One of the leaders of the nation’s influential Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) tells Newsmax that President Obama is “very dangerous” in his economic policies and his foreign policy is causing “severe damage” to U.S. standing in the world.
Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and author of the book “The Divided State of America: What Liberals and Conservatives Are Missing In The God And Country Shouting Match”, told Newsmax.TV that the cultural war is heating up. Christians must remember that God is not partisan.
“And on many of the most important issues we deal with as a society, God does have a side,” Land said. “God’s not a Democrat; God’s not a Republican, but God’s pro-life.”

“Religious groups need to maintain their integrity and the truth of their principles,” Land said.
He pointed out that Southern Baptist make up a “disproportionate” membership in the Armed Forces and that the SBC strongly opposes any changes to military policies relating to gays in the military. He suggested that changes Obama has stated he will make would undermine military readiness because it could cause many evangelicals serving in the military to leave.
Land said the SBC has been fighting liberal social policies, and had played a leading role in getting anti-abortion proposals passed in the House under the Pitts-Stupak Amendment that banned federal funding in the new health care bill.
Land noted the role Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., an evangelical who received the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission’s distinguished service award in the past year, played and important role in getting the amendment passed in conjunction with Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich.

Yes, it is the change that America wanted and there is no way to stop it.
The healthcare bill will pass, the global warming, union card and other insane legislations will all pass. They will grant 30 millions illegals amnesty/citizenship so they can rob, rape and murder at will.
And we will never get 2/3s majority to undo any of it.
The game is over. Good luck to all of you. You are going to need it.
Signing out before they hunt us down.
Well, yes. That's the purpose for the world's socialist elites installing him in the presidency.
Obama was put where he is to destroy America and remove us as an obstacle to global government.
Excellent graphic depicting a very ugly situation. Stupid sheep!!
Don’t despair.
All it takes is 3% of Americans.

Some of the history is wrong , Colonies instead of States and Keye was negotiating for one man (I believe).
That’s certainly the truth! Also, everybody should check out the Manhattan Declaration (Evangelicals, Catholic and Orthodox) (http://manhattandeclaration.org/) to see a great statement of this. I think many people are realizing that Obama is bringing us something really, truly bad and that we are under a great threat.
Dr. Land is one of the signers.
..Dr. Land spoke in my church a few years ago—he is a very powerful voice within the SBC...
If I were an employer, I'd print some more and put one in each pay envelope to use as a place mat on their dinner tables!!!
Uh oh. Hussein will declare a fatwah on Dr. Land.
