B. Hussein nixes government created by God for God
By Grant Swank

Biblical believers hold that divine revelation states forthrightly that God created all "thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. . .by Him and FOR Him."

The apostle Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote that to the Colossian believers: "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him." (Colossians 1:16)

Those who despise the God of the Bible with its moral code thereby despise God both creating all things and expecting all things to honor Him as deity.

Consequently, unbelievers war against anything having to do with the God of the Bible. They are totally given to installing the impossible, that is, a world secularized without its Creator.

A totally secularized world without the God of the Bible is hell.

When the God of the Bible is respected as both Creator and one honored by world dominions, then shades of heaven shine through to bring blessing and health.

That is why when government turns against the God of the Bible, civility begins to collapse into chaos. Such cultures then are dominated by dictatorial regimes that use humans as fodder, crushing civility at every turn.

When government turns to honor the God of the Bible, culture realizes peace and hope. Culture comes upon service to one's neighbor and praise to the Creator God.

America has enjoyed a history of honoring the God of the Bible. That has brought to this country untold blessings, many of them enjoyed by unbelievers as well.

There is a common grace from the God of the Bible that settles upon a culture that at its base honors Him.. That common grace extends even to those persons who do not align themselves with the God of the Bible.

However, when government purposefully rebels against the God of the Bible, then His presence is knowingly rejected. That leaves a vacuum in which demons inhabit.

Witness those vacuums around the globe to recognize barbarism that results when the God of the Bible is purposefully rejected in favor of secularism.

Now America is confronted with B. Hussein Obama who would secularize the Republic.

If he rules from the White House, his cohorts will reject the God of the Bible at every turn. They despise God's moral code. They want their own immorality as the unethical base to the country.

If B. Hussein's approach to government and ethics is adopted in the main, America will be in for a very rough road ahead. The innocent likewise will suffer, though their witness to the God of the Bible will be honored by heavenly strength.

The upcoming elections not only have to do with policy and agenda. More importantly they focus on whether the God of the Bible is rejected as due His right to dominions and principalities..

Colossians 1:16: "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."
