A Purpose-Driven Choice

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: December 21, 2008

Obama's Democratic critics speak volumes…

Obama's made a purpose-driven choice
bout who will pray
when he takes the oath of office
on Inauguration Day.

He hopes to curry favor 
with the Evangelicals
but by his choice his left-wing base
has grown quite cynical.

They say Rick Warren's phobic
of both lesbians and gays
and that Barack should change his mind 
in terms of him who prays.

I guess they think that reaching out
to those "who aren't like you"
means atheists, agnostics 
and the non-religious Jews.

Befriending one who follows Christ
is just unthinkable.
The liberal base views tolerance
to Christians as pure bull.

Amazingly the day has come
when Biblicists draw fire
and those embracing timeless truth
have raised the critics' ire.

Can you believe this pastor
who resembles Billy Graham
is rendered unacceptable
and un-American?

My God, how far we've fallen
from the standards You once blessed.
We're sinking in the quicksand
of depraved unrighteousness.
