Elections Over
Last night as I watched the election results for president one thing stood out more than anything else to me. This country is deeply divided. As far as I could tell there were only a few states that were overwhelming victories for either candidate. As a country it will be hard to move forward with such deep divisions in place. The bible teaches us that there is power in unity and that kingdoms cannot stand when they are divided.
I prayed hard last night as the returns came in. Asking God to have mercy on this nation for thinking that the economy is the number one issue. If the economy is more important than protecting the life of unborn babies, or more important than protecting marriage between one man and one woman then we as a nation have lost sight of who we were founded to be. This nation was founded on biblical principles. We have lost sight of this. Our priorities are mixed up. We must honor God first.
Now that the election is over and we have a new president, our role as Christians is to pray for those who are in authority over us. We must pray for this administration. Pray that their hearts would be in God's hands. Pray that they would stand for biblical principles. Pray, repent and turn to God as a people.

Pastor Kurt, I also was praying for our country through out the election. My prayer was from 2nd Chronicles where God is saying "if my people, who are called by my name, will fall on their knees and humble theirselves, and turn from their wicked ways, I will heal their land. I'm not stating it right on tonight, but my husband and I believe that this verse is what the American people need to read and turn to God for our country's shameful problems. I appreciate your posts and they touch my heart. Thank you so much. You have so many wonderful people in your congregation. Joy Lyn
