God is love, and Christianity involves faith expressing itself through love. A little child asked President Obama, "Why do people hate you?"
Many people, including some Christians, do seem to hate the president. According to my reading of the Scriptures, this is clearly wrong.
I think our job is to pray for him. What do you think?
To be true agents of change in our society, believers need to walk in the light, not darkness; to walk in love, not hate and animosity; to be salt, not pepper; and to stand for biblical principles wherever possible.
Many of the motives we see manifested in politics in all political parties have deep roots in pride, lust, greed, and all sorts of corruption. That's unfortunate, but we don't live in a perfect world. We need to remember that the only way this world will change is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Lord said, "Follow me," and this is what we must do, as we learn to walk in love in all our dealings with others.
Do you love President Obama? Do you pray for him?
