Barack Obama Finds a New Church to Replace Trinity United Church of Christ according to Obama2.com
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 4, 2008 -- Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, wrote a letter to Trinity United Church of Christ's new pastor, Reverend Otis Moss III, to announce their resignation from the church on May 30, 2008, according to Obama2.com (http://www.Obama2.com).
The following day, Senator Obama commented on his decision to leave his church of 20 years.
The decision was in no small part due to controversial and offensive remarks made by Obama's close friends and spiritual advisers, longtime Trinity pastor Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. (http://obama2.com/archives/category/reverend-jeremiah-wright/) and Father Michael Pfleger (http://obama2.com/archives/another-day-another-hateful-preacher-at-obamas-church/).
"It was going to be very difficult to continue our membership there as long as I was running for President. The recent episode with Father Pfleger just reinforced the view that we don't want to have to answer for everything that's stated in a church," commented Obama.
"On the other hand, we also don't want a church subjected to the scrutiny that a presidential campaign legitimately undergoes," continued Barack Obama.
When Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. assumed leadership of Trinity in 1972, he steered the church toward Black Liberation Theology.
Black Liberation Theology is centered on the liberation of African-Americans from white oppression.
The Obamas are now members of the Church of Liberalism.

Sealed With the Holy Spirit
At the moment of salvation when we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and
Savior, three most amazing things will happen. The first is that we get
automatic forgiveness for all of our sins - all past, present and future
sins that we will ever commit.
The Search for Gods Intention
I believe in the source we refer to as 'God'. This is the powerful Universal Energy from which all that is manifests.
Online Bible Study Can Enhance Home School Curriculum
The United Church of God has begun providing free curriculum for homeschooling parents. It's not often that we get anything for free anymore, but the Church of God offers numerous publications and courses, all without cost. These courses are perfect tools for Christian home-schooling parents. As more parents move away from sending their children to schools that do not allow mention of God and the Bible, they are looking for ways to incorporate Bible Scripture into their children's daily studies. The Church's online bible study course is an excellent resource and tool for educating children about life's major questions.

Church Chairs and Used Church Chairs
Church chairs are the most important piece of furniture a congregation can own and when they are in limited supply can hurt the attendance of the congregation and affect the message being taught in the sanctuary. When church members must stand for long periods of time, their focus is turned to the fact that the room does not have enough church chairs instead of the important truths being dispersed by the pastor on stage.

Mindset - Being Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind
The Bible tells us that one of the main goals God has in store for each of us is our transformation. The Bible tells us that God wants to sanctify us - to make us more Holy like He is.
The Coming Out of God
It is ironic that in a world of God worshippers, none of them would recognize God if they seen him/her, eyeball to eyeball. In fact in our present state of evolution if we did recognize him, we would probably stick him up on a cross or make ceramic dolls in his image. As a race we don't like to see our gods in person. We are much more comfortable following in our ancestor's footprints with symbols of gods.
