My son came home from his homeschool co-op and asked was it true that we would no longer be able to homeschool if Obama becomes president? I told him no, that people fear change and they fear the unknown but our God is a sovereign God and He is the one who puts people into power. President-elect Obama has never suggested or stated such a position and that while the party he represents tends to not be in favor of certain educational philosophies it in no way threatened our way of life. That same day my nephews came home from their affluent Christian school saying that if McCain didn’t win God would turn his back on America. I hung my head in disappointment. I long for Christians to follow Jesus first and be identified with Him.
Let me urge you to be a Christian first! Seek truth, unity and the Kingdom of God. Do not fear for He is sovereign, do not slander for it is sin. Build one another up. Seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly.

amen. nothing comes upon us except that which passes through the hands of the almighty.
It's pretty easy to imagine we are living in the end times. Maybe we are. Maybe we aren't. Does it really change God's expectations of us?
Like you said, we are to live as "Christians". Sadly, the Christian identity is being claimed by others much like the rainbow. But, God's expectations remain the same.
