Gird Your Loins

It was funny to me that Biden said these words because they were actually in part of a Bible study I'm doing of 1Peter.

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;
15 but as He who called you in holy, you also be holy in all you conduct,
16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

Now, there are many, many places where you can read what has been said about Biden's speech: this one from Glenn Beck today is quite good and this one from ABC News has the quotes word for word.

As for what the man was saying... I think it's just another reason to not vote for Obama. All this time they have been telling us that we need to vote for him because the "world likes him". Now Biden tells us that there are "four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities.

So, Joe... Can I call you Joe? Are you saying that they won't pull that with McCain because they know there will be no talking it through and that retribution will follow???

But what I want to get to is the Bible verse itself... Namely this part: rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

While Obama spreads his message of hope that people are clinging to because, well, I honestly don't know why they are clinging to that word so much, but they are...

Just remember this: Barack Obama is not the Messiah.
