There has been a video circulating on the internet from the Gamaliel Foundation of a bunch of community organizers that are apparently praying to Barack Obama. I'll admit, when I first watched it, I was shocked that the people were in a church chanting, "Save us Obama!" and "Deliver us Obama!" Then, after watching it again, I noticed that only a few of them were saying, "Obama." Most were saying, "Save us oh God."
I also noticed that what the people were saying was not as repulsive as what this "priestess" was saying. This is a long read, but a necessary one. I will take the verse this woman totally took out of context, and put it back in context. Basically, this is a little study of Jeremiah seven and eight. What's incredible about reading Jeremiah, today, is that you don't really need to build any bridges to apply it to today. The bridges are already there. If you can't see them, you are blind. Let me know what you think.
Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soSvifuYAVQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soSvifuYAVQ)
