Wow. I thought to myself when I seen the title here we go again. But after reading this I was in ah. Your words are so true and I could not agree with you more. Thanks for taking the time to post this . It is nice reading things that are wrote from the heart and not just wrote to sound good. Amen is all I can say.

Greg, Great article and I agree with you completely. I suppose it just bugs me when I see government officials going off the deep end serving self rather than the people who elected them to make an honest effort for America. I don't' envision Obama as evil but I do see him serving the will of Satan rather than God. He professed to be Christian when he ran for president but he has shown his 'true' colors and is a devout Muslim. He has proved he cannot be trusted yet I continue to pray for him and others like him to see the error of their ways, profess their sins, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savor of their lives. I realize I cannot change others and make a repeated effort to change myself. Yes...I am a sinner and realize that apart from the grace of God, I have no hope of getting off this planet alive. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Thanks for your very thoughtful and insightful piece Greg.

You say "... this is not a gun control thing, its not an abortion thing, its not a government takeover thing, this is a SATANS- KINGDOM-advancing-thing. Its not Obamas fault, nor ... whomever else anyone may think is destroying this world. Its Satan and his minions. (1 John 5:19). ... These (leaders) are the people that don't need our criticism, but our understanding, our forgiveness, our prayers so they can be released from the enemy's hands. (2 Timothy 2:26) God loves these people just as much as those who don't sin. (Luke 15: 11-32)"

How right you are Greg. We in Australia are equally in the political hands of non-Christian people who are totally blinded to the truth. All the listed ills of the USA are the same spiritual diseases that plague us here and every other nation as well. The only difference is that they manifest themselves in ways appropriate in their setting. But it remains Satan's work, as you so rightly say.

Thanks for your comments Greg, they are very helpful and make me re-think my own position. It is a "word in season."

satan causes the problems and trials we have, but there is one difference between sinners and Christians....Christians are believers in Jesus as their Savior and Lord and are no longer sinners for we are covered with the blood of Christ and aren't sinners no longer, but if we happen to slip and do sin, we have an Advocate between God and Satan and He is Jesus...saying we aren't guilty for we belong to Him! The Bible says to be angry but sin not...that is when we do get angry, we can ask forgiveness and be forgiven before we go to bed at night! We are not to hold our anger and grudges! I do pray for the President and all leaders and all sinners to be saved by Jesus and to turn from their evil and wicked ways, but only Jesus can do it through the prayers of those who love and obey Him, so their prayers will be heard and answered! If we, who are saved in Jesus Christ, are still sinners than who are the Christians? Covered in Jesus' blood we are forgiven and then studying the Holy Word of God, we grow in faith and live the best we can for Jesus, as we are learning more and more of God's holy will and way! Love you, Bro, but I don't agree that Christians are sinners! Amen! Ma

Well it seems I have an accomplice of being long-winded in writing posts by God's Holy Spirit! I used to be the one who wrote long posts and now I can allow you to do it for me! Thanks for all your posts and May God's love cover you and yours with protection and provision always! Amen! Ma

Some "long reads" are a bit of a burden to bear, but posts like this one are not. I certainly appreciated it and I appreciate yours too Ma Betty.
