Ugandan president repents of personal, national sins
While Museveni is being held as a model for Christian leaders, Dave Daubenmire, PT Salt Ministries’ president and founder and social commentator, said the problem for Western nations goes deeper than the political leaders.
The problem in the United States, he said, is the pastors.
“Sadly, I think our lack of repentance is the fault of the pulpit. Individual Christians are so awash in sin that they think politicians are merely better at sin than they are,” Daubenmire said.
“There is no fear of the Lord and we are getting essentially a two-kingdom message. We hear that the devil is the god of this world and that Jesus will even the score later,” Daubenmire said. “The problem is that most Christians are convinced that this world is in control of Satan and therefore are not interested in applying the kingdom principles for which Christ died.”
Daubenmire quoted Matthew 28:18, in which Jesus said, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” - so why are we getting screwed here on earth?
What's interesting to me is the poll, the invisible god... Don't know what kind of group or parties the site attracts.
- Yes. God is real, sin is real, it's consequences are destroying us and repentence is our only hope – any "leader" worth the name should be eager to pray (49%, 245 Votes)
- Yes. We've seen how God judges us when our leaders are wicked – perhaps he will bless us if our leaders repent and acknowledge Him (20%, 99 Votes)
- Yes, but I don't see it happening – today's leaders are getting elected by validating sin, not condemning it (10%, 49 Votes)
- Yes, the Bible says a ruler's authority is given by God so we may live quiet, peaceable lives – when sin disrupts that, the ruler is answerable to God (10%, 49 Votes)"
