A New Era

No matter how we voted or what we think, we have a new President. Having observed his record, his writings and his campaign rhetoric, he is admittedly the most liberal, leftist President this country has ever elected.

The Scripture tell us to pray for those in authority over us, to hold up our leaders in prayer. I encourage you to do just that. Pray for our President. Pray diligently and fervently...daily. He needs our prayers more than ever before.

I pray that he and his family be protected and safe. I pray that somehow wise, godly, conservative men and women of character will come alongside this President and give him needed counsel as he makes decisions for our nation and the world. I would even pray for a Biblical Book of Acts Damascus "Saul to Paul" experience for our President.

He has stated his intentions to lead this nation to the left and into socialism. In that sense, I hope he fails miserably. Though he has said he is a Christian, the evidence is that he is a religious leftist, which is a moral-relativism-based Christian faith of the far left. If interested, you can read more in Matt Barber's column, "The Gods of Liberalism."

As was said today, we are at the hinge of history. Truly, it is a new era for our nation. What this portends for our nation can be positively impacted by those Christians across our land who will continually, consistently and humbly pray for our President and our leaders. I encourage you to join me as we lift them before God, our Heavenly Father, Who inspired and directed our founding fathers to create this great nation of ours.

We are not done. It is not over. I refuse to bow to the nay-sayers and religious (or even non-religious) pessimists among us. I serve a great God, who has turned the course of history before, and He is still in control. He still loves us and cares for us and will walk with us through whatever we face in the next four to eight years.

As we often say at the beginning of our services, "God is great, all the time...and the best is yet to come." I happen to believe that. It is a new era, and one in which God is at work. Let's see what He will do.
