Living as Missionary Citizens

The day after the longest, most expensive election in the history of our country, the mission continues.  Shortly after the announcement of Senator Barack Obama as the next President of the United States, I turned off the television to collect my thoughts and considered the personal, not political implications of this election.  The result is a little article I have entitled, “The Change We Need.”  Here is an excerpt:

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!”
