During Revival, Media Still Atone Deaf

yoweri_museveni_L.jpgWhile America grows increasingly hostile to faith, Uganda is showing the world what can be accomplished when leaders embrace it. During the 50th anniversary of his country's independence, President Yoweri Museveni stood before the world and publicly led Uganda in a prayer of personal and national repentance. " I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. We ask for your forgiveness," he said. "We confess [our] sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation." After a lengthy confession that included everything from sexual immorality to pride, bitterness and rebellion, Museveni took the very powerful step of dedicating Uganda to God. "We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfill what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own."

It was an inspirational moment for the nation, which has stood--often alone--for traditional values, abstinence, and families despite tremendous pressure from the West. "The Museveni prayer is a model for all Christian leaders in the world," Rev. Scott Lively believes. Unfortunately, the media is so threatened by religion that it refuses to leave another country alone to pursue its own views on sexuality and faith. Since Museveni's speech, the press has ridiculed Uganda for bending its knee to a higher power--the same higher power that Americans have to thank for our great nation. In times like these, President Musevni's humility should be emulated, not criticized. It is faithfulness like his that will raise Uganda's status as a new power in Africa.

  • When Barack Obama mirrors President Museveni, then America will begin restoration of Godly principles our nation was founded upon.

    • BHO will NEVER do that. He is too arrogant. Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a great fall.

      • Amen Craig.........seems we covered your very Scripture yesterday in Church.

  • That's what I'm thinking.

  • This is what America should be doing as oppossed to re electing (fraudulently) a Communist!

  • In addition, until we do repent, fast, and pray to restore America to her Covenant with God, we will continue to be ruled by evil.

  • As long as our leaders have others to blame, they will never accept the responsibility of prayer to God, nor allow America's people to openly do so.
  • This has been America's problem
    for decades now. We are 180° away
    from our 'founding' principles and
    morality. Our 'history',( which michelle obama said "we need to
    change") is replete with these facts.
    God Himself said, " the nation that
    forgets God,shall be turned into
    hell". Read the Mayflower Compact',
    Patrick Henry's, 'Call to Arms' the true history of 'Thanksgiving', Washington's 'Farewell Address',
    could say more but space and time
    restrict me. Bottom line, look at the'democrat platform' from their
    convention this year, they hate God!
    America must repent, starting at the
    top,( never happen), God's mercies
    are renewed each morning, He will
    not withhold His judgement forever.
    "In times past, God winked at ignorance, but now commandeth all men, everywhere to repent" obama
    is God's instrument of 'judgement'.
    Remember 'sodom and gomorrah'?
  • How embarrasing for the United States to have to take a lesson from Uganda. I never thought I would see the day when ANY other country would surpass ours in Faith OR leadership. And O'dhimmi just keeps on stabbing us in the heart.
