Well, this should make things very interesting, very fast. We should expect to see some change... yes friends, change like we never saw it before. But I have a feeling we're going to miss the America that was which has been exchanged for an American in which such a small portion of the liberal population believes. I certainly will confess that I am not desiring of such changes that have been declared as "good" from our soon-to-be President and I wonder how many others, beyond the Christians I have spoken to recently, will be added to that same category. It is quite disappointing that so many claiming "Christians" could ever vote for things that are so far from the Truth. It'll be very interesting over the next four years to find out just what slice of something has been elected. But I'm not thinking it's the slice of heaven that the media portrays. (Then again why should we expect a media who has continually lied in the past to be telling the truth now?)
Guess Christ-followers are going to learn a big lesson in respecting authority while politely and devoutly disagreeing with each decision. Wonder where that'll put true Christians in this country?
On the bright side... Christianity has always grown in oppression. So when we all have prayed for growth of the Christian church and the true believers of the Lord, God's answer was through an increasingly struggling country. So be it... all for the Glory of God.

Governments rise and fall, and ours continually changes hands. Thats the beauty of democracy. Yet over the years no matter who has been elected, the church has grown and flourished. No matter what the next president does, or doesn't do, the church will remain and it will continue to speak the truth and help the poor and love people.
I agree that the church has thus far survived the change of governments. But it is also seen throughout history that there are some governments in which the church has experienced more growth than under other governments. Thereofre, while it is too early to predict the church's growth under Obama, it still sadens my heart to think fo the restrictions and "anti-Christian" principals that have already been introduced by the upcoming-president as having a great growth-effect on the Body of Christ. But again, it is too early to tell the exact effects that this government change will have on the Church. But I do appreciate your optimism in the Church's ability to remain. I just wonder to what extent of the Church will thrive and to what extent true Christianity will be narrowed to a smaller devotion set.
