Proverbs 22:22

Obama is on the move and the intellectuals don't have a clue why. The Christian Right will be back against Obama. I can already see it. I saw a video clip today of John McCain getting off of his campaign bus and right behind him was a very prominent preacher. I have Christian brothers siding on the right for freedom from the terrorist and are God given right to be free, but the question I have to ask my Christian brothers is, what about the right to be free from financial predators. According to conservatives, a whole bunch of poor, low income and lazy folks forced mortgage companies to given them bad loans against the mortgage companies will. It was down right shameful. The mortgage companies have always, always had the people's best interest at hand, but when you have this low income family or a single women breathing over your neck. You tell them in no uncertain terms that their interest rate will double, but they demand that you give them the loan anyway.
I'm being sarcastic because in 2004, we had church folks marching and protesting in front of abortion clinics and have family values rallies, but I have yet to see church folks surrounding mortgage companies like Joshua demanding accountability for their actions. Could it be the new building fund project is financed by the same mortgage company? Odds are, that many of our church's members are victims of shameful game, but where is the outrage? Why aren't the preachers on tv pounding their fist on the Bible demanding that the principles of God's word are not being enforced. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people!!! The Bible is right and somebody's wrong!

Who's on the Lord's side? I'm a soulja in the army of the Lord! Here is what I think. Many of the prophets of the Lord are eating from Jezebel's table. Their principle's have been compromised! They have been bitten by position and status, justified by the Divine Right of Freedom. It is our God given right to go to war.

Where are the prophet Nathans? The men and women of God who can go and tell the King, "Thou art the man." In fact, Nathan would have been arrested and chastised for being "unpatriotic". Let's not forget. Nathan went to David during a time of war, and told the king that his use of the military for means other that those for the protection of Israel was wrong. David used his authority and God given right to Freedom for a cover up. Does this scenario sound familiar? Remember David had it all, but he didn't have Bathesheba. He robbed someone who had less than him and tried to cover it up.

"Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate- Prov. 22:22
