I do agree because as him being a black man in America and making history. I AM PROUD. Trust me I am... BUT AFTER BEING PROUD WHAT IS NEXT.... I am not knockin’ him. I’m just rockin’ the boat and forcing people to think if they are going to get a paddle to help him swim in the direction that he is going in OR will there be a people who will grab his boat and .. or jump in his boat to pull him toward the LIGHT.
So running behind him ... it is like what the BIBLE talks about via being an "unstable man". You can have money... education and respect but still be UNSTABLE.
You are a proud Christian man or woman BUT you just love Barack Obama and you will look past all of the negative things that GOD clearly hates?
I do understand that it is almost 2009 and there are several versions of the “Word" so maybe half the Obama fans are reading something that I don’t know about but the BIBLE still says the same things regardless of what version that you obtain.
Also, it doesn’t matter what political party that you are affiliated with. People who know me also know that I am not a Democrat. But, it doesn’t matter. You vote for the person, the morals, beliefs, values... and the Stand that LINES UP with what you are in agreement with.
Hmmmmm... just had to get that off me because alot of individuals say Vis, you should vote for him because he is black... and that "erks" me because that reminds me of asking someone if they are saved and have received Jesus Christ" into their lives... and they say, “Well my father is a deacon... my mom is a missionary.”
And exactly what does that have to do with anything? The same "deepness" that we portray via ministry can we please carry some of it into the REGULAR world... you can still be Kingdom in the devil's world... trust me it works and you can.... its called "standing out... being a light!"
Being Kingdom Minded on Purpose,
