As I have watched the events unfold over the past couple of weeks and months I see a lot of the signs of what I know will eventually come. The Bible is a book of prophecy. Everything in the Bible either has happened, is happening, or will happen. As a matter of fact out of the approximately 4- 5000 prophecies in the Bible it is estimated that around 80 to 90 percent have already been fulfilled.

In a recent article, Christian singer Ray Boltz announced that he is gay. He then went on to say that he believes God made him that way and that now, since he has “come out”, regarding living a homosexual lifestyle, he feels closer to God. I am sorry to say it, but Mr. Boltz is deceived.

Many people have opinions about Jesus Christ. Even people of other faiths acknowledge that there was a person by the name of Jesus who lived and walked on the earth around 2000 years ago. I have heard Jesus described as a wise man, a great teacher, a revolutionary, and even a prophet. It seems like most people like to focus on Jesus as just being very nice to people and that he loved everyone. Many people even acknowledge that He started His own belief system and they will accept Him as savior but few people acknowledge Him as Lord.

Let’s dispel some of the myths; let’s talk about the real man named Jesus that was called by some as “The Christ”.

I first would like to say that I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that is a priority in my life. I put that before any other part of my life. There are certain responsibilities that come with that. I am not a political person and I am not looking to endorse a political candidate. As a Christian I do have certain obligations and requirements and they come from the authority of the scriptures. As a Christian I believe that Jesus Christ died so that I can have eternal life and therefore my obligation is to Him and His church.

In the last 7 years or so an interesting this has happened. More and more people are discussing their belief systems. It was clear that since the 2000 presidential election in which George W Bush won the election by making it very clear that he considered himself to be a “Christian”. Since then people (mainly candidates) have been coming out of the woodwork to proclaim their “Christianity”. Although some of these people are clearly doing it for political gain many others seem to be sincere in what they say they believe. But how many people that claim to be Christian really are?

       Going back to the Saddleback forum that took place between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen John McCain. There was a question that both candidates answered correctly. That question was about when an unborn child should receive rights as a human being.
       To recap; Sen. Mccain answered that an unborn child receives rights “at conception”. Sen. Obama answered that the answer of that question is “above his paygrade”. I agree with both answers.
       Because of my strong conviction to my faith I am unapologetically pro-life. I believe that a baby should be considered a human being at conception. Actually based on the Bible, it probably is before conception. God told Jeremiah that “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee” (Jeremiah 1:5). Obviously that is something that we couldn’t even begin to debate.
