CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA?

“Israel’s watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they lie around and dream, they love to sleep. They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, each seeks his own gain.” (Isaiah 56:10-11)

“Congratulations Obama.”

These were the words of a supposed man of God. Why? Because Obama happens to be an African American. Now, if you would please excuse me, I would like to say something that would get me in severe trouble if I were a radio talk show host. TD Jakes is using racial profiling to select our next President. And I would also say that he is a racist. Now, why would I accuse T.D. Jakes of being a racist. Well, the evidence speaks for itself. I’m not saying he has anything against other races. I would simply put it this way: “Jakes has bowed down to the god of…skin color.

Jakes is a man that, no doubt, has a gift to preach the Word. Oh, make no mistake, he is a great speaker. He brings them in by the thousands. There is no doubt that he has the gifts. But, I want to warn you beloved; don’t let his anointing deceive you. I am, by no means, accusing him of not being a Christian. But, I am calling him out for worshiping a god other than the God of the Bible. TD Jakes has made it clear that the color of our next President’s skin is more important than his morals. 4,200 Mr. Jakes! That’s how many babies are killed through abortion every single day in this country! 4,200! Mr. Jakes, you need to call Mr. Obama to repentance, you certainly don’t need to praise him!

Mr Jakes, the Bible says “Thou shalt not murder.” How does that become so confusing. I’ll tell you how. When you start to worship a god, such as skin color, you start to forget the word of God. 4,200 innocent children die everyday because shepherds like Mr. Jakes are too worried about being politically correct. The most innocent of all innocent…babies in their mothers’ womb…can you not see? Or are you blind?

Now, if Jakes were to stand on the word of God, would he not come out and say that it makes no difference what the skin color of our next president is; that if he is for the killing of innocent children he has no business leading our country? You would certainly think that a man of God would say something to that affect. But instead you get a quote like this “Tragically, this generation has limited its definition of morality to two issues, same sex marriages and abortion. Morality goes far beyond those two issues. Racism is immoral. I think racial profiling is immoral. I think not providing health care is immoral. To let someone die in a country that is as progressive as ours for the lack of something that is within our power to give them is immoral. It is virtually murder.” Racial profiling is immoral? Well, it most certainly is Mr. Jakes! And you are a big hypocrite! Is it not racial profiling when you lift up a man, known for his violent stance for abortion and same-sex marriage, and praise his presidential nomination? You are praising a murderer!

Mr. Jakes, you mention several things that you find to be vitally important issues. I don’t disagree that some of those things are important. But how could you say that anything is more important than 4,200 babies being slaughtered every day? Oh, what a tragedy if we cannot see the truth…Oh God, open our eyes!

In Christian love,

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING – 6/10/08

Well, once again, we went to the gates of the city to proclaim the truth. It was quite a different atmosphere this time. You could see that a burden was laid on them this time around. The proud looks, that were so prevalent in the last meeting were not there. My prayer is that this burden would lead to godly sorrow. My prayer is that they would repent and be converted.

What a blessing it was to just do what God wanted us to do. As I prepared for this speech, the Holy Spirit reminded me that I can’t worry about whether or not the board changes their policies, but I just had to be faithful in presenting a message that glorified God. Three of us went up there, and God was glorified.

Here is my speech:

Noah Webster; one of our Founding Fathers, as well as a famous educator, said “All the miseries and evils from which men suffer: from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war precede from their despising, or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

Mr. Chairman, members of the board, my name is Adam Tennant.

I stand before you today because our public school system is currently leading our children astray. I come, not only because I have the utmost concern for our children, but I am also here on your behalf. You see, the positions you were elected to put you in a position of responsibility.

In Mark 9:42, Jesus said “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.” You are responsible for teaching these little ones to fear the Lord, that they might not sin against God. That might not be in your job description, but be assured that God is holding you accountable for this.

As I look at this generation of young people, I see a lost generation. By the droves, they are turning to sex, drugs, abortion and suicide. It is no longer shocking to hear of a student murdering his classmates and teachers. Why is this? Well, one major reason is that, in 1980, the United States Supreme Court ruled, in the case of Stone v. Graham, that the posting of the Ten Commandments on a classroom bulletin board were unconstitutional. The court ruled that students may be induced to venerate and possibly even obey the dictates of the Ten Commandments. And, beloved, that is exactly what has happened.

Where am I going with this? Simple. The only hope we have, in rescuing our children, from this sea of iniquity is Jesus Christ. And the only way we can get them to Christ is the Law of Almighty God. Galatians 3:24 says that “the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”

Beloved, no matter how hard you believe that hell is not a real place, that will never change the truth that it is a real place. And so is heaven. If I were to ask all of you if you are good enough to go to heaven, you would probably say yes. Well, have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain? Have you ever looked with lust? Jesus said “Whosoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her in his heart.” Be honest. You can’t hide anything from God. If you are guilty of these, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. That means eternity in hell.

You have just been confronted with the same Law that has been expelled from our schools. So, when you lie in bed tonight, and think about eternity, my prayer is that you will allow Jesus Christ to rescue you from the path of destruction in which you are following.

Remember this: He died to set you free, that you could set others free.
