OBAMA’S HUBRIS NEGATES FINAL CHECK-OUT

J. Grant Swank, Jr.


Barack Hussein Obama discounts the realism of the final check-out. His pride is in zenith gear at the moment; no doubt his residence at Pennsylvania Avenue does him no good in correcting that.


Obama claims to be a Christian, member of a church, and delights in quoting Scripture. He has befriended various clergy, especially of the liberal bent though at times even giving in to evangelical dialogue.


During his campaign, Obama sponsored gospel concerts in the US Bible Belt. He climbed pulpit stairs to address congregations on Sunday mornings.


Obama early on stated that he answered an ‘altar call’ at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. For an altar call to be scheduled in a liberal sanctuary is something else. He witnessed that he met Christ at that juncture.


That church would have had to be white-hating Jeremiah Wright’s. How all Wright’s rant fits in with an old-fashioned Dwight L. Moody style altar call is beyond me.


Nevertheless, the point is that Obama has not followed through with a biblical lifestyle or scriptural ethics in public life; consequently, whatever happened in his soul was not a bone fide conversion to Christ as Lord.


Obama in fact belongs to one of the arch-theologically liberal denominations in existence. He attended for two decades a demented cultic type local church overseen by a warped black preacher who taught black elitism vs. white values.


Therefore, for Obama to continue on the theologically liberal journey is to understand how he takes no serious note of the Judgment Seat of Christ. The theologically liberal carve our their own religion, even calling it “Christian.”


They create their own moral base. They discount the God of the Bible, sideline Christ as Master, and believe that much of Scripture is myth.


Obama is a prime example of this persona. His wife joins him in that.


Now that he is in the Oval Office, hubris rules his life more than ever, though in prior years it propelled him to claim the impossible. That has led the non-thinking to follow him in mob hysteria, giving him messianic status.


The Bible teaches that every mortal will appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ at death. That includes every human born since Adam and Eve. That includes those of every religion and of no religion. One cannot escape the final check-out—the Judgment Seat of Christ.


It is at that experience that the soul confronts the One who said He was “the way, the truth and the life.” Each of us therefore stands before Eternal Truth in Christ. Each of us gives an account of every motive, word and deed that transpired during our lifetime.


Obama will do the same. However, by his support of sodomy, for instance, he evidently does not care that God does not support sodomy.


It is the same with his endorsement of killing womb babies. Obama has no regard for deity’s abhorrence of abortion.


Obama lies. Therefore, he has no qualms about sleeping with lies accumulating during his daily rounds.


Obama is totally opportunistic. He says and does
what will further Obama, not adhering to scriptural expectations.


Now of course there are scores of others who live that same immorality; however, what is unique about Obama naturally is that he is the President of the United States. His power over America is exerted mainly in the groove of anti-God, anti-Bible.


Obama gives no indication that he is going to change. However, biblical believers know that their responsibility under heaven is to pray for Obama’s conversion to Christ as Lord of life.


In that, real Christians follow through by having faith to believe that miracles are possible, even Barack Hussein Obama finding a brokenness of heart before the Lord. He can confess his sins, repent of his hubris and reach out for divine acceptance.


At present, all of that does not seem to be in the offing. Nevertheless, real Christians always pray sincerely for the impossible. And so they intercede on behalf of Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama and their children to be genuinely saved.
