Posted this question on Twitter today and my other social networks.
Figured I’d post it here (without the 140 character limit) and see what response I get.
question :: Two men are running for president of the United States. Both men claim to be strong Christians and/or followers of Chirst. Can you trust that claim, if they also claim to put country before God?
See the image above and this quote from Obama’s speech last night:
“So I’ve got news for you, John McCain. We all put our country first.”
Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I’m leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn’t, you realize, pie in the sky by and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the kingdom of God.” – Luke 9:23-27
