Charlotte
hospitality - by Rev. Austin Miles CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (9/11/12)
When
the DNC came to Charlotte , area churches, 100 of them, offered hospitality, not
knowing how much the Dems hate God and would actually boo God at the convention.
They had no idea how that hatred would be directed at them and their churches.
The
Sunday before the DNC, over 9000 people had come together to pray for the
convention. Then, wanting to extend hospitality to the visitors to their city,
56 of the churches set out to "Adopt-a-Delegation." They put together gift
baskets featuring Carolina Pralines and a letter welcoming them to the city and
offering assistance in transportation, childcare or spiritual matters.
According
to writer, Todd Starnes, The DNC banned the churches from distributing the gift
baskets to delegates because, DNC said, the congregations hold values that are
contrary to the party platform. Read that carefully. David Benham, one of the
organizers of the outreach said, "We were just trying to display Southern
hospitality."
DNC
officials, however, conveyed to city leaders that the Christians would not be
allowed to present their gift baskets. Even the Charlotte Mayor's office jumped
in to tell the churches not to participate, saying that their views on women's
rights are contrary to the platform. That's right….the same platform that booed
God later. Benham then asked if they could send welcome letters to the
delegates. Again, the DNC refused, because, they said, "The churches hold
pro-life values." The baskets did not contain a single political or pro-life
message. They just wanted to give them regional candles and a welcome letter.
The DNC refused to return numerous phone calls seeking comment.
But
it gets worse. When a gathering of 200 Muslims showed up to pray for the
convention, the Dems welcomed them with open arms and the liberal media gave
extensive national coverage. It is ironic that this day, in the shadow of that
Islamic prayer event, we commemorate the greatest tragedy in American History,
when Muslims attacked America on September 11, 2001, brutally killing
thousands.of innocent people. Muslims who publicly state their hatred of our
country with fierce determination to kill us all and put America under Sharia
Law, are welcomed by the Democratic Party while Christians are pushed out of
sight like criminals because they respect life and hold family values. These are
the same democrats who want you to vote them into office to direct the United
States of America and every life from beginning to end.
