Barack Obama was elected president of the United States on Tuesday, the culmination of a historic, barrier-breaking campaign whose promise of change generated a groundswell at the polls. In the process, Obama may have changed American politics for good — and, we hope, for the better.

At the moment when he gave his speech, I felt so proud to be an american. He is a man that moves me. I am happy that he was elected
ReplyDeletecool...I heard so many felt like that while others felt the opposite very iteresting.
ReplyDeleteNot Happy, Very disappointed with the outcome of the election. In all of history he is the first man to be voted into the Presidential office with such extreme liberal views. I am mostly disappointed at those who call themselves christian who were a part of voting him into office. I have my own views on it which i wrote about on my latest post. But I do have peace and i know that God still sits on the throne and not Obama like so many people may think.
ReplyDeletewow... and that would be the opposite....very interesting but thats pokitics you know...you vote for who you think is the best to replace them in office...dont really understantd the whole "christian choice thing" but it is quite obvious with 59% of popular vote an overwhelming amont of christians have voted for him...this election has been very interesting...
ReplyDeletethanks for the commen tamela
ReplyDeletewell actually, if u did u research, u would find out that mccain attended chuch for political purposes...and he is not any more "christian" than obama because both of them are against abortion but allow it, and both of them are against gay marriage but support civil unions. and if u ask me, there was even more christian values in obama casue he showed integrity at the debate when mccain kept cutting him off and mccain wanted to leave abortion and gay marriage to the states which is basically allowing it, which doesnt make a difference...so obama was well deserved to be president and it really showed in the electoral votes!
ReplyDeletevery interesting...thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteand also, what about the war and guncontrol. republicans support both of these things and frankly, i dont think these things are christian-like. we should be at eace not war, and guns cause alot of deaths in america
ReplyDeleteWe prayed about the Election and Obama was God's choice so for ya'll who disagree with Obama youre just going to have to agree and support him anyway.
ReplyDeleteBoth good and bad. As a white man in America, I was more than proud that we, as a nation, could overcome racial prejudice and elect a Black President (although I would be proud of electing a woman Vice President also). I look for change in our economy as well; I have always thought that one party should not be in power too long (I am neither Democrat nor Republican), I wouldn’t want them to become too engrained into our fabric as a nation. I think the Republican administration has served the “Haves” for too long and it is time for someone to consider the “Have Nots”. I also look to change in our foreign policy, I want our soldiers home and safe, and I thing Obama wants the same. I don’t want us to be the worlds “Police force”, but by the same token, I am afraid that if we don’t stand up for righteousness and democracy, no one will. But, as a Christian, I have many concerns about Obama’s stance on many moral issues: Abortion, Gay Marriage, Prayer in School; there are just so many issues that have been brought up about Obama’s beliefs on these that I, for one, am very concerned. I feel that the traditional Christian values that this country was founded upon are being chiseled away piece by piece, day by day, and it is time to get our country back on track. But all these issues are just that, individual issues: our President is not a dictator, his power is buffered by that of Congress and the Judicial System; and that is were my biggest concern is. I feel our Supreme Court has been far too liberal and has destroyed our country in many ways. They have given individual freedoms far too much weight at the expense of compromising the greater good of the nation as a whole. I am just concerned that President Obama will have the opportunity to appoint new Justices to the Supreme Court, and that his choices will further the liberal weighting of its decisions. It is just my opinion that, from a judicial standpoint, our country needs to swing back to a more conservative stance to get us back on track. So we will see what the future holds, like I said, good and bad, I may be completely wrong and off base (as I often am), but he is my President, and the Lord clearly says I am to respect his authority. So I will, but whether I like it is yet to be seen..

I believe we as Christians in America are at a crossroads with this election. On the one hand, there will be the renewed commitment to recruit more culture warriors to fight the fundamentalist battles of old. No doubt, their concerns are warranted. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate ever to be voted President of the United States. He has also advocated a pro-socialist redistribution of wealth. The judicial system is vulnerable to liberal activism where the issues of sanctity of life, marriage, family, and the freedom of worship will certainly be challenged in the next four years.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I can’t help but think that the Obama presidency will help Christians who happen to be American to open our eyes to our syncretistic views of American Christianity. While the fundamentalist impulse is to retreat into the ghetto, pull out the dispensationalism charts, and check the rapture ready index as a morning devotional, perhaps for the first time Christians will no longer seek to Christianize America but speak prophetically and live missionally in our growingly secular world. Our greatest need is not to fight the battle against the culture but to fight against the battle of unbelief. It is safe to live as functional atheists when we’ve got God in our constitution, on our coins, in the White House, but when the props are removed from us, how shall we then live?
We must learn to live as missionary citizens.
The context of American culture is drastically changing, no doubt. We do need culture warriors–indeed, all of us need to actively stand for the values and virtues derived from our biblical worldview. But I am convinced more than that, we need a Christianity with a gospel that is sufficient, a mission that is dominant, and a Savior who is triumphant. Now is not the time to wallow in the cry, Woe is America!” Now is the time to plead with God, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
