Conservative Atlanta Pastor to deliver benediction at Obama inauguration
Atlanta Journal & Constitution ^ | 1/8/13 | Jim Galloway

Posted on 01/09/2013 1:30:35 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

President Barack Obama’s second inauguration will be book-ended with prayers from the widow of slain civil rights activist Medgar Evers and the conservative pastor of an Atlanta mega-church.

The Rev. Louie Giglio, whose Passion City Church just hosted a youth-oriented event that attracted 60,000 to the Georgia Dome, will offer the benediction – a duty assigned four years ago to the Rev. Joe Lowery.

The invocation will be offered by Myrlie Evers-Williams, whose husband – a field director for the NAACP – was gunned down in 1963 in the driveway of his Jackson, Miss., home. Myrlie Evers-Williams served as chairman of the NAACP from 1995 to 1998.

Pastor Giglio seems like a good man, but he ought to realize Obama is NOT a friend of true, classical Christianity. Why would he lend his talents and blessing to a man dedicated to killing babies?

Obama has declared war on people of faith (Christian faith, anyway) and this pastor is going to ask God’s blessing on his actions?

I can understand praying that he gets saved, OBEY the Constitution, etc. but to end this ceremony?

This “conservative” is either already a baby-killer, or he is star-struck by baby-killers like Obama. In any case, appearing at Obama’s fraudulent “inauguration” makes him a publicly-committed baby-killer.

He joins a long, long line of the starstruck. Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Cardinal McCarrick—those who just can’t suck up enough to baby-killers.

Louie is Caucasian, lead pastor of an Atlanta mega church.

Looks like that church has a lot of good going on.

Many of us Christians realize that to make a difference, we have to be the hands and feet of God.

In fact, that is what He has commanded us to do, to go, and make disciples.

We really do not get a choice.

The Catholic Church has Amnesty as common ground with Lil Barry. I’d say this church has the same common ground or some other position like it. Most church organizations have people at the top levels today who are Socialist. As a Conservative and Constituionalist and a believer in God, I have no common ground with Lil Barry, the Socialist tyrant. The Founding Fathers were men of God, and supremely brilliant. Sorry Lil Barry, no Socialist sale here. I’ll stick with the Constitution and not the snake oil wealth redistribution ponzi scheme. Socialism brings misery to everyone ... Misery is not God.

That would be the difference between him and Zippy—who couldn't raise a crowd of Americans the last time he ran for something here, and had foreigners pay the unions to steal the election for him.

Let's hear what he has to say before we pass judgment.

He might be emulating Jesus by walking among the sinners.

Louie it not a baby-killer. One of the speakers at Passion 2013 was John Piper, who told the 67,000 college-age youth in no uncertain terms that abortion was wrong and constituted a form of slavery of the unborn.

My youngest daughter attended Passion 2013 and I watched all of the sessions on podcast.

Youth from 2,300 colleges attended, as did youth from 52 different countries.

Louie's connection with the White House began in earnest after Passion 2012, at which Passion raised over $3 million to fight modern day slaver. Giglio and the pastor of Passion City Church were invited to the National Day of Pray, at which Obama recognized Passion for its work in that area.

Louis Giglio and his teachings, however, remain conservative.

I’ll take your word for it.

But praying at Obama fraudulent “inauguration” is still the wrong thing to do. The time for “reaching across the aisle” is long over.

There will be those who will be crying out for “reaching across the aisle” as they are herded into box cars.
