“Faith-Based Partnerships Ban Truth & Freedom”
by Berit Kjos
February 24th, 2009

Selling our souls in the name of service?

"Barack Obama will establish a new President's Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships within the White House. The Council will work to engage faith-based organizations and help them abide by the principles that federal funds cannot be used to proselytize..."

"If you get a federal grant, you can’t use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can’t discriminate against... the people you hire on the basis of their religion.'” Barack Obama

" ... we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. '” Acts 4:18-19 [The disciples' response when commanded not to share their faith.

Why is our government so hostile to the Christian message of God's love? Why would America follow the intolerant ways of Communist and Islamic nations that outlaw genuine Christian ministries to the hungry and homeless? Which social and political goals are fueling this war on God's Truth?

One clue may be found in Barack Obama's "Call to Renewal" speech on June 28, 2006. He said,

"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific values. "

Obama hired Pastor Joshua DuBois to head up his Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Considering their diverse backgrounds, the two seem surprisingly compatible. Notice how Pastor DuBois echoes the words of President Obama:

"Our democracy demands that when people are religiously motivated you have to translate your concerns into universal rather than religion-specific values."

Apparently, our new president wants us to trade our Biblical values for evolving illusions! He tells us to build our faith on the shifting sands of cultural ideals rather than the immovable rock of God's Word. We would be fools to follow such devious demands!

This paradigm shift began decades ago! Progressive education and compromising churches have paved the way. Trying to please man rather than God, they willingly embraced the enticing "universals" that rule out His guidelines.

No plan will undermine those "divisive" old truths more effectively than Obama's system of "service learning." Through a top-down hierarchy of partnerships -- government, churches and community groups -- trained facilitators will guide group dialogue at every level of this pyramid until all participants embrace the evolving consensus.

While gathering data on each participant, the leaders of this Washington-based communitarian system will--

"...launch a program to 'Train the Trainers' by empowering hundreds of intermediary nonprofits and larger faith-based organizations to train thousands of local faith-based and community-based organizations on best practices, grant-making procedures, service delivery and limitations.

"The Office will host regular training sessions for selected community training partners. These partners – for example, a statewide Islamic umbrella organization, Catholic Charities office, or Lutheran Services branch... – would be supported to travel to Washington and learn how to train compliance, avoiding, understanding hiring rules, and reporting outcomes. These organizations would return to their communities as certified providers of advice...." local faith-based and community organizations on... remaining in proselytizing

Sounds like total government control, doesn't it? Since our president calls each of us to "serve," participation could be vast. And with next year's National Census (2010) controlled by the White House, not Congress, Obama may request whatever private information his plan requires.

Obama's adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski would probably be pleased. This former National Security Advisor -- who founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller -- seems to support Marxist totalitarianism. In his book, Between Two Ages, he wrote:

"Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief."

"Marxism, disseminated on the popular level in the form of Communism, represented a major advance in man’s ability to conceptualize his relationship to his world."

"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most important information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."

"I’ve learned an immense amount from Dr. Brzezinski," said Obama.

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
