Rev. Rob Schenck, president of the religiously conservative National
Clergy Council and its affiliate, Faith and Action in the Nation's Capital, released
this statement today as election results continue to be reported:
"While pro-life, pro-family and pro-acknowledgement of God
Americans are disappointed this morning in election outcomes, there is a silver
lining in this otherwise dark election cloud. Democrats, who historically have
opposed the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and the public acknowledgement
of God, none-the-less chose some moral conservatives among their ranks. This lean
toward a more conservative Democrat Party is a good thing. There has been need
for a moral reformation within the party. While last night's elections don't cure
the moral problem in the core of the Democrat Party, it may moderate their previously
and ardently pro-abortion, anti-marriage and radically secularist agenda.
A good sign yesterday were the seven clear victories on state
amendments defining marriage as between one man and one woman, and the likely
passage of another when votes are fully counted.
On the gloomy side, having a speaker of the house--the third person
in constitutional succession to the president--who is a radical pro-abortion,
pro-homosexual agenda, European-like secularist does make our mission of cultural
moral reform difficult.
The National Clergy Council and its lay affiliate Faith and Action,
prayerfully recommits itself to being a strong, unapologetic Christian witness
to moral truth on Capitol Hill and in every state capital. With faith in God,
confidence in the Gospel and great hope for America, we renew our mission to challenge
Capitol Hill with biblical truth and change the nation one policymaker at a time!
Today our ministry team sits in on two of the most critical sanctity
of life cases to be heard at the Supreme Court since the 1973 Roe v. Wade
opinion opening the blood-gates of abortion. Outside the Court our ministry partners
will hold a prayer vigil and rally.
In the end, our confidence is not in parties, politicians or judges
and justices, but in a God who "changes not." He has preserved His people
through terrible periods of ungodly barbarism, fierce persecution and satanic
attacks. He will preserve his remnant again! Hallelujah!
Now, back to the battle! Jesus said we must work while it is yet
day, for night comes when no man can work! Let's get back to work to the glory
of God!"
