It is shocking, disappointing and discouraging that the majority of Americans re-elected a man who spent four years leading our country on a downward trajectory toward fiscal bankruptcy, deplorable immorality and blasphemous spirituality. His track record in the White House demonstrated a willin gness to destroy the sanctity of marriage, promote the depraved homosexual agenda and turn the protection of a mother's womb into a tomb for the murder of precious babies. There is no logical or sensible explanation why half of America's citizens re-elected this ungodly man.

    Could it be that we are witnessing a pre-cursor of the deluding influence that is prophesied in Scripture? It is written: "God will send upon them (those who failed to the love the truth) a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness" (2 Thes. 2:10-12). Clearly we are living in a time when "men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, dis obedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness...always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Tim 3:2-7).

    As spiritually dark as our country has become, the Body of Christ must continue to be the light that points people to the only hope we have - the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our refuge and strength in times of trouble. Let us encourage one another as we see the day drawing near (Heb. 10:25)
