1Corinthians 9:18 "What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make use of my rights in preaching it." (NIV)

My name is Kate.  I strive to live my life every single day for the Glory of God.  But do I succeed at that?  Absolutely not.  I fall short, every single day.  But I am saved by the Blood of Christ; and I strive to further His Kingdom, even though I know I will fall short.  Why?  Because it is what I am called to do.  Through music and relationships.  Those are the gifts I was entrusted with, and since I did not ask for them, I had better use them to the best of my ability.  I will not hide them under a rock, instead I will stand on The Rock and use them for The Glory of God!

Alarming?

Is it alarming to anyone else all the hype and 'following' going on with our new President?

This 'savior' complex, whether it is self imposed or not, is terrifying if you ask me. Jesus is the Savior, there is none other.

So while Obama is my President, and I will be keeping him and his administration in my prayers--but I will not place my hope in him. There is a difference between respecting someone as your leader, and agreeing with what they're doing. I can disagree with him without disrespecting the position he is in. There is a difference.

I blogged about it a few times already in the past few days on my
personal blog (this link is to the entire month of January 2009--so you might need to scroll down to read them). I never talk about politics...but I had to get all of this off of my chest apparently.

To God be the Glory, and to Jesus His Son--there is no hope except in Jesus. I'm worried this Truth is getting lost in the hype of the media--and the world gets so wrapped up in the media so fast. It's scary.
