OH MY!!!!!! What was plan B? I know what happens when we as individuals get into debt. Debt bad. Balance and assests good. Lord Help President Bush, give him wisdom and forsight. We need a president with our best interests at heart and I know that these matters can't be turned around overnight so I ask that you continue to raise up prayer warriors to cover the leader you ordained to do your will, in Jesus name Amen

I'm sorry to tell you this but the Lord doesn't get involved in politics, it's up to you and me to make the right choices. As Jesus said, leave Caesars things to Caesar...

No, but scripture does teach that all those in governmental authority are ultimately placed there by God:

Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

Romans 13:1-2 NASB

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

1 Peter 2:13-14 NASB

So Saddam was put in power by God? And Kim Jong Il and Pol Pot and Stallin and Melosevic and King George and Henry the 8th... All the evil dictators, royalty and despots in history?

Yes

American's will be much better off when this president and congress are finally out of office. When elected to office in our country, you are expected to do the will of the people. These guys only seem to have their interests in mind.

Actually from what I read in the Federalist papers it is not the will of the people that they are supposed to be doing, but for the good of the people was the original idea as written in most of their writings. We are a constitutional Republic, which is a very specialized form of democracy. We are supposed to elect the best people we can find and they are supposed to do the things that are best for our people and to keep the governing of the nation tied to the Constitution. Neither the president or congress or the senate or the courts have been doing that for many many years.......

While much of our people have not turned from God, our society has and our government is in the process of doing the same.... but considering the beast is in the background pulling the strings that should be no surprise to any of us. Just decide whether or not you are going to live by the sword or allow yourself to become slaves to the evil of this world. Just don't join the evil, even at the cost of your life, your spouse's life, the lives of your children nor your pets or all you own.

Be ready to stand quietly for the Lord, for the time to do so is at hand, and wait for that minute to decide what you will do and what you will say for he will give you both if you are close with the Spirit and are listening. Listen for the Lord is what we need to be doing. Watch and learn and listen for His quiet word for all the earth is falling into the hands of Lucifer and his followers....... we have been informed that it will happen and it is in the process of coming to full fruition, and as bad as that sounds....... the Lord Himself is close at hand for we have been promised this also..... but I can't say that I am looking forward to the next 8 or 9 years for if we are at the point of history that I and many others believe we are way over half the population will not be here in the next few years..... I have not decided as of yet if I really care to be one of the survivors, so I'll let the Lord make that decision. I just hope he keeps me with my wife whichever way he chooses.

Here is the dilemma.

We have 5 hurricanes, 911 twin tower disaster, war etc all in the last few years.

You tell me how many other presidents had all of this on their plate.

All of these things cost money.

If the president said okay, no money to help victims, no money to protect our soldiers, no money to protect our homeland etc.. The public would be screaming for his impeachment.

So he spends all this money to help and people are screaming for his impeachment.

You can't please some people.

If the president was given the line item veto like he requested, then spending could be cut.

But the way it is, he has to approve bills for worthless spending to get required items passed.

It's a no win situation.

Well that's all been discussed to death, but there are many that think that we didn't need to do this war...... and we didn't have to do it at all our cost..... and the next one is the same. If you haven't noticed He and his group are just as determined to go after Iran as he was Iraq. We have not seen anything yet. I just hope you still think he is great when most of us are living in the streets when the economy fails and we find out who actually owns the country, and the house you used to live in......

[ted]

No, Iran HAS to be dealt with by the world community.

That would be nice.

The trouble is, they were supposed to help out in Iraq, too.

They failed, and left us holding the bag, for many reasons.....political, monetary (oil for food kick backs), and intestinal weakness.

Most of the other nations in the UN voted for it, but didn't have the coconuts to follow through.

Before we go into Iran, we should get some sort of promise, and signs of real commitment from other countries that vote to actually do something.

They hosed us with the Iraq thing, and we shouldn't fall for it again with Iran.

It's like everyone taking a step back and leaving you looking like the only one to step forward.

At least France is talking manly on this one, with all their "nuclear option" talk. Maybe we should just send them in and decide not to bail them out of it, unlike what we have done for most of their modern conflicts. Let them see how it feels for a while, and give our military a well-deserved rest.

1 Timothy 2

1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
