Barack Obama's Christian Faith

There has been much talk about Senator Barack Obama's faith. Many say he is an undercover Muslim. Some say is he is part of Al Qaeda. Still some are not sure. Many have used his middle name as a scare tactic to link him to terrorist networks. The reason it is important to explore his faith and his roots is to establish the truth. Many votes are being cast on what people think instead of what people really know. These are the things that are being said in the Christian community to drive votes away. One major Christian leader said we need to be afraid of Osama and Obama. While rhyming is catchy and it has a little ring to it, we should all seek the truth.

Senator Barack Obama has professed that he believes that Jesus Christ is his personal savior. He also attended the Trinity United Church for Christ for 20 years where accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He married Michelle Robinson in 1992. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

He lived in Hawaii and Indonesia as a child. His grandfather was a Muslim and his father was an atheist. His mother was an agnostic and didn't practice any particular religion. With all of that being said, he found Christ when he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He was drawn to Christ after he felt that something was missing in his life. He attended Catholic and public schools, not madrassas as many in the news have reported.

He does talk about his history and how he grew up. His mother is a Caucasian woman from Kansas and his father is from Kenya. He has a diverse background in race and heritage. His father left when he was young and mother also passed away. This has given him a sense of independence and interdependence on others. This is probably where his ability to reach across the part lines and work with others to establish laws has come in.

Bottom line, he is a Christian regardless of what the news reports. Test the fruits to see if he is of God and remember to pray before you vote! Let God lead you during this election season whether it be Senator McCain or Senator Obama. God can use a Democrat or a Republican as long as they have accepted the Lord as their personal savior and they are guided by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide us in all truth, let Him be your guide this election season.
