How Obama Will Help the Church

Rick Joyner (that's the guy in the photo) has some important insights on how we are to understand ourselves as Christians with the upcoming Obama administration.

Joyner tells us that the church can no longer rely on the government to do the job that we ourselves are supposed to do. He speaks to the area of abortion...

Joyner states that Obama wants to turn the abortion laws back to the states. Below he lists some important measures states need to pass...

1) The need for a minor to notify their parents before getting an abortion or to get their permission for an abortion. This is quite shocking, since an abortion is a serious medical procedure that can be dangerous. This brings the issue down to the ridiculous place of nurses needing parental permission to give a child an aspirin, but not an abortion! This is also a direct attack and intrusion on the fundamental authority of parents and guardians. Even the pro-abortion people should be alarmed at this.
2) The second major issue that is under pressure are the laws in some states that require one to receive basic instruction about what an abortion is, what it does to the baby, and potentially to the mother. It has been demonstrated that a high percentage of mothers who receive this basic education decide to have the baby.

Joyner then writes...

I have never met a person who understood abortion procedures and what they do to the baby and the mother who did not become pro-life. Most people who are pro-abortion would not be if they had some basic education about it. They would quickly understand that it is one of the most horrible and dehumanizing acts taking place in our times. It they just understood the procedures used, most would be in shock.

It has to be up to the church to communicate this message. We need to do a better job of shining the light so that people will become more pro-life out of a conviction and knowledge. We also need to be vigilant in educating people about law which leftist groups will try to sneak by congress which would undermine the authority of parents and freedom of speech, especially in the areas of expressing biblical conviction.

The church will need to be more dependent on God, and we will have to appeal to the ultimate authorities in our government--God and the voting population ("we the people").
