On November 5th, a political earthquake shook Washington, D.C. As the results started to come in from across the nation, it became clear that the American people have had enough of Democrat control. What began (presumably) as a 50/50 race eventually became a convincing victory for President-elect Donald Trump, a sizable Republican majority in the Senate, and a continued GOP majority in the House.
As of this writing, there are still some undecided House races, but we know enough to say that Republicans will be in a position to enact much of their legislative agenda with little meaningful resistance. Only time will tell whether they remain firm on guiding conservative principles, but it is certainly our prayer that they will make considerable progress at stemming the tide of cultural destruction, which accelerated under the Biden/ Harris administration.
As we approach the 20th of January, President-elect Trump will continue making selections for cabinet positions, the legislative agenda will begin to take shape, and foreign policy priorities will become clear. Each of these things has the ability to profoundly impact the lives of every American not only for the next four years, but for generations to come. For our part, social conservatives must continue to speak up and speak out about the importance of confronting cultural issues with biblical values. Only Christ working in us and through us can transform that which is dead and broken. We pray that there will be a revival among our leaders, that they will be powerful instruments for the Kingdom, and that they will pursue goodness, punish evil, and give glory to God in all that they do.
