Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last week, President Barack Obama said his policies were grounded in his Christian beliefs, and his push for a more equitable economy was consistent with the teachings of Jesus.
He said the Bible teaches us to “be doers of the word and not merely hearers.” We should each have a living, breathing, active faith; and then give of ourselves for the betterment of others.
President Obama also told how he and veteran evangelist, the Reverend Billy Graham had met and prayed for each other.
He said, “I have fallen on my knees with great regularity since that moment, asking God for guidance not just in my personal life and my Christian walk, but in the life of this nation and in the values that hold us together and keep us strong.”
Perhaps we should arrange a meeting between Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Billy Graham.
