Obama didn't "sneak" into office, or cheat his way in, or any other way of writing that off. God allowed him to be elected. And if He allowed him to be elected, then my job is to pray for him I guess.<br /><br />We conservatives can easily fall into traps from Rush Limbaugh and hope that Obama fails, I know I've entertained the thought. But for one, <I>all</I> men fail in some facet of life. So what would God have me do, pray for the man's failure, or pray for the status of the man's heart?<br /><br />Thanks for making me think about this Andy. Once again, you challenge me to be a different (better) person.FuzyMunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201801162227367955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394967532114379352.post-15448177616225471722008-11-07T11:02:00.000-06:002008-11-07T11:02:00.000-06:00Thanks, Again, Pastor Andy for your wise and encou...Thanks, Again, Pastor Andy for your wise and encouraging words. I had linked to the Piper article on my blog, and it led to more comments than I have ever had before...I think it touched a nerve (not everyone agreed with it). I was also able to encourage my parents, in-laws and some in my Ladies Bible study with his thoughts and biblical truth. They had self-admittedly been despairing, and just needed a dose of The Bible to pull them out of the sadness.stephanie j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18215284275413268005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394967532114379352.post-88845974212749182302008-11-06T23:09:00.000-06:002008-11-06T23:09:00.000-06:00Somehow I don't think Andy wants that role!Awesome...Somehow I don't think Andy wants that role!<BR/><BR/>Awesome post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394967532114379352.post-77245066056738705622008-11-05T18:28:00.000-06:002008-11-05T18:28:00.000-06:00Andy Perry for Congress in 2010!Andy Perry for Congress in 2010!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
