Since 1789 America has been blessed with a peaceful transition of power. Surely a blessing from God in His providence. Tomorrow one President will leave voluntarily and another will step in with change on his mind. Not only will one President leave but there will be an exchange of political parties without a national disruption. Dr. Mohler today on his radio show talked about the transition of power in the Ottoman Empire and the chaos and political disruption that followed such change in political power. Although many of us probably did not vote for President Obama tomorrow should be something we give thanks to God for. "I thought that America just talked about this kind of Democracy," said a citizen of another country surprised at the election of an African American. Although I still urge everyone to pray that God will change President Obama's heart regarding the sanctity of human life tomorrow let us thank God for a Democratic society in which someone whose race 100 years ago had no rights whatsoever and is now able to hold such a high office in our country. This may be the start of persecution in America for us as Christians but I hold to hope in my current memory verse.
Romans 8:35-37
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or PERSECUTION or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long:
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquers through him who loved us.

Why should it be the start of persecution for us Christians?
Two words dear brother or sister....... fairness doctrine. Will pastors (or christians for that matter) be able to speak against the things such as homosexuality, abortion or women in the pulpit without fear of being thrown into jail or having their non-profit status revoked. Pray dear brother or sister... pray.
