The longest and costliest ever!

Election 2008! Remember Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee? And is John Edwards in Witness Protection?

And besides being the longest and costliest campaign, it's also an election of firsts: the first African American nominee for a major party, the first time both candidates were born outside the continental U.S. And if the Republicans win, the first woman Vice President. And while Barack Obama wouldn't be the youngest president, John McCain would certainly be the oldest first-term president in our history.

So we wait! And while we do, take a minute and read this excerpt from a letter Stuart Briscoe (Telling the Truth) wrote to his radio listeners. He said, in part:

"It would be a dreadful mistake to pin our hopes on this man [who will be president], his administration, or any political figures. We must not confuse the President with the Redeemer. So we need two things: prayer for a mere man who has taken on an unenviable task; and a longing for revival--it's better than 'change' or even 'reform.' So welcome Mr. President, whoever you are. We promise to pray for you and commit ourselves to carefully delineating between you and the Redeemer. For you we will pray, and for Him we will proclaim!"
