Focus on the Family recently published its “Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America,” a list of dire speculations about how America will quickly become a difficult place for Christians to live if we elect Barack Obama as the next president. From the intro:
This letter is not “predicting” that all of the imaginative future “events” named in this letter will happen. But it is saying that each one of these changes could happen and also that each change would be a the natural outcome of (a) published legal opinions already written by liberal judges, (b) trends already seen in states with liberal-dominated courts such as California and Massachusetts, (c) recent past promises, practices, and legislative initiatives of the current liberal leadership of the Democratic Party and (d) Senator Obama’s previous actions, previous voting record, and previous public promises to the far-left groups that won the nomination for him.
List of possible natural outcomes include:
>Complete “far-left” control of the U.S. Supreme Court.
>A Supreme Court ruling establishing the constitutionality of homosexual marriage.
>Christian professionals (doctors, lawyers, social workers, etc) leaving their practices and professions en masse rather than adhere to new homosexual anti-discrimination laws.
>Hate speech laws prohibiting Christian ministries from having any influence on college campuses.
>An end to any and all restrictions on abortion with the passing of a national Freedom of Choice Act.
>Doctors and nurses losing their jobs for refusing to perform and assist with abortions.
>The outlawing of home schooling.
>Multiple attacks in U.S. cities by terrorists emboldened by our withdrawal from Iraq.
>Limited and rationed heath care for senior citizens and a rise in euthanasia.
>Homosexual activist groups effectively shutting down any Christian publisher who releases anything critical of homosexuality.
The list goes on, but I’m interested to know what our readers think. Read the letter. Do you think an Obama presidency will be this bad for our nation? Comment below.

Since the Bible says
Proverbs 8:15
By Me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just...
Proverbs 22:28
for dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
So nobody gets into power unless He allows it.
Why does He allow men like Hitler to come into power? Why does He allow evil to reign?
And I'm NOT equating Obama with evil.
It seems many Christians are.
I think McCain's a good man, but I believe the republican party as a whole is a real mess...heavily favoring the rich and denying the poor which is the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus says to do [sell all ..etc]
Maybe God is testing us to see how we'll react to changes in this country that go against His Word.
Maybe He's sick of all our empty TALK and our lack of ACTION in establishing His kingdom in America. Maybe we're in for a thrashing.
Maybe God is going to use OBAMA to bring us back to Him as a nation- on our KNEES.
Maybe God is just intent upon changing OBAMA's heart.
Ultimately its all in God's hand

Ok people, I'm not for Obama, and I know that he will be our new president, which is def. not good. Especially for the Christians! But listen... Who do you all think is in control? When the disciples were in the midst of the storm, they went to Jesus and asked Him if He even cared that they were about to die! Is that what were doing? Jesus said that was because of their unbelief! Then he calmed the storm instantly! Jesus is in control, and He wants us to worship Him. He doesn't want us to fall down in fear! Praise Him in the storm. So instead of coming to Him and saying that He doesn't care, God wants you to say, thank God the Lord of Creation is in the boat with us! Let us rise up and worship the Lord God Jehovah! Jesus Christ the almighty son of the living God! For He is in control! And, And even if this cup of destruction doesn't pass from us, then let God's will be done. Quite being whiny and unsure of the Lord, and get on your knees and repent!

Most of the possible outcomes are based upon a gross exaggeration of liberal views. They are meant to scare and instill fear in other Christians who may not be as well versed in political discourse. Perhaps, those like Dr Dobson should spend more time teaching Matthew (Don't worry about tomorrow...) and less time instilling fear and speculation about the future. The fact is that none of us knows what the future holds. It is truly in God's hands. Christians need to remember that and take it to heart. We serve a God that is much more powerful than the world. Why isn't that taught? Or is it not politically expedient?
