Now that the election is over, how should Christians respond? Especially if one feels that the election did not provide the results that one hoped for?I found several articles that I thought worthy of sharing:
America Has Chosen A President, by Albert H. Mohler
A Christian Response To The 2008 Election, by Mark D. Roberts
The series of articles by Mark D. Roberts prompted me to develop and preach the following sermon on the Lord's Day following the election:
When The Election Is Over
Another article that I found thought provoking is this one:
Religious Right, R.I.P., by Cal Thomas
If the above article by Cal Thomas intrigues you, you can read more of his perspective in his book:
Blinded By Might: Why The Religious Right Can't Save America

It is good political strategy to limit your group's thrust to only a few objectives that a large portion of your allies can agree on. To win, your side must be united. The Fallwells and Dobsons have done very well by uniting the christian right around abortion and homosexuality and ignoring other moral concerns. I am a Christian who is disturbed by these two sins. BUT, I cannot persuade myself that these two are the only mortal sins. We have had eight years of corruption, pride, war mongering, bullying the rest of the world, environmental retreat, and extreme partisanship. The rich are richer and the poor are poorer. It is OK to give away tax dollars to the rich, but sinful to give tax dollars to the poor. Enough is enough.
The corruption has been occuring for a period far longer than eight years, my friend. I'd say corruption has been around since the founding of our nation. Unfortunately, those professing clean hearts have very dirty hands.
God bless America. We can't do it ourselves.
