Wright clearly is a racist nut job that pimps out demagoguery and racism for personal gain. However, just because Obama is a member of his church doesn't correlate necessarily to Obama agreeing with his pastor's views. Obama had reason to join Wright's church outside of the pastor's and church's rhetoric.

The reality seems to be that Obama, a mixed race man with degrees from Columbia and Harvard, needed to “prove his blackness” to the black community and only joined the church to help himself politically. Joining the church helped him get connected involved in the black community and win his state and federal senate seats. He can't say the truth, but I really believe his membership was all about getting elected. Accordingly, the correlation between Wright's beliefs and Obama’s is weak.

Who Holds The Cup?

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 26:36-46

Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me? —John 18:11

Are you being called to taste some bitter cup of pain or loss? Are you tempted to push it away? You may be wondering, Is God in this situation? If so, recall the dark and distressing experience of Jesus and His example on the night of His betrayal.

We must never forget that Jesus was the God-Man, with both divine and human natures. He therefore recoiled from the prospect of agonizing crucifixion and the ordeal of having the world’s sin heaped on His sinless soul. And worst of all, He shuddered at the thought of being abandoned by His Father. So He pleaded, “If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me” (Matt. 26:39). Yet after that He said in trustful submission, “Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?” (John 18:11). He knew that the hand, which would for our redemption hold the cup to His lips, was not the hand of Judas or Caiaphas or Pilate. It was the hand of His loving Father intent on redeeming our lost human race.

Baffled by the mystery of such love, we take our stand on Calvary and believe that any cup we drink is held to our lips by the Father of fathomless love and wisdom. Our prayer is that of trustful submission because we believe that even life’s most bitter cup is held in the Father’s hand.

Death and the curse were in our cup
O Christ, ’twas full for Thee!
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop—
Now blessings there for me.  —Anon.

 

We learn the lesson of trust in the school of trial.

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 16–18; Proverbs 28:1-14

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Aquamarine; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[dutchess]

Interesting read AliV. Thanks for the link.

[dutchess]

Hey Geebee. Good to see you. Happy first day of spring!

[pookie18]

My pleasure, as ever, DollyCali!

[DollyCali]

off for a few errands prior to my cancer support group. We are having a physician speak to the group.

I made a CD .. called Green Music. Mostly Celtic type with Kermit’s Green. I tried hard to find Tom Jones or Elvis Green Green grass but no luck. Found it but no success with the Free downloads. I dont have pay pal or any way of getting the downloads for pay, as cheap as they are

wanted to have it in for a little balance. We have a St Pat’s theme. Everyone is supposed to bring a “green food/drink” item.

Cold here but sun is still out.. what a first day of spring.. snow all over!

see you all later..
