The article also talks about the Obama’s lack of a church home. Before becoming president, Barak Obama and his family belonged to Trinity United Church of Christ. They withdrew their membership once controversies began surfacing around the church’s pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Now that they have moved to the White House, is it feasible for the first family to have church home? Imagine what it would be like to have the Obamas walk in your church every Sunday. That would be an unbelievable distraction.

I know some of you are thinking that it would only be a distraction initially, and the congregation would adjust after a couple of weeks. I don’t think an adjustment would take place so quickly. We’re talking about a President and his family that have been placed on the largest pedestal you can imagine. I would dare say that they are worshiped by millions of people. Instead of focusing on God, many people would be focusing on the Obama family.

It doesn’t seem like a typical church life is in the cards for them. Imagine being a member at the church the Obama’s attend regularly. You would probably need to go through a metal detector before you enter the church. Along with the ushers, you can expect to see Secret Service agents standing in the isles. They may even be disguised as ushers, deacons and choir members. While you are standing to sing along with the worship team, you’ll hear a voice behind you saying, “Excuse me, you are blocking my shot.” That voice will be one of the dozens of photographers who follow the Obamas wherever they go.

While I’m sure any church would be honored to have the Obamas as members, it would be a mess. This is not like having Jay-Z and Beyonce attend your church. This would be 1,000 times more complicated. I know presidents have attended church services in the past, but those presidents were not named Barak Obama.

Here is what the Obamas might want to consider doing. They could attend church online. I know this is not the most social option, but they could get some good biblical teaching with a lot less hassle.

Another option is that they can start having services at the White House. Non-Christian Americans would probably be upset that their tax dollars are being used to fund Christian services at the White House. However, this is not a terribly bad option. The White House has tons of different people on staff. Why not have a White House pastor.

To learn more about Barak Obama you should consider reading his book Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.

What do you think? Should the Obamas have a church home?

I could be wrong about this whole thing. However, I am not concerned about whether either candidate knows why God allows people to suffer. Should any of us care about this? Lets remember, we are electing a President, not a pastor.

Is this really probing stuff that Americans definitely need to know? Before anyone gets on their high religious horse, just think for a moment. Think about your last job interview. Think back to the end when your interviewer said, “Do you have any questions for us?” Did you respond with something like “Do you believe that God intervenes in history and punishes nations?” I highly doubt it.

I don’t expect any presidential candidate to be a biblical scholar. I expect them to be well versed issues like healthcare, abortion, and foreign policy.

To be honest, I don’t care. I don’t care what Obama’s pastor has to say. I don’t care if Hillary Clinton reads the NIV or The Message bible. I don’t care if McCain on attends services once per month. When I select a leader for this country religion is not my main concern.

Before any of you get on you Christian high horse, I want you to consider one thing. What type of relationship does your boss have with God? You don’t select an employer based on religion, so why should the presidency be any different.

The thing is, you don’t know what any of these people are doing in their personal time. Many of us make judgements about someone’s relationship with God based on what the media tell us. To quote Chris Rock, “That ain’t right”!

Here’s a crazy idea. How about we just seek God before we vote. If we humbly seek God about who we should vote for, everything else will fall into place.

If we all judged people based on what their pastor says, the country would be really messed up!
