Unbeleiveable!  Just this morning I saw the article posted on the Drudge Report.  I still cannot believe it.  The article reports on Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Senator Hillary Clinton, touring prominent gay bars in PA. 

If you have the stomach, go ahead and read this article on msnbc -  http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/19/921148.aspx

Given the choice between Hillary and Obama, and cannot understand how any devoted Christian can remain a member of the Democratic Party.  Already in Congress there have been attempts made to force a radical homosexual agenda on the American people, and yes, even our churches and religous organizations.  If either Hillary and Obama are elected, I suspect that not only will we see more of such legislation proposed, but even passed with support from the White House.  Of course, this is all done in the name of tolerance, love and acceptance.

Christians need to wake up and see what is going on in the world around us,  Burying our heads in the sand and waiting for the rapture is not what Christ would have us to do.  We need more pastors, churches and believers willing to stand up for righteousness.  We cannot afford to be silent.

More than just a political statement for "family values," we must be willing to declare sin to be just that, sin.  This world needs to know they have offended a sovereign, holy God who tells us the wages of this sin is death.  Only then can we share with them the wondrous truth about the gospel.  Without a knowledge of sin there is no need of a saving of any kind from it. 
This is a message that will not be heard in any political campaign or press release.  Pastors, Churches and Christians need to start doing their job once again.  When high-profile presidential candidates and government officials can take such offensive actions, how can the church remain silent?  Who else is there to voice their outrage? 

We have allowed issues such as homosexuality and abortion to become merely political issues instead of theological and moral issues.  The Bible has much to say on both of these issues.  Matters of human sexuality, orientation and certainly matters of life and death are absolutely issues that Scripture addresses and our Lord has given commands concerning.  Yet, they have become merely political issues in the minds of most Americans simply because politicians are the only ones speaking about them!  Again, America's pulpits have remain silent, by and large.

Where is the modern-day John the Baptist who stand firm against the immorality of modern day Herods?  If Christians will not declare the truth against sin, who will?  Christians, wake up!
