Prayer needed



President Obama won the election in the USA. He is not my president, it's not my country but his politics affects us in Europe and in the rest of the world.

When Obama first became president, he wanted change.

America was a divided country but after 4 years with Obama it's even more divided, not only in rich and poor, but also in races.

It feels like it's even more difficult these days for Democrats and Republicans to work together in the senate. Work together, something they really have to in order to fix the economic situation in the US.

Obama has not yet done anything with the nuclear weapon development in Iran, the situation is not very bright in Afghanistan, Guantanamo is still there, it was an "Arabian spring" but that turned out to be an "Arabian fall" with even civil war in Syria which he is not at all interested in fixing.

I sense Russia, China and even Latin America are happy to see Obama reelected.


I read in the newspaper that Colorado and Washington said yes to legalise the production and sale of marijuana to adults...

I also read that Tammy Baldwin was elected as the senator of Wisconsin, the first homosexual senator (openly) in history...

Well, well, what to say? we need to pray for America...


God Bless you!

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....
