No Prayer in the White House

Thursday May 7th marks the annual National Day of Prayer. According to a White House statement, president Barack Obama will not host a prayer event as has been the tradition of W. for the past eight years. Presidents H.W. Bush as well as Reagan also held events to commemorate the National Day of prayer, but not this administration. They will mark the day but not observe it.

Here's the thing... President Obama isn't the first president to ever campaign as a Christian and then run an administration that reflects everything but Christian moral values. The Cross has become a campaign vehicle that politicians ride because it provides a key component to electability... Christian votes. Even if in decline, Christianity is still the predominate faith group in America. So, if one lusts for the power of the highest office in the land it must be through the channels of the church. Although, this too is decreasing because the definition of "Christian" has become muddled. Anyone who shows up to Mass on Easter or darkens the door of a church for the annual Christmas cantata claim Christianity today. Therefore, it has become ever so increasingly easy to campaign without flying a flag of Christianity over ones campaign because Christians have lost their identity.

Soon America is going to be devastated by total economic collapse and a terrorist attack, or multiple attacks. When the country is standing in the smoke and ruins of secular failure to whom will they turn? Will the administration then seek God? They will seek Him yet not be able to find Him.

One day this administration will seek a National Day of prayer borne from ruined and failed ideology, as will all of America's politicians who have repeatedly forgotten our Maker and pressed their Mammon driven doctrines. A sad day is coming... Prophets ready your pens when you will write dirges for the passing of such a nation and people as this.
