Mike Huckabee: An Answer to Christians' Prayers....So Why Aren't the Christians Answering Back???

this perplexes me. i don't understand.

here we have govenor mike huckabee. a man who embodies the foundational values and truths of the evangelical christian. and here in the united states, we have multiple churches on street corners throughout the country. so why aren't christians clamouring to support and embrace mike huckabee?? what's wrong with this picture??

i'm assuming it's just a matter of 'getting the word out'?? or perhaps, as it was in my case, it's apathy and a general disinterest in politics or political issues that kept me away and uninformed?

or maybe it's the fear of what people might think? i know i didn't want to rock the boat and discuss anything political with friends, family or fellow church goers. political issues were commonly known as a 'no-no' topic and rarely, if at all, discussed. after all, i didn't want people to think i was one of those 'over-zealous-wacko-political-activist types'... ;)

for many churches or ministries, maybe it's the fear of getting too close to violating irs law? i don't quite understand how the law works or the details or nuances of it. but maybe there's a chance that some of the non-profits out there don't fully understand it ,either? maybe we should try and find out more about the limitations of that law..so as to free up more latitude for non-profit leaders to engage. it's my understanding that 'at least on a personal level', leaders of non-profit organizations can endorse and support a canidate or political party.

i really don't know the answer to the $1,000,000 question..."where is the support from the christian community?" maybe as govenor huckabee gets more exposure and the word continues to get out, we're on the cusp of it exploding!

but as for those not yet involved, i certainly understand .. for i was just like that up until now. yet, here i sit on august 21, 2007, writing a blog entry in an effort to encourage christians to act and support mike huckabee for president. who knew? God works in mysterious ways!

ya know, i was thinking to myself, "somebody of significance, somebody of impact in the christian community has got to step up and out and take a stand for govenor huckabee! they need to lead the charge! "

although, for many, the technicality of whether they "personally" endorse him vs. their church or ministry..and how they go about doing it..seems to be somewhat of a sticking point. a sticking point that feels like the achilles heel for the christian mobilization efforts. we've got to figure a way to get 'unstuck' here.

and yet these christian leaders we desire to engage...how will we ever realistically reach one of these people?? they are leaders who are surrounded by layers of people and inundated with thousands of emails daily. will they really get and read my email?

although, i will continue to send emails and hope and pray fervently that God will raise up a christian leader to make a stand for govenor huckabee. i realize in a greater way... it really and truly begins with each one of us. we may not be leaders or have a great impact on communities of people...but we 'can do our part' to spread the word, support, contribute and PRAY for govenor huckabee.

"the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." phil 4:16b

when the odds are stacked against us, as it is with govenor huckabee....these are the times when GOD PROVES HIMSELF STRONG!! as we are dilligent in doing what we can...'walking in a manner worthy of our calling' (eph 4:1) ...trusting the Lord...Praying ...God can do great things! time and time again, in the Bible, God embraces and lifts up the underdog... and time and time again God is victorious!

"behold, I am the Lord God of all flesh,
is there anything too hard for me?"
jerimiah 32:27

come on christians, let's do what we can and TRUST GOD to do the rest.

blessings to you....
