Galatians 1:4 “…who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father…”
I am not ready to call Senator Obama “evil.” When I consider some of the people he has associated with, I’d say he has been exposed to a lot of evil. When I consider the tyranny of big government he advocates, I might call that evil. When I think about abortions, the right to which he so jealously guards, I could use the term “evil”, but that is different than labeling the man evil.

Still, when I read Galatians 1:4 on the eve of the election, I had to feel a sense of comfort. Even if Senator Obama becomes President Obama, and even if all the branches of government are controlled by the likes of Reid and Pelosi, we are going to be okay. If the absolute worst case scenario was to emerge and we were to lose our freedoms to fascism, God has delivered us.
We often think of how Christ freed us and forgave us of our sins. We sometimes think of how he delivered us from the power of the devil. How often do we consider that he has delivered us from the present evil age? No matter how evil the world powers become; no matter how repressive or harassing, the Lord has delivered us from them all. So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?" Hebrews 13:6
