Is President Obama a Christian or a Muslim?

Its been going on for quite a while now, people all over the nation are constantly bringing up that they believe that the President is a Muslim. Of course on the other side, there are people who say that he is a Christian. Its been quite a contentious debate lately. Is he or isn't he? Does he go to church or doesn't he? Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Here's an article that I found about the subject that may interest you if finding the religion of our President is something important to you. Read it Here. Its an interesting article. You should read it.
 
I'm sure a few of you are reading this blog because of the title. Hoping that I would use my blog as a means to push forth an agenda or political rant for or against our President.
 
Not today folks. Today, its on you.
 
Sometimes I wear this shirt, and on the back it says, "Accused of being a Christian? Is there enough evidence to convict you?" Sure, its a Christian T-shirt, not a Bible verse, but I like the sentiment of it. There seems to be a thought amongst many Christian's today that our faith as Christians is a personal faith that exists only in our hearts, not in our words or deeds. I don't think that is true.
 
If you are a person who believes in Jesus and considers yourself a Christian, and you became President, would people have to wonder about your faith, or would it be so clear that there would be no questions. Would a reporter from a paper, after talking to your family and friends have no problem confirming your faith, or would they struggle to find any evidence?
 
I agree, its not about evidence, its about faith. The evidence doesn't make you a Christian, your faith does. But no one wonders if I am into cycling because I don't own a bicycle.
 
My thought is that If you eat enough of the bread of life, there will be some crumbs lying around.
 
How to apply it today? Don't go around making up stuff to convince people that you're a Christian.  Just remember if you are, to not hide it or conceal it. Trying to discern the faith of our President has exactly zero ramifications on your own faith. If what you believe doesn't match up with who you are, that is not a good thing.  The Bible teaches that we should let our light shine before world, and frankly we can't do it if no one knows what we believe.
 
Be the light.
 
Be blessed

  1. This is the 2nd blog I read today concerning this subject today.

    The first gives more evidences as to why neither political side can truly claim the Christian high ground.

    It would be interesting to have a group read the various 'Faith of...' books referenced.
