The president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary’s discusses how the election of an African-American as president “transcends politics and touches the heart of the American people”:
That victory is a hallmark moment in history for all Americans – not just for those who voted for Sen. Obama. As a nation, we will never think of ourselves the same way again. Americans rich and poor, black and white, old and young, will look to an African-American man and know him as President of the United States. The President. The only President. The elected President. Our President.
On other social issues, Mohler says, conservative Christians “face awesome battles ahead”:
On issue after issue, we face a longer, harder, and more protracted struggle than ever before. … This is no time for surrender or the abandonment of our core principles. We face a much harder struggle ahead, but we have no right to abandon the struggle.”
