Presidential Faith

The Sojourners sponsored a debate to give the Democrats an opportunity to "explain" their faith. Hmm. I did not watch but caught the sound bites. In viewing those sound bites I have never seen folks so uncomfortable as they were taking about their faith. Could it be they really don't have any, because their statements did not convince me. Neither did their body language.

I don't see how some of these folks sleep at night knowingly deceiving people about some faith they really don't aspire to. There is no evidence in their public life to show me this. And don't go there with that tired argument that faith is personal and private. It is not. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to hide your faith. And these folk hide their's until it is prudent to let someone know that they even think about God once a year or so.

I don't buy this attempt by the liberals to show they have what a lot of "faith based" voters base their vote on.

Living by faith is a daily lifestyle, lived by the moment. Not without failure, but with the conviction that God is in control of what you do and say. Still, no evidence. Churches have given over to the government our responsibility of taking care of the poor and widows. Much like Adam gave over paradise. Many have bought into entitlement. Entitled to what exactly?

I usually don't look for a candidate to say he is a Christian. It is too easy to lie. But if he does say, then I look for evidence in his walk. As the old saying goes, "The proof is in the pudding".

Good day.
