Tomorrow President Obama Celebrates 50 Days in Office

A lot has happened in our country in the last 50 days. The biggest factor of change has been brought by the new presidency of Barak Obama. Tomorrow he will celebrate 50 days in office. Let's review some of the changes in policy that have been made in America, that are relevant to you as a believer. Here are some of the issues:

Abortion: Friday, January 23rd, 2009...President Obama lifted a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

What does this mean to you? Your taxes are being used right this very minute to pay for abortions in other countries.

Conscience Clause: Barak Obama has promised Planned Parenthood that he will pursue the Freedom of Choice Act - which will force faith based hospitals and health care facilities to perform abortions and compel taxpayer funding for abortions.

What does this mean to you? If the Freedom of Choice Act passes, Christian Dr.s who refuse to perform abortions due to their faith and conscience will legally be required to perform the abortion or lose their job if this clause is overturned.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research: The ban placed by President Bush to use federal funding is to be lifted TODAY by Obama.

What does this mean to you? Your tax dollars today are paying for embryonic stem cell research. Though this may violate your conscience - legally you are required to pay for this research. This research that previously was payed for by private sector charities, are now funded by your hard earned money.

America's Relationship with Israel: Throughout the months of December and January, Israeli troops pressed into Gaza City against Hamas after the Palestinians sent over 110 rockets across the border into Israel earlier in December. Israel successfully demolished the Gaza Strip. "Obama administration officials had indicated last week that the U.S. was preparing to pledge $900 million in assistance for Gaza, but Wood's description of the plan Sunday indicated that the only portion going directly to rebuilding Gaza was the $300 million."

What does this mean to you? Your tax dollars will be funding the enemies of Israel to be rescued and rebuit. If you read the Old Testament, you know the last group of people you want to "mess with" are the Israelites! America has always been a friend and protector of Israel. Obama and Hillary Clinton's move to aid the Palestinians puts your tax dollars directly into the hands of Hamas - the enemies of Israel.

This was all completed in the first 50 days of Obama's presidency. There are many more issues like these surfacing - and this troubles me. I took out my calculator and did the math, we have 1,374 more days of Obama in office. That's 27 times 50! Are you on your knees for America? If you have not been - it's time! Please take a moment right there at your computer to say a prayer for our nation, for Barak Obama, for the House and Senate and for Israel.

2 Chronicles 7:14 says "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Walk With the King!
