1.
Jesus is still Lord. All this
happened because the Triune God thought it was best for his glory and for the good of His people. If we don’t
believe this we should close our Bibles, shut down our churches, and go home.
2.
Jesus is still Lord. That means we
have a job to do as Christians. We are supposed to disciple the nations
(Matthew 28:18-20). Jesus is Lord does not mean we sit by and say, “Whatever
will be, will be.” More on this later.
3.
Christians are entering a situation
where the teachings of Scripture will treated with increasing hatred by both
parties. Democrats already hate the Bible. At least some Republicans are blaming Governor Romney’s loss on the abortion issue and gay marriage. Christians will be increasingly marginalized, hated, cast out of
positions of power, and blamed for what goes wrong. I am reminded of Carl
Trueman’s quote that those who hold to Christian sexual ethics will eventually
be looked at as white supremacists. Are we ready for that? If the last couple
of decades are any indication the answer is no.

This is a fight to the death. The pro-sodomite,
pro-abortion, pro-sin crowd will not go quietly into the night. We are not
sitting on our back porch drinking lemonade with men we can agree to disagree
with. We are on the front lines of a battle.
They will slit our throats, watch us die, and dance on our graves. I am
not encouraging Christians to be mean and cruel. I am just reminding them that this is a
battle, not a tea party.

President Obama’s win shows the
moral corruption of our country. We are a country that wants a blood thirsty,
sodomite loving president, who will steal other people’s money and give it to
us. We want a president with no moral compass.
Isaiah 1:5-6 comes to mind.
6.
Slavery has not ended. It has just
become voluntary. We are a country that wants to be enslaved.
7.
Popularity and style rule over
substance. We live in a land of celebrities and we want our President to be one
as well. President Obama built his campaign by appealing to men like George
Clooney and Jay-Z. His policies matter less than his personality. We like him and he is cool so we vote for him.
8.
Truth has been sacrificed on the
altar of self-preservation, personal advancement, and personal pleasure. The
President does not care about what is true. Apparently neither do a majority of the American people.
9.
All empires die. America is no
exception. Mel Gibson’s gory movie Apocalypto
opens with this quote, “"A great civilization is not conquered from without
until it has destroyed itself from within.” America is destroying itself. That is all she
can do if she leaves God. To leave God is to choose cursing, destruction, and
death. It may be 4 years or 40 years,
but if America continues down this path there is only one possible outcome. You
reap what you sow and God will not be mocked.
10. The two greatest influences in
this country are popular culture (movies, T.V., radio) and public education
(K-12 and at the college level). These
are the institutions that shape and form our culture. All of these are, for the
most part, dominated by those who hate God. Do we really think that millions
of men, women, and children can watch Modern Family , listen
to Justin Bieber, and get sex education at public school and still make godly
decisions? Here is where Republicans and many conservative Christians are fools.
Republicans think they can win by focusing on the halls of congress and on the ballot
box. Conservative Christians often think the same thing. But the people’s
hearts are being won through movies, songs, and public education. When they get
to the ballot box they vote their heart. On Tuesday we saw the heart of this
country.

I have found this post to be so incredibly accurate from beginning to end. I have even taken notes, Peter and I look forward to the following posts on how do we now live as Christians in a crumbling world. I say THANK YOU my friend. I didn't find it pessimistic in any way. The truth is the truth, at least in my world view. I praise you and Julie for so many things and I especially praise you for your commitment to the education of your precious children. They will and currently do make godly decisions and they have an enthusiasm for life that I don't see in many of the children in my neighborhood.
I won't yammer on here, but again I say thank you. This is exactly what is needed and is so pertinent for today, November 8, 2012.
Standing with you in the Truth,
Kathy
"Large margin"? 51% to 49% popular vote is not a large margin. Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado were extremely close and, if they had gone the other way, moderate President Romney would be assuming office in January. Frankenstorm may have been the deciding factor. Beyond peraventure that administration would have been more in line with Biblical values and would have been less hostile to Biblical principles. Awaiting benevolent monarchy.
