Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Let us not be negligent in reminding the people we worship with each week that elections have consequences. In this case, the election has had deadly and conscious-debilitating consequences. Obama has already 1) provided tax-payer funding for agencies that administer abortions around the world, 2) removed protections for medical professionals who object to performing abortions on moral grounds, and, 3) on Monday, he will begin funding the killing of human embryos (embryos are human, they have all their chromosomes just like you do) for the harvesting of stem cells.
Has your pastor been keeping you up to speed on the culture of death that is emanating from the White House? If not, press the issue with him.
Where are the pastors who gave Obama a forum with evangelicals? Where is Rick Warren? Where is T. D. Jakes? Why are they not demanding a meeting with President Obama to discuss these terrible measures? Why are black pastors not calling Obama out on an issue which takes so many African-American lives each year? Where are they now?
We cannot make these pastors give words to their faith, but we can give words to ours. This is cause for outrage that gets expressed to our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is not "bringing politics to church;" this is government-sanctioned; tax-payer-funded murder, and we are duty-bound to oppose it at every turn. Will you remind your Sunday School class/small group/etc. to both pray for a change of heart in our President, to oppose his policies of death, and to vote for life in every election?
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself (Ezekiel 3:17 - 19).
