PTM WEEKLY UPDATE -- NOVEMBER 23, 2009

Stop the political noise pollution
An open letter to friends and family -- please remove me from your anti-Obama email lists!

Please . . . if you can't help sending out anti-Obama emails, YouTube videos, jokes, bumper stickers, cartoons, Facebook "causes," sneering comments (direct or implied), unverified stories or other propaganda -- I ask that you remove me from your e-mail and Facebook lists immediately.

I am receiving so many emails from people who claim to be "Christians" with their lips, but their emails are proving otherwise. It is very sad, not only to see so many people blinded by anger and ignorance, but even more people taking advantage of that anger and ignorance (and laziness, I might add) by starting and spreading these emails.

I know it's so easy to get sucked into all the political noise and what-not (heaven knows I've wasted enough time with it). But the only thing these types of emails are proving is that America is certainly NOT being a Christian nation. America is being destroyed...not because of Obama, but because the people are destroying each other. It seems that many "Christians" don't even realize that they're breathing life into and becoming their very own "anti-Christ".

I did not vote for Obama, or for McCain. In fact, I did not vote at all -- I didn't see any candidate worth voting for, and Jesus Christ wasn't on the ballot. But I am SO sick of the political division, and especially wary of those who say, "Oh, we need to pray for our President!" -- then turn around and, with a lazy push of the "send" button, forward these kinds of back-biting emails, crass jokes -- or opinions disguised as "facts".

Until we have learned to love God, love one another (including Obama) -- heck, even love our enemies (Matthew 5:44) -- what business does ANYONE have calling themselves a Christian? (1 Corinthians 13)

God have mercy on America.
