In a rousing prayer session, led by Dr. Rick Scarborough of Vision America, Bishop Jackson spoke briefly and prayed for Tea Party conventioneers last night. During his remarks, the bishop declared, "I have not found Nazis here or racists here. I have found Americans who love their country and are prepared to stand up for the values we believe in."
Jackson added, "We do not care that Obama is black, we just want him to be red, white and blue."
Bishop E.W. Jackson is President of STAND -- Staying True to America's National Destiny. In addition to speaking last night, he will be joining Dr. Scarborough for a break out session on Saturday morning to help organize pastors to advance Christian values in the public square.
Says Jackson, "I am one of the most blessed people on earth to have been born a citizen of the United States of America. My forefather paid the price of slavery for me to be here, and I love this country. I do not like what President Obama is doing to it. The Tea Party offers tremendous hope of voting out the people who are taking this country in an unconstitutional and ungodly direction. I support them wholeheartedly and urge black Christians and all black Americans who hold Judeo-Christian values to join with them."
Bishop Jackson and Dr. Scarborugh are working to bring people together across racial and cultural lines, as Jackson puts it, "To stand up for the values which made this nation great."

Blacks, don't you know that God turned things around for our good. Our black ancestors were introduced to Jesus Christ by the our ancestors white ancestors. There is no better gift anyone can receive than the gift of eternal life. Eternal life (not death) is received only through Christ. Obama sees Christ as just a good man who did good deeds.
Forgive, brothers and sisters, forgive and do the right thing. Follow Christ. Live a life pleasing to Him.

Bishop E. W. Jackson why don't you stand before the tea party and remind them good Christian folks that if they are Christ's people called by Christ's Name, ask them to turn from their wicked ways, pray seek Christ's face. Christ promised that he would heal anything that was ailing this good old USA. You can tell them that God don't like name calling. You can also tell them that Love will cover a multitude of sins, including President Obama's.
Why not try Jesus way instead of some dissatisfied Republican Party Members

AMEN!
Yes, True love can cover a multitude of sin. Even the bitterness and hated you seem have towards the members of the Tea Party. God is a loving God, and He will forgive you once you repent. I said, "seem to have" because I don't know for sure. Only you and God know.
