Now What?

The election is over. Just like that, America has chosen her next president. President elect Barack Obama will begin his service on January 20, 2009. According to the political pundits, the office of President now seats the most liberal Senator. The House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is a far left liberal. The Senate now hosts a democratic majority.

So what does that mean to the Evangelical Christian community? It means that our nation needs an immediate return to God without apology to the naysayers. It is a sad American when we must amend our constitution to define traditional marriage as the union of a man to a woman. It is a sad America when we must put on the ballot a vote to ban homosexual marriage. It is a sad America when we make an election about tax cuts and credits, the economy, income distribution or redistribution, etc. Every subsequent election must be about the things that speak to the heart of God: Morals and Values.

I encourage the Christian community to take more serious the next 4 years than we have taken the last many. We are not just a voice, we are the voice...not of the things of this world but the things of the Kingdom. We are responsible first to God and then man. Let us pray that God would stir the hearts of those in the Christian community to have the courage, conviction, and boldness to serve this nation.

To God be the Glory,

Pastor Shannon
