Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God.

Her speech in June provides as much insight into her policy leanings as anything uncovered since she was asked to be John McCain's running mate.

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin's foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska's governor asked the audience to pray for another matter -- a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she said.

Palin's address, much of which was spent reflecting on the work of the church in which she grew up and was baptized, underscores the notion that her world view is deeply impacted by religion. In turn, her remarks raise important questions: mainly, what is Palin's faith and how exactly has it influenced her policies?

A review of recorded sermons by Ed Kalnins, the senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, offers a provocative and, for some, eyebrow-raising sketch of Palin's longtime spiritual home.

these people never change the bloody record - this woman, would her daughter have been such a tool of their fortunes if she had chosen abortion? would they be lauding it quite so loudly - this young woman is beinbg used by the jolly controllers as a pawn in their games............ I havent even seen a piccie of this daughter yet, is she for real?


If she had chosen an abortion, would her mother be quite so proud and would the party be standing behind her - what are these peoples motives for chosing Palin - lets not be so easily led - in fact, I wonder how political Palins motives were when she talked the kid out of having an abortion.........

We have heard from the mouth of terriosts and Irans leader.This is not a war,it is JIHAD.In case anyone doesnt know what thats word means? It means Holy War.What exactly would u have us to do?,sit onour habds and let them come over here,and cut off our heads,which is their age old way of killing?

Fanatics are fanatics, no matter who they pray to.

hi kid

JIHAD means holy war.........means war for thr right cause .....even muslims know how fanatics n terrorists have hijacked Islam by brainwashin ppl in the name of Jihad.

I would surely love for you to take this same argument and apply it to Obama's remarks and his writings... with an objective eye, that is.

I'm not an Obama fan either, but if you read scripture, this woman out of nowhere could be the "anti christ".

Well, at least you see what I was talking about.

I'm with Harry...

The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side

Just glad he's not on my side.

the main cos of this fanaticism .ppl think only they can think objectively.totally discardin the others point of view.......no heart for discussin.how can ppl stoop so low n be so narrow minded .

So we won't have to invole ourselves in threads here any longer.

Your opening sentence leads me to believe this is about th END of time.

Then i read a bit further,and it's about the developement of utilities.

No need to cancel any plans folks!

Business as usual.Carry on.

You really think so???? I will promise to watch her and consider this in the future... but I sure as hell don't see anything of the kind... And I am an extremely non-religious person, so I would have been equally offended no matter what my political leanings. I have no problem with her sharing a faith that most of America has - but I certainly would not approve of anyone who would govern blindly on their faith.

Roe V. Wade is a different animal, though. I do not consider that issue in this statement as it is very complex and deeply difficult for all of America for the same reasons.

I have a friend who believes God is a woman and of late I'm starting to come to the conclusion that the antichrist may be one too. Odd how she slipped in below the radar when none of us were looking. Me I'm praying for peace.

First, I want to say that our founding fathers also consulted God and encouraged us to consult God, when they wrote the Declaration of Independance. To pray to carry out God's Will is not an unusual thing.

I attended an Assembly of God church for 11 years. For the most part, those people really KNOW God, they Know HIS Voice and they live their lives Dependant on consulting with HIM on every issue, not on Rules and Regulations as many religions do. They are very Spiritual people who Love and Worship with All their hearts. They are devoted, dedicated and they have trials and struggles just like everyone else. The difference is they ask God for HIS decisions for their lives, instead of making them themselves.

This is a way of life for me also. If not for my dependance on the unseen Spirit, I would not be alive today, and I KNOW it!!!

Many try to argue the lie concerning Separation of Church and State but they have it all backwards. IT was written, to say that Government may not tell the church what to do!!! Not that those who seek God's guidance could not run government!!!

Origionally, in America, leaders were chosen for the very reason, that they KNEW God and would lead with HIS guidance.

The long and short of it is that I want a candidate who is prepared to fight for America based on it's founding principles.

Obama does not want to do that and is not, to me, one who loves his country.

Yeah Kid.
I think i may have seen a vision of her in some french toast.
Well it could have been her.

There is a great chance we go Republican again .
