It’s Sunday, and perhaps an appropriate time to check out the latest from the Hawaii Christian Coalition.

I’m not sure which aspect is most interesting/disturbing. There’s the description of the Hanneman campaign’s attempt to persuade Christians to cross over and vote for him in the primary, and pushback from the GOP

It has come to my attention that Christians are being courted by Ken Wong of the Mufi Hannemann Campaign for Governor into thinking that Christians should vote in September 18th’s Primary Election on the Democrat ballot for Mufi Hannemann to retard the chances of a Neil Abercrombie win rather than supporting Duke Aiona through both the primary and general elections. I have been anguishing over those who believe that there is PURITY OF INTENT behind this strategy since hearing about it 3-4 weeks ago from a close pastor friend. I have delved in the Word and consulted many of my Christian mentors and counselors. I cannot find righteousness in this approach and certainly it is coming from a campaign that has conducted itself unethically, immorally, and far below reproach as we have seen with its recent comparison mail piece.

.

There’s the clear description that Aiona’s campaign is defined primarily in terms of self-defined Christians against the rest of us, seen as “the unrighteous enemy.”

We need to fearlessly, like David did Goliath, run towards the unrighteous enemy. Duke Aiona’s Campaign for Governor is the Body of Christ’s opportunity to operate in the AUTHORITY and to be proactive.

Then there’s the realization that this long missive with its bible quotes, talk of the “Kingdom”, and accusations that union political endorsements constitution an “unholy OATH”, comes from Republican State Chair, Jonah Kaauwai and is simply being redistributed by the Christian Coalition.

With more than 400,000 Christians in the State of Hawaii, WE are responsible no matter what the outcome of Duke’s race because we have been given the POWER and the AUTHORITY in the NAME OF JESUS!!!!

God bless you all! If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me on my personal cellular, 620-5702.

Separation of Church and State?

That’s obviously not what these folks believe.
