my soul would choose suffocation, death rather than

Everyone and their mothers will comment on the Inauguration today, and every Christian who voted for Obama will claim victory and rejoice along with the rest of the world. You think siding with the world is somehow a good thing? Those same Christians will rebuke those believers who refuse to watch the celebrity celebration that is the inauguration of Obama, and will rebuke them for turning their backs on someone God allowed into office.

Be clear on this: just because God appoints those in authority does NOT mean He approves of them.

Take your lesson from 1Sam8. The people of Israel almost as one voice cry out for a king, and the Lord is absolutely against it, knowing the evil that will be caused by the man the people adore. God finally allows the people to make their bad decision, leaves them to their own devices. And He then warns them of the wickedness that will be wrought by their chosen leader and tells them "Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

Israel, meet Saul. America, meet Obama. Believers, meet the fruits of wickedness borne by the seeds of your bad choices.
