Did anybody see this?

Did anyone see the letter that Focus on the Family wrote? It's a hypothetical letter, written from a Christian's perspective in the year 2012, looking back at Barack Obama's presidency.

You can check it out here: Focus on the Family letter. (It is 16 pages long, though, so you may want to do it when you have free time. Or print it out.)

Here is what Christianity Today had to say about it.

A basic run-down is...

"The letter proposes these scenarios:
-The Supreme Court would lean liberal

-Churches that refuse to perform same-sex marriages would lose their tax-exempt status

-“under God” in the Pledge would be declared unconstitutional


-Doctors and nurses who won't perform abortions will no longer be able to deliver babies


-Pornography would be openly displayed on newsstands


-Inner-city crime increases when gun ownership is restricted


-Homeschooling would become restricted, so thousands of homeschooling parents emigrate to other countries such as Australia and New Zealand.


- "Since 2009, terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing

hundreds, and the entire country is fearful, for no place seems safe."

-Euthanasia is becoming more and more common.


-New carbon emission standards drive many coal-powered electric plants out of business. "The country has less total electric power available than in 2008, and periodic blackouts to conserve energy occur on a regular schedule throughout the nation."


Hmmm, I can see several of these things happening...

What do you think?

Sorry... had to laugh. If we did not KNOW who our God is... we would ALL want to run away from the upcoming events.

Hi I found you via your Not Me Monday post! I need to go read FoF and read the article.

We're living in some scary times I truly believe.

We are a homeschooling family, also a military one and live in Germany. If we were German citizens we would not be allowed to Home school...it's one of the few laws Hitler created that is still on the books.

Thankfully we fall under US law and are allowed to.
