to anonymous 12:29 you are right God gave us a choice and the people chose President Elect Barack Obama. You see Rosa Park sat so Martin Luther King could walk and Martin Luther King walked so that Barack Obama could run and he WON and I am soo happy. Anonymous 12:29 you seem bitter, angry, and unloving every thing that Jesus is not. You see Jesus was very Liberal he was a socialist you see he was about helping the people not turning his back on them. You see God is a loving God, He is a caring God. Those that are struggling with their lifestyle, those that are having abortions, God love them He hate the sin, but we as christians are suppose to pray for them and minister to them not act selfrighteous like we've been good all our life. No you pray for them, and help them get back on the right track because many of them don't know the Lord so they do what they want to do, so my brother stop criticizing and have a Christlike mind and began to treat your brother and sister with respect even if they don't respect you,you respect them because you are a christian.

Ms. Patricia I have no problem with them asking for anybody record the point i was trying to make is he gave everything he needed to give and still you and others have a problem with what he gave. So what you all need to do begin to pray for our President because he have a long road ahead of him, and I know God is going to be with him through all of this. Me and all of the prayer warriors all over are praying for our President Barack Obama and his family that God would encamp His angels around President Barack Obama and his family and let no hurt harm or danger come to them and may our Lord and Savior lift up a standard against any evil person that try to stop the work of God. May God be with each and every person thats on the Lord side Amen

2008-11-25T11:58:00.000-08:00

I have an idea for Mr. Strang and all of the other Christians who have let hate take over their spirit because of an election.
Spend the next four years on the mission field. This will accomplish two things:

First, it will get you out of the counry and away from the President that you seem to loathe and who you cannot bring yourself to stop spreading rumors about and obviously refuse to pray for according to God's command.

Second, you will be able to feed and clothe the poor while spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ (if you can subdue the spirit that is currently within you). As someone who has been on the mission field and wllingly lived in austere conditions, I can tell you that after those four years, you will not be the same. You will come away with a deeper understanding of who God is and the way you are acting now will seem so ridiculous and wordly.

2008-11-24T21:23:00.000-08:00

I will never ever never subscribe to this magazine again. Strang, you are ridiculous. What next? What next will you and your haters come up with next? Get over it!! Your GOP lost. If you had spent much of your time working on "How to bring respect to the Republincan party" maybe they might have won. Instead, things never change you continue to spew hatered and you the worst thing of all you do in the name of Christianity!! Shame on you, you hate mongers. If you truly pray and seek God you would not be show so much hate. I'm done with you and your magazine. I will get the word out to many so they no longer support this magazin, more importantly, I will take you and your actions to the throne.

2008-11-24T14:27:00.000-08:00

Charisma has become a joke and it is attracting fringe elements to this blog who care nothing about Christianity. In fact in their defense of their radical views toward an elected leader they either leave God out or try to manipulate His word to fit their desires.
The church must repent for its desire to be all about politics and not about the lord. Why are you afraid? God has not given us the spitit of fear. Why are you so worried about President-Elect Obama? The word tells us to be anxious for nothing.
Stevem Strange, you created and continue to perpetuate this monster. Seek an altar of prayer so you can get back to God and his desires not our political obsessions,

2008-11-24T06:11:00.000-08:00

Mr. Strang
As a brother in the Lord think very carefully of the use to which you put this medium which God has given you. Let judgement begin at the house of God .Ourjob is to lift up Jesus and if there is persistence in denigrating the President-Elect be very sure that the world we need to win for the Lord will not see Him but the bitterness and nastiness emerging from the followers of Christ . Mr. Strang as a responsible Christian leader call a halt in the name of Jesus to the hate-mongering pray for the President Elect and let God have his way. The behaviour of Christians is attaching a very partisan label to their behaviour and they are not building up the body of Christ . Let him who has ears hear what the word says

2008-11-22T19:55:00.000-08:00

A legal note: The Obama campaign and the state of Hawaii posted the necessary and requisite legal documentation of his birth. It has already been done. The problem is there is nothing that would satisfy those who do not want him to be president. Any subsequent documentation would be questioned; if it looked authentic it would be deemed forged. Second, as McCain admitted at the last debate his position and Obama's on gay marriage is exactly the same. We are commanded to tell the truth, even if we don't like it.

2008-11-22T19:04:00.000-08:00

Wow! It is a couple of days later and I have come back to read the comments again. Scary stuff! How convenient it seemed for some of you to grab hold of the idea that it is a racial bias to expect legal documentation from the man who would hold our highest office. How hypocritical to hear some of you accuse Steve of hatred while your own venom and insults are dripping right off my computer screen from your written words. My thanks to all of you who were able to keep the discussion logical. Some of you brought out some very good points to consider on both sides.

Halfway through the comments, my stomach was sick. But then, toward the end, I began to see some humor in it. Here was the picture being painted of Steve using some of your very own words: He brings reproach to the kingdom. He is hateful, bitter, mean, wicked, biased, racist. He has lost his way and spreads nasty rumors. He loves money, yet looks like a hobo, acts like Chicken Little, yet only wrote the article to make himself look good. Thanks for the laugh! It was either that, or cry from embarrassment over some of the people representing the church.

But now I’m asking myself, what is at the core of this over-reaction by some to any logical discussion on Obama? I’m pretty much immune by now to hateful rhetoric. But hatred mixed with pomposity will never be tolerated by my system. How very pompous to tear down a brother on the Internet and then cast yourself as the pious one who will continue to pray for him. Sheeesh--what an ugly and embarrassing church we so often are!

2008-11-22T18:05:00.000-08:00

"we now have less than 30 days of freedom left. How will you spend it?"

It always amazes me that fundamentalists don't notice that they are using fear instead of hope as a tool. It would be interesting to create a Perl script that would analyze a text for fearfulness or hopefulness. Strang, would you scan your own magazines? Would you pay attention?

2008-11-22T00:29:00.000-08:00

I feel sorry for those who prayed about electing Barack Obama. God gave us a choice this election, however, some turned their hearts to stone thinking it was God's will to put an ungodly, abortion loving, gay marriage advocate in the White House. Why? Because it was historic. Well, so was the rise of Hitler.

All I can say about those cancelling their subscriptions is read about Noah and the Ark. Many made fun of him while he built it, and only 8 people and the animals were saved when the floods came.

There isn't any hope for those who voted not only for the most liberal man to ever take office, but, who also gave us more liberals in our Congress. Was this God's will? If some of you who call yourselves Christians, truly know the Lord, you wouldn't have voted the way you did. Sure, you can blame President Bush all you want. He's made his share of mistakes, but, I ask you this? Are you safer today than you were prior to 9/11? I think you are. Do you still have freedom of speech? I think you do.

All I can say, is Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Nor what they have done for putting this man in office.

If he's truly a citizen then this shouldn't even be an issue. He should've been forthcoming from the onset when some were requesting is birth certificate. John McCain had no problem proving his citizenship, so what's the problem with barack obama? Why is he fighting this so hard if he has nothing to hide?

Just as he did the entire time of the campaign, he was shielded by those who were blinded and the main street media who chose to ignore the truth and report it to Americans.

God help this great nation. I fear for us and our freedoms. Obama's election has emoboldened the far left radicals from every walk of life and it will only wax worse.

I'm appalled at the number of Christians and Catholics who voted for Obama, when he stood against everything they hold, or held, sacred in this life.

I also suspect that many of you were warned, but, chose to disregard the truth when the Lord tried to open your eyes. Lord, have mercy on this once great nation!

2008-11-21T18:00:00.000-08:00

To the anonymous poster at 2:15 p.m. today and to those who agree with them:
I, personally, would have the same questions about a white person, an American Indian or any other race, male or female if there was any question about their citizenship in America, their ability to lead this country, their agenda for this country, their personal moral values and their political moral values.

Everyone who voted for Obama have no idea what you have done to this country. He does not have any political experience to lead this country in the right direction.

Now, if you truly believed that this was God's will, you better think again.

In the O.T. when the Israelites wanted a king to rule over them, God allowed them to have a king. They got exactly what they, the people wanted. Throughtout history, the people have wanted what was not necessarily good for them.
God will not go back on His Word and take our freedom of choice away from us.
If it was God's will or choice to put the man that He wanted into the office, then there would be no need to have a voting system.

In the O.T. and the N.T. there have always been rulers that were evil or good. Herod made sure that all the babies up to 2 years of age were murdered because he was afraid there would be a king that would take his place. That king would have been Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

King Nebuchadnezzar was an evil king. Hitler was an evil ruler.
Did God put these men in their positions of power? Absolutely not!!

I certainly hope this answers those of you who have a wrong idea and concept of Who God is. Your understanding of the Bible is not right on.

THERE IS NO COMPROMISING GOD'S WORD AND GOD'S INSTRUCTION.
Same sex marriage endorsement, abortion, liberal thinking: all of these things will be our downfall because YOU voted for it!

2008-11-21T14:15:00.000-08:00

First and foremost Patricia i voted for Barack Obama because he is smart he care about the need of people and he's compassionate.Obama has more christian values in him than some of you have in your little pinky. And you want to question where he was born if he was a white man you wouldn't be questioning that you know how I know, because you guys was so googly eye over Sarah Palin who we know is a liar who exploit her children for her own gain who sent her son to the service because she couldn't control him who's daughter was pregnant and she know saying the baby is hers that baby look just like her daughters boyfriend so all of you give me a break and stop lying to yourself and to people who can see right through you and others who profess Christ but have a stony heart. You see I believe God is going to make Barack so successful as President some of you will have to chock on your slander words you said about him. Thats why I believe God chose Barack for such a time as this so that some of you christians would be exposed for the racist that you are so that you can see yourself. So take a mirror and look at yourself and ask yourself am I the person that God has called me to be or am I hiding iniquity in my heart God wants us to see us so that He can change us. Because how can you love God who you have never seen and hate your sisters and brothers who you do see but are too hateful to even speak or say something nice about. Enough is Enough

2008-11-21T14:03:00.000-08:00

Mr. Strang

Shame on you. You have sunk to the depth of all the conspiracy theorists. With Sen. McCain's loss, you are now playing the "Obama is not an American" card. Like a hypocrite, you talk out of both sides of your mouth. You request that Christians pray for President-elect(I know that term turns your stomach) Obama, while suggesting through your post he does not meet the requirements for the office of the president. Read the posts relate to this. The only this false article(did you fact check it before posting it) brings is a spirit of strife among the (and I will use your term) "so called Christians"

Mr. Strang, "out of the heart the mouth speaks" so...

2008-11-21T06:33:00.000-08:00

Mr. Strang, "out of the heart the mouth speaks" so thanks for having your say.

I now join those who are standing against your recent post about Obama and where he was born.

Sorry your man Mccain didn't win--was that God's will? Did Satan "win"? I have no idea where your your theology lies but the idea that there is a "rapture" coming for the church is so tiresome and wrong. Tell that to our brethen who are dying and being tortured for their faith.

And to promote John Hagree's book or books--already discredited--is another strike against you. This "minister" was made a laughing stock when he tried to inject himself into the election process.

The days of hateful religious fundamentalism are OVER and Christian who preach God's love, mercy and grace for those who turn to Him have all moved of from your Karl Rove-embraced days. Darkless and light have NOTHING in common.

Even Focus on the Family is crumbling--less hate, thank God.

I think if you would re-read your post, you'd see a lack of Christian character.

2008-11-20T22:45:00.000-08:00

Remember, Charisma is in the money making business. They have to write sensational articles to encourage website traffic, which brings more advertisements, and thus more money. They are not about the truth. So don't get angry over a tabloid magazine. You keep coming for more don't you? You need to deal with your addiction for tabloid news. Charisma just supplies the joint. Let us get back to our bibles and prayer. Dry up the demand, and the supply will go away.

2008-11-20T18:33:00.000-08:00

2008-11-20T18:06:00.000-08:00

All of you "Christians" who are so angry at Mr. Strang and cancel your subscriptions only prove the point people are making. The hate that exists from the left. The hatred of conservative Christians. The hatred for the Word of God. You don't care about what is right, all you care about is that the great Obama is president. Just like the lady said that was interviewed after an Obama speech..."I don't have to worry about paying my mortage anymore or putting gas in my car. I know he will take care of me." How sad and how ridiculous. These people have turned their backs on the Lord and are looking to man for answers. The world has proven it is ripe for the anti-christ to come. Can the Rapture be far away?

Many Christians both Black and White turned their ...

2008-11-20T17:56:00.000-08:00

Many Christians both Black and White turned their backs on christian values and laws to vote for this man. Some did it simply because he was black. Some simply because he was a Democrat. When a Christian supports a man that goes against every belief we have such as abortion and gay marriage they have joined themselves to sin. "Who is on the Lord's side"? How can a person be a christian and vote for someone who supports everything the Bible tells us is wrong?

Okay, now I am ready to put in my two cents worth....

2008-11-20T16:23:00.000-08:00

Okay, now I am ready to put in my two cents worth. I have read all of the previous comments and I must say that I am really disgusted with some of you.

First of all, those of you who are really coming down on Mr. Strang, I must remind you that we do have a constitutional right to freedom of speech. So, Mr. Strang has spoken his piece; and so have you.

If you want to cancel your subscription, that is your right to do so. But, you cannot speak for the rest of us who do want to be an informed person about what is going on in our country.

I have also seen all of the info on the internet about the "missing birth cerificate" that could document Obama's right to run for the president. I have hundreds of questions about that and the main one is this:
What is Obama hiding that he does not want revealed?
Keep in mind that this young man had millions of dollars donated to him for his campaign run versus the much less amount that McCain had for his campaign.

Maybe we should we be asking just where did all that money come from?
I have read and heard rumors that Obama received hundreds of thousands of dollars from different mob groups. True or False? Why is no one questioning that?

Mr. Strang is bringing out some good points about this situation. I do believe that if McCain had won, there would still be some issues that would have to be answered.
If any of you really knew Pastor John Hagee, you would know that he and many other pastors who are not afraid to boldly stand up and speak out, then you would know that he would be asking for a swift accounting from our governmental bodies to investigate this situation.

Think back to when Senator Grassley demanded an accounting of financial statements from six major ministries. Some complied immediately, without hesitation, some took more time and tried to delay the information and there has been a couple who has deliberately withheld the information that the Senate Finance Committee requested.
My question to those two were:
What are you hiding? I no longer watch either of those two ministries on television. Would I sow money into those two? Absolutely not!

I voted for John McCain, not because he is white, but because I want to make sure that we do not kill anymore babies during partial birth abortions. I want a president who will not change laws that says it is okay for there to be same sex marriages. I want a president who will be a moral person and who will set a good example for this country.
I want a president who will not think it is okay for our teachers to teach our children and our grandchildren that same sex relationships is okay, even for kids.

Well, what do you want?
It seems to me that most of you just want something to bicker about.
Don't blame Mr. Strang for doing his research and voicing his opinion about this research.

We all need to be glad that we are living in a counry where we have the right to have a check and balance system in place.
In many other countries, the people do not get to have a voice in who or what or their country is run. Think about that!!

I see that some people on here have done their research and some have not.
Some of you are concerned, some of you are curious, some of you just plain want something to gripe about; but on Dec. 15 when the Electoral College convenes and they make the final decision as to who will be president, then maybe you will have gotten what you wished for.
But, remember, we all will be stuck with that decision for the next 4 years.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and may God bless America and all of you.

Dear Mr. Strange I have ask my Pastor to go on you...

2008-11-20T14:12:00.000-08:00

Dear Mr. Strange I have ask my Pastor to go on your website to see how wicked and bias you are, and what he saw startled him because he had your magazines in the book store, thank God he has pulled everyone of your magazines off the shelf. You see Mr Strange you promote hate and bigotry and may you get on your knees to God and ask for forgiveness because you and others who profess Christ are nothing but hateful people who need Jesus. I have told all my friends to stop buying your magazine. I hope Pastor Hagee is not promoting you or Rod Parsley that would really hurt me because I like them not that I would turn against them but I would really wonder where they stand in the body of Christ. because if they can support someone like you than im afraid where the church is going. They need to be counceling you and those that have a problem with people of color. But if they are promoting your views than they really can't councel you that would be like the devil counceling another devil. So I pray that you would turn back to God before its too late. I don't want you to get to the pearly gate and say Lord Lord I did this and that and He say depart from me you worker of iniquity because right now thats where you are headed so get right with God change your heart.

Steve, every time we try to link current events to...

2008-11-20T13:32:00.000-08:00

Steve, every time we try to link current events to the End Times we end up looking like the hobo toting a billboard down the street, saying THE END IS UPON US!!! We are headed in the direction of The End, no doubt about it, and we are closer now than ever before; but to jump from our present economic meltdown to Armageddon is really a stretch for fair minded Believers. It sounds like The Sky Is Falling!!! Every time some group did this in history, it ended up with people sitting on hilltops waiting for Jesus to split the sky. To say this is a "precursor" to Armageddon, without noting that great battle may be in the distant future, gets a lot of good Christians in an unnecessary uproar. It throws fear into people. I'm a bit surprised at you guys. Have you considered that our financial meltdown is nothing more than God's law of sowing and reaping at work? And that if the USA returns to sound financial practices we can come out of this? That's not as exciting as Armageddon, I admit, but it makes a lot more sense. We have been sowing the seeds of this present turmoil for many moons. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Just for the record: I wish Jesus would return tonight.

This is it. I am through with Charisma. I was real...

2008-11-20T10:50:00.000-08:00

This is it. I am through with Charisma. I was really hopeful that after this political madness, there would be some sort of change but its getting worse.

I enjoyed the magazine or many year and would often share them with my friends or tell them about what I learned from reading Charisma. Now I am ashamed to say I ever supportd Charisma.

I wil not pay for a subscription that subtley promotes hate and nasty rumors. That is not of God.

This site is just like the secular sites even worse because there is so much tearing down of our brother and sisters and those in leadership.

However, far be it from me to sin against the Lord and cease to pray for you. I believe that with prayer your hearts can be changed.
