Wow, Enough Said

ENTERTAINERS AGOG OVER OBAMA (Friday Church News Notes, January 23, 2009, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The filthy entertainment industry is absolutely agog over President Barack Obama. Actor George Clooney said, “He walks into a room and YOU WANT TO FOLLOW HIM SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE,” and actress Halle Berry agreed, “I’LL DO WHATEVER HE SAYS to do. I’ll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear” (Politico, Feb. 20, 2008). When New Age billionaire Oprah Winfrey introduced Obama on December 11, 2007, in Columbia, South Carolina, she called him “AN EVOLVED LEADER” and said, “We’re here to evolve to a higher plane.” She also said he is a “force for peace” who can break down everything that divides, including race and politics and religion. Pop singer/actress Jennifer Lopez gushed, “WASHINGTON NEVER HAD A BIGGER ROCK STAR AT THE HELM; he is just too good” (The Himalayan Times, Jan. 21, 2009, p. 14). She is right. Obama is a rock star because he represents moral relativism, corrupt Christianity and anti-Biblicism (he denies the infallibility of Scripture, hates dogma, rejects the doctrine of hell and salvation through Christ alone), and New Age mysticism (we can create a new world through our own divine-tinged initiative and the power of positive thinking). We are rushing on to the end of the age, but it is not time to hide in a hole and stockpile food; it’s not time to doubt and fear; it is time to awake out of spiritual lethargy, trust in God, walk in obedience and holiness, and try to win souls to Christ before it is too late. “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12).
