THE ECONOMY IN CRISIS
For all the headlines below, we lift up this prayer today:
· Please continue to pray over this economic situation. Only the Lord can provide the wisdom needed to redeem the nation. Use your prayer language if you're not sure how to pray.
· "The blessing of the Lord: it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it." (Proverbs 10:22)
1. OPEC Cuts Oil Production in Move to Boost Prices - Fox News
The international oil cartel agreed Friday to cut daily production by 1.5 million barrels in a move to drive up prices on the international market - and, at the gas pump. But, crude oil futures went in the other direction, falling 5 percent Friday in London trading on speculation that demand will continue to fall.
2. Oil Plummets Below $65 Despite OPEC Production Cut - Fox News
Oil prices continued their steep losses despite an announcement by the OPEC cartel that the producers will cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day next month. Friday, crude oil closed at its lowest level since May 31, 2007, settling at $64.14 a barrel, down 5.4 % or $3.69.
3. Nervous Investors Awaiting Two Big Events Next Week - CNBC
Next week is expected to mark the beginning of the US economy's entry into a recession and the end of the Federal Reserve's conventional monetary policy to remedy the situation. On Wednesday, the Fed's FOMC is widely expected to cut the key federal funds rate another half point, to one percent, in what what many assume will be the end of its aggressive easing campaign. Then on Thursday, GDP data for the third quarter is expected to show the US economy contracted for the first time in seven years, ending months of speculation that the economy had managed to skirt recession, despite a one-of-kind credit crunch.
4. What's Behind the Selloff: Panic Is Turning to Despair - CNBC
After being in panic mode the past few weeks, investors are now wallowing in despair.Stock markets tumbled around the world Friday as investors moved to liquidate risky positions. Mounting evidence of a global recession, born of the worst financial crisis in 80 years, kept most markets volatile. US stock indexes fell over 3 percent, though not as much as feared earlier in the day. European stocks tumbled 6.5 percent and Japan's Nikkei plunged 9.6 percent.
5. UK Economy Officially On the Brink of Recession - Fox News
Britain's economy shrank between July and September, official figures showed Friday - confirming that the country is on the brink of recession and sending the pound into a dive against the U.S. dollar
The Global Campaign
This year's presidential election is truly historic and has had its share of "firsts." We have the first African American candidate to win a major party's nomination. We have the first female vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket. And we have the first truly global campaign for the presidency of the United States. During Barack Obama's summer world tour, he was greeted like a rock star in London and Paris. And during his stop-over in Berlin, Obama declared, "Citizens of the world -- this is our moment." Whatever that means. And not only is Obama campaigning around the world, but he's also raising money around the world. For example, the Obama campaign has had to return tens of thousands of dollars from supporters in Gaza. It's been noticed that a lot of contributions to Obama are for odd figures, like $104.59 and so on. Some speculate those figures are the result of currency exchanges.
Now the campaign tactics have gone global as well. There was a report in yesterday's Billings Gazette that Republican officeholders in Montana have been targeted by negative automated phone calls. That's not news. But in what appears to be a campaign first, the calls reportedly originated from Romania! Not only are non-citizens participating in this year's campaign, they may be voting too. Thanks to ACORN, who knows how many illegal aliens were registered to vote this year. In its desperation to win, the Left is making a mockery out of our cherished right to vote -- a right won and protected by the blood of patriots.
Obama believes he has a "righteous wind at his back." I suspect what he's feeling is the righteous indignation of Middle America rising up. Folks are fed up with ACORN, fed up with "Blame America First" radicals like William Ayers and CodePink, fed up with the elite media and fed up with liberal judges redefining marriage. They are fed up with defeatist Democrats like Harry Reid, who said America had lost, and John Murtha, who insulted our brave troops and his own constituents. They are fed up with the Democrat oil embargo, fed up with out of control spending and fed up with socialist "spread the wealth" tax schemes. My friends, this is your country too. Fight for it! Get out there and vote. Vote in record numbers, and give a landslide victory to the candidates that stand in TRUTH. (Source: Gary Bauer; End-of-Day; 10/21/08 - excerpt)

Faith and the Upcoming Elections
Last Friday, Archbishop Charles Chaput spoke about the disservice done by Christian voters who are abandoning the abortion issue. Increasing numbers of churchgoers seem to be adjusting their faith to fit their politics instead of evaluating the candidates through the eyes of their faith. Speaking as a private citizen, Chaput talked about the crisis of conscience in this election. The Archbishop's concern about Christian voters in general and Catholic voters in particular, mirrors concerns by Bible-believing evangelicals that both candidates and liberal activists have been brazen in their efforts to target evangelicals, deliberately sowing confusion, insisting that issues like global warming, government care for the poor, worldwide AIDS, etc., trump the issues of abortion and same-sex marriage. Princeton Professor Robby George, a member of FRC's Board of Directors, has written a definitive article on the issue of abortion and the 2008 election. (Read more)
