Last Sunday and again tomorrow in all Catholic churches across America, the sermon will be on how voting for a man who is pro partial birth abortion, gay marriage, and embryonic stem cell harvesting is immoral.
Our Pastor relayed a story about a Mr. Vincent who had gone to Washington to accept an award in the Oval Office. This man was the last in line to shake the President's hand. He told the President that he prayed for him and his family everyday. Then he told how this man asked the President for a favor. The President told Mr. Vincent, name it. The man asked the President to pray for his mother-in-law's upcoming cancer surgery.
The President took him by the hand and went back to his desk taking down all the information and correct spelling of his mother-in-law's name so that he could send her a note of encouragement. Then the President embraced Mr. Vincent pulling his head to his shoulder, and prayed with him. Overcome with emotion, Mr. Vincent broke down , and the President continued to hold this man and comforted him.
Our pastor stated that our President is a man of God, he is God's man. He also said it was our duty as Christians to vote and if we don't, we will answer to God one day for our failure to do so.
My church is Southern Baptist.
