In light of the day that we change from reading political ads and rants in social and general media to reading gloating and/or doomsaying (regardless of who would have been elected), I thought I'd post to you all a catalog of links to various Christian responses in social media to President Obama's re-election last night.
Said catalog is actually quite big and diverse.
Trevin Wax recounts things we should learn. Ed Stetzer gives good tips in answering the question, "What now?," and an occasional contributor at Patheos gives us ways to "detox." Richard Stearns sees an upside to the cultural shifts indicated in Obama's re-election: the decrease in nominal Christians and the refining of faithful Christians. Al Mohler, on the other hand, is very concerned about America's "changing moral landscape." Russell Moore wrote a frequently-shared post on how we should honor and pray for the president, acknowledging God's unchanged sovereignty, purposes, and call to us, and that sentiment, generic but biblical and necessary to remember, is shared by Collin Hansen, Kevin DeYoung and Jon Acuff. Karen Zacharias encourages us to "be the change," and David Matthis reminds us that there's "bigger fish to fry:" disciple-making.
Surprisingly and impressively, this sentiment was even shared in a video that's already been released, barely 12 hours after the election results. Check it out here.
Any other good blogs are articles you think should be mentioned in this list?
