A word about Sarah Palin from Lou Engle

A Word About Sarah Palin--

45 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. subpoenaed the conscience of America and drove the injustice of segregation like a wedge into the soul of the nation. The wedge has been driven again. When Senator John McCain courageously chose Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate, he drove family values back into the conscience of America.

The liberal media played into the hands of a Higher Wisdom when they injected former Vice President Dan Quayle into the debate by comparing Governor Palin to Dan Quayle. Now, everyone is beginning to realize that this election is not about a man’s charisma or his nebulous notion of change. No. This election is a battle for family values and to the victor goes the soul of this nation.Governor Palin is more than just a brilliant choice for Vice President. She and her family stand as a sign and a wonder for life and for children. They are a living parable parading in blazing Technicolor before the eyes of the whole nation. This goes way beyond elections. This is about us healing our families, regaining moral responsibility, and exhibiting forgiveness.

Palin boldly stood by her conviction that all life is sacred and chose to have her Down Syndrome child while leading her state. Senator Barack Obama, on the other hand, declared that the first thing he will do as President is pass the Freedom of Choice Act, which will remove every restriction from all abortion procedures, including many restrictions that most Americans agree with, By doing this, he will open up the doors to promote deviant sex education to kindergarteners and exclude even parents from their right to know of their underage daughter’s potential abortion.

When the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter became an insensitive liberal media circus, we were given a rare view into love and support as Governor Palin embraced her grandchild in her daughter’s womb as a blessing. Again, on the other hand, Obama was once quoted as saying that if his two daughters made a “mistake” and became pregnant, he would not want them to be “punished” with babies. What a stark contrast of the value of human life! The ideological beast of Obama’s worldview has been drawn out of its lair and now stands naked and exposed by Palin’s compassion and conviction. The beast is not just Quayle hunting. It is hunting our children, our nation’s destiny, and us. The rage of the media against Palin simply further exposes the moral bankruptcy, bigotry, and lack of compassion of liberalism. The media, Obama’s court prophets, have become Selma’s new sheriffs of the South beating the new heirs of the civil rights movement – the millions of unborn children attacked in the womb and countless women hurt by abortion – with their journalistic Billy Clubs and loud hectoring.

With his choice of Governor Palin as his running mate, John McCain has once again gone to war. However, this time, not in the distant lands of Vietnam and Iraq, but he has gone to war for America, for our families, and for our children. And this war, we cannot afford to lose.

This was too profound for me to not share with you all. The very foundation of our country is at stake. The future for our children is being defined in this coming election. The media wants to define who our president will be...but I believe we have a God more Powerful than any billion dollar network. We must stay strong in prayer, crying out to God to preserve the morality of this country.

Prayer is the most important thing you do...

"Begin to realize more and more that prayer is the most important thing you do. You can use your time to no better advantage than to pray whenever you have opportunity to do so, either alone and with others, while at work, while at rest or while walking down the street. Anywhere!" ~O. Hallesby (taken from When Families Pray-Cheri Fuller)

We are using this book in our devotional time. It is full of wonderful ideas on how to incorporate prayer into our family life. Today we made decisions to pray for our community as we go about our activities here. We will pray for the jail as we pass it, the courthouse and government leaders as we pass it. The schools, the college, our neighbors... As the kids go to soccer or to church, we will pray for the kids they will be with as we drive up to our destinations. We are praying for our presidential election each day. It is neat to see the kids get into the idea of praying for all things as we go about our day. Join us in praying ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE!

Prayer

"PRAYER MOVES THE ARM

THAT MOVES THE WORLD."

We read that quote yesterday during our devotions for school. We are using the book When Families Pray by Cheri Fuller. I thought it was so fitting to post this, because I have been asking you to pray for this upcoming election. Thank you for joining me in praying for our country and our world.

goin' political again...

I've lost all respect for Charlie Gibson. His attitude, body language, and tone of voice were despicable while interviewing Sarah Palin. (I am referring to the interview on Night Line last night.) I thought she handled herself very well in spite of his demeaning attitude towards her. He couldn't even acknowledge her as a human being, an American mother who just sent her first born son to war that very day to protect his freedom. He couldn't even acknowledge it. He just continued on in his pious barrage of questioning. It's fine with me if we ask all of the candidates the hard questions that need to be asked, but good grief have some class and respect while doing it! Obama gets media coverage of dancing with Ellen, or joking about his grandma and DisneyWorld with David Lettermen...while Sarah Palin gets this. Unbelievable! Please join me in praying for our country during this time. Please, please, please stand firm in prayer through these coming months!

goin' political on you...

I just have to let it out that I am really excited about who McCain has chosen as his VP running mate! Please join me in fervantly praying for our country during this election year. As believer's we can not be apathetic about this. We have to join together and storm the gates of heaven for the morality of this country.
