Recently, May 9th 2010, the President gave a commencement speech to the 2010 graduating class of Hampton University. In this speech he has spread quite a few falsehoods that are quite scary, especially coming from the office of the the President of the United States. This has no longer become a conspiracy to completely change the direction of America, it has become an agenda to forever alter the minds of America. Here are a few excerpts from the recent speech:
"So education is what has always allowed us to meet the challenges of a changing world. And Hampton, that has never been more true than it is today. This class is graduating at a time of great difficulty for America and for the world. You're entering a job market, in an era of heightened international competition, with an economy that's still rebounding from the worst crisis since the Great Depression. You're accepting your degrees as America still wages two wars -- wars that many in your generation have been fighting."
Really? Education is what has allowed us to meet challenges? Where did God go? Was it Jesus who said that we need to educate ourselves for our future? Or did He comfort us by saying, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the earth." In the book of Acts the disciples confounded the Pharisees and other leaders with their wisdom, which might I add, came from God, not some institution of "higher learning." These were simple fishermen with no formal education and they turned the world upside down in THEIR generation because they possessed some great education? Absolutely not, it was because they had been with God.
If knowledge is truly power then why do we need God? The remarks of this President and of many others in our nation are very similar. We need a greater emphasis on education. The REAL truth is we need a greater emphasis on who God is and what He has done for us! We have over the course of time perverted what our nation was founded on. Many of the first colleges in the United States were started as places to train young men to be pastors. Both Princeton and Harvard were started with this as the goal and America benefited from this directly. People were taught in school how to seek God and obey God, not seek the government and what it can do for you. Taking prayer and even God out of our schools, what has THAT taught us? If education is really so important Mr. President, let us educate ourselves and what has happened to our country since these things were taken out of our schools.
