To vote for Obama is unjustifiable and immoral. What makes him a christian? Is it the fact he stands for abortion when the scriptures clearly condemn it? Is it the fact he is for gay marriage when God defined marriage between a man and woman? Is it the fact that hes helping to teach children gender confusion and homosexuality under the false banner of anti bullying? Is it the fact that he openly mocked the Bible? Is it the fact that he perverts the scriptures to suit his political means?

I must admit I do get fed up with the Americans speaking about Black Americans...What about for Black men in general!!!!!

Im not follwing no man period but Jesus Christ specially a strong man full of pride. If I were to follow a man I would make sure he was weak because weak men are humble and admit their faults truth tellers most of them very humble and the grace of GOD covers them and gives them power! Thats who I want to gleen off of!

Bishop Jakes: "The lifting up of the woman does not require the tearing down of the man."

The current policies at state (social services) and federal (Title IV-D) level reward the minimzation of the role of fathers. This change will require a national movement to counteract a system of courts, legislators and special interest groups who see profit in driving fathers out of childrens lives. Many father want a more active role in their children's live, but the system is against us. #ParentRights

This is a incredible message that will make some mad, and others insightful as to responsibility and the core values that we sometimes have trouble upholding. I can still remember working with the Bishop in Austin in the early years.
