Once again, on the evening news the other day the extremist were at it, they had a priest who was denying communion to those who voted for Obama. What makes this interesting to me is that they needed to confess their sin and they would be reinstated into the church. I wonder if we could just add extra to the offering each week if that we be acceptable? Oh, but wait, I think that someone address that problem by nailing his 95 Thesis to the church doors in Germany (Martin Luther). It seems that history may need to be repeated.
In another article a South Carolina Roman Catholic priest characterized those who voted for Obama as "material cooperation with intrinsic evil." Well, if the priest wants to get down to it, the Bible claims that the heart of man is evil, which makes us all evil. And as the Bible states "we all fall short of the glory of God".
I must question the priest motives. If it is concern for the people, then he and his fellow priest need to do a spiritual inventory and clean their house first. The harboring of sexual predators and allowing them to exists for generations seems to be intrinsically evil on its own. Then consider the years of treatment of the victims, who is the evil one now?
If his motive is political, then he is abusing his power by holding someone's eternal destiny at stake if you don't agree with him.
I go back to my mantra, they have failed to reach the hearts of men so they want to make their will law. The rule of law will not make people righteous before God. It must come from the heart, which has been their charge. Plus, they just love the taste of power and wealth that politics gives them.
It's time people took their churches back and care for each other and really show the love of Christ.

I like to refer to the problem as "putting the cart before the horse." How can we reach people with the gospel if we make them angry first with our righteousness? We must reach out to them with the love of Christ.
