But there is also a bitter side to this Democratic win, because this was also a vote on conservative Christian values. And this evening American evangelicalism took a swift kick between the legs. After two decades of power and influence in American politics, American evangelicalism has been booted out of office by postmodernism and the perimeter states. The rise of Barack Obama, combined with a strengthened democratic Congress, will mean the death of any challenge to Roe vs. Wade, the implementation of stem cell research using cultivated fetuses, dwindling support for Israel, increased support for gay marriage, and what will likely be a stunning array of liberal and godless proposals. A great sea-change has just taken place, and it will take decades to reverse it, if it ever can be reversed.
America is about to embark on a very dangerous spiritual journey with a very left-wing president. Her false prophets (the left-wing media) have spoken and the people have listened. They have rejected Christian values in favor of a Golden Calf. It’s like watching the stupidity of Israel all over again.
But I think it’s fair to say that the church itself shoulders some of the blame for this. In many quarters we have so liberalized the Bible message that it has lost all its command on our lives. And clearly, we have done a poor job of convincing many of our disciples that God means what He says in His holy Word. I say this because today so many young, postmodern, evangelicals see no problem with abortion, stem cell research, and a whole host of other issues that contradict the Bible.
Perhaps Billy Graham was right. Several years ago I watched him wistfully tell Larry King that he felt like his ministry had been a colossal failure. King couldn’t understand why he would feel that way, and Graham said, “because, Larry, our country is worse off morally and spiritually than they were before I started.” He looked like a very discouraged prophet.
Yes, the road ahead is spiritually dark for America. This election has proven that in spades. America is in desperate need of revival and spiritual awakening.
We must pray for a revival in the land, and that this time in the wilderness will be short.
