My take on the Election, our new president, our nation, etc…

Last night we watched history take place. People were on the TV screen screaming with disapproval, crying with tears of joy, and staring in disbelief. Tons of emotion going on.

Here is how I feel. Our basic problems are still the same. This is not an Obama slam (I am praying for the guy a lot) but you cannot change a nation without changing the people’s hearts that make up that nation. Presidents, laws, bailouts, and politics can’t change hearts. Only God can.

And, God’s only plan has always been and will always be His Church. I love the Church! Its OUR mission to change hearts. Its the mission God has given every Christian on Earth. Not all choose to accept it; not all do much about it. Still, it stands as the main thing that we are called to do.

And it will be a cold day in Hell when I stop doing whatever it takes to share the love of Jesus Christ with those around me who don’t know him.

THAT is the ONLY way to change our nation (and this world), regardless of who you voted for. God wasn’t sitting in his lazy boy last night worrying about who was going to win like you were. It wasn’t a surprise to Him and He is still God. Ever read the first bit of Romans 13?

I saw a guy screaming “Obama is our savior” on TV last night. FAIL! If you believe that a president can fix all of our problems, you are wrong. Our problem is sin, and the only solution is Jesus. He’s not red or blue. He’s not black or white. He’s Jesus Christ, the King of Kings!

To change, we have to learn to work together, to love, and to serve.

What do you think?

Addition: I could have been mucho harsher like my homie, Clayton Bell.
