Randy Alcorn on Obama

Very interesting article by Randy Alcorn. Here's a sample of the beginning:

A year and a half ago, when I first heard about Barack Obama, I got excited. I really wanted to support him. An evangelical Christian told me Obama was prolife. I didn’t care that Obama was a Democrat. I wanted a pro-life, pro-environment, pro-racial equality president who took seriously our need to care for the poor and defend the needy.

Granted, I also wanted someone who wasn’t a New Age anti-industry activist with a “Meat is Murder” bumper sticker. I wanted someone who is committed to national defense, but knows when not to go on offense. I wanted someone who doesn’t hear every Douglas fir screaming when it’s cut down.

But, frankly, I relished the opportunity to show I wasn’t a lockstep Republican. I was, and still am, tired of the Pat Robertson sort of Republicanism that supported proabortion-Republican-who-publicly-cheated-on-his-wife Rudy Giuliani because he's the only guy who could beat Hillary. (This was a non-prophetic endorsement on too many levels to count.)

Should Evangelicals support Obama even though he's pro-abortion???

Pastors endorsing the candidates

I'm not nuts about pastors endorsing candidates from their pulpit because I think it is a distraction from what every pastor should be preaching...Christ and Him crucified. But I did like the argument one of these pastor's made for how the Word of God should instruct our decisions, even in voting.
