Hot Topic

While I am deeply opposed to many of President Barack Obama's political viewpoints, I think the President's speech to the nation's students this morning had an amazing message. I don't have kids yet myself, so maybe I can't relate completely, but I am very surprised at the controversy it has generated. I hope and pray that it will stir and inspire the youth of America. If not this, then I have to ask myself, what?

Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama: Back to School Event

I have been and will continue to pray that the President will seek Christ as he govern's our nation. John Piper comments on his blog , "Given that he is not directing them to Christ, which would be the best counsel, his advice is a wonderful gift of common grace from God to the students of our land. If you settle for the news headlines that say the president tells the kids to wash their hands and take care of the environment, you will miss the wisdom and courage in this speech. Within its spiritual limitations it is simply amazing." Well put Mr. Piper.
