The Election
We wake up this morning with a new president elect. Like many Christians across this nation and certainly here at Real Life Family Center I have mixed emotions. I am sad to see our nation continue a trend of wandering so far away from the original design of our nation's founders and so far away from the heritage of faith that our nation was built upon. On the other hand I am hopeful. My hope and prayer is that this will mobilize Christ-followers everywhere to pray more passionately, serve more effectively and give more generously. The fact of the matter is that the government, no matter how led, was never designed to meet the most important needs of the human soul. Only God Himself can do that and THAT is the message of the church. As long as the church in any nation is vibrant, alive and passionately pursuing its mission in its context there is hope. Remember to pray for our new leaders at every level. Whether you voted for them or not, believe in them or not, the Bible urges us to pray for our leaders.

I would be interested to hear why you feel the current election resulted in our "wandering further away" from the intent of the founding fathers?
I beleive what he is talking about it primarily the the stand that is taken on abortion. There are other issues as well. Our founding fathers were God fearing people who founded this country on God. We have strayed far from that.
I hope that helps.
