What is the sacrifice of your "religion", Mo?
Preaching/cheerleading from this self-righteous hypocrite got old fast.
Ill say it right now.
Any church that starts spouting Michelle Obama propaganda, would find no longer donating. I go to church for Church, not propaganda from big brother and the food police.
That would end any relationship I had with any church that tried it.
“She encouraged faith-based groups to join her campaign against obesity, saying “your bodies are temples given to you by God.”
These people are completely tone deaf. Completely.
...-some were asking, What would Jackie do? While I cant say for sure, I feel confident that her idea of a sack dress was slightly different from Lady Ms.
“What goes into a person’s mouth doesn’t make him unclean. It’s what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean.”
...Matthew 15:11
Moochelle needs to look in the mirror. The “rear-view” mirror.
Keep raising the taxes, sharing the wealth, borrowing money and spitting at Jesus this country will be skinnier than an Ethiopian drought or the Sudan, any fourth world nation. When she loses forty pounds I’ll start laughing. Until then WE EAT!
WOOF!!!
Look Ma! No hands!!!
Their bodies may be fat, but their souls are starving if this is the extremely week gruel ladled out at this “mega church.”
Any group that lets a political figure set up a photo op by talking about obesity instead of what Jesus has done to save sinners from an eternity in Hell is not a “church” at all. Otherwise, Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers should apply to the IRS for tax exemptions as “churches.”

However, of all the photos posted in the fawning Slantinel, there were none showing the anti-abortion protestors.
Instead, what they thought we should be restricted to seeing, were just some benign "down home" images of "The First Mom" having dinner with a local family that has embraced her Church/State "gospel of salvation by diet.":

First Lady Michelle Obama, in central Florida on a two-day trip promoting healthy living, visited an Ocoee family for dinner at their home, Friday night. A motorcade of security and press escorted the First Lady to the home of Kern and Patrice Halls, in the Westchester neighborhood, west of Orlando. The Halls, with their sons, Keian, 12, and Kamryn, 7, served Obama a meal of jerk chicken, brown rice and peas, sauteed zuchini and squash, and a salad. ..."

Meanwhile, I won't hold my breath waiting to see quotes from "Rev" Joel Hunter like this, published in the Slantinel:
Hunter: "Heres what I think the enemy is: the luxury of being simplistic, of not understanding how complex problems are and how much cooperation is required to solve them. Evangelicals went through a period where we formed homogeneous affinity groups. You cloister together and think everybody else is the enemy. One reason Im thrilled with Obamas presidency is that he likes a broad spectrum of perspectives. Out of those he will glean a practical solution good for everyone. Hes got the intellectual capacity to handle the job. Ive been in conversations with organizations our government cant even talk to like Hezbollah. The enemy is never as scary or threatening up close."
Excerpt From The New Evangelicals: Expanding the Vision of the Common Good
IE: The "Social Justice" mantra of the Left:
Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009):
Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their religion.
Pope Benedict agrees:
[Some] are involved in a disastrous confusion between the poor of Scripture and the proletariat of Marx.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- What Would Jesus ... Deduct?
President Obama offered a new line of reasoning for hiking taxes on the rich on Thursday, saying at the National Prayer Breakfast that his policy proposals are shaped by his religious beliefs. ...[snip]

Obama Ties Public Policy Decisions to Faith at Prayer Breakfast
By Michelle A. Vu , Christian Post Reporter February 2, 2012|11:54 am
WASHINGTON President Obama took a markedly more political tone in his address at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning than he did at the same event last year.
In contrast to last year's personal faith stories, attendees of the 60th National Prayer Breakfast which takes place 10 months before the presidential election were treated to Obama's attempt to make a biblical case for his contentious economic policies........
Pastor Joel C. Hunter, President Obama's spiritual adviser, commented to The Christian Post after the event on the president's decision to tie politics and his faith together in the speech.
"He (Obama) made several comments that this not only makes economic sense, but it makes moral sense," Hunter, senior pastor of Northland, A Church Distributed near Orlando, said.
"Then he made sure that we understood that it was an extension of his own Christian faith."
"I do think that the president was trying to say that this is a part of my own Christian faith, and what informs my policies," he continued.
"He is trying to make connections between what is actually happening in the decision-making realm of politics and faith. So he is saying, that these policies we are making isn't just a matter of affairs, but also a matter of what our faith have told us to do."
But for Dr. Richard D. Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, Obama's speech was too political for the prayer breakfast, which emphasizes removing political labels and partisan divides to come together in prayer and worship.
"I thought it was the most political speech that I heard a president give at the prayer breakfast and I've been to several prayer breakfasts," said Land to CP. "And I thought it was by far the most political speech."
Land said he had some people share with him afterwards that they thought President Obama's speech was "unfortunate.".......
Interestingly, while Obama cited a few Bible verses, he seemed to go out of his way to acknowledge other religious faiths. He mentioned the words "Islam" or "Islamic" three times, "Judaism" or "Jewish" three times, and "Hinduism" once."

However, The Gospel was powerfully and beautifully preached to President Obama, the First Lady, some 4,000 guests from all over the world attending the National Prayer Breakfast, and to the nation via C-SPAN
"God as He REALLY is"..."Jesus is the enemy of DEAD RELIGION"....Jesus' enemies "quoted Scripture" to Him. ....The truth of the Scriptures were communicated clearly and with humor by New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas, author of of the acclaimed recent biography of Bonhoeffer, the German pastor who was murdered by the Nazis for standing up for the Jews.
His address starts at 34 minutes in watch the VIDEO
Eric Metaxas (paraphrased): "Apart from God, we cannot see "HOW" to help the poor, not "whether" to help the poor (etc.) Apart from God, we cannot see that the unborn are "persons" / human beings. Bonhoeffer: Whoever does not stand with the Jews is [a German phrase] If you have a biblical view of sexuality you will be demonized by the other side as "bigots". However, we are commanded to love our enemies who do not yet see these, and other biblical principles. This includes our "political" enemies. (Sings "Amazing Grace") ("Was blind, but now I see")

” an optional food stamp package that would only be for unprocessed food (vegetables, whole grains, seeds and nuts, and raw meat foul and fish), plus a modest amount for soap . . . “
Yeah — I think you actually meant something like “fowl” instead of “foul”? Anyway that’s a great idea; only I wouldn’t say “optional” - should be mandatory. . . . Isn’t it something like 45 million people now on food stamps?
I would not listen to a preacher who is a “spiritual” advisor to obama.
The Nazis took over the German Lutheran and Catholic churches and installed their own leadership. History surely repeats itself.
