In these final 24 hours before the 2008 Presidential Election, I thought I’d post the following video of John Piper giving his perspective. He goes straight to the heart of the issues and he does it concisely. It is a perspective that should anchor us when we feel consumed by the emotion and the fear of this time.

Tomorrow is election day, so I will end with a quote by Walter H. Judd, a member of the U.S. Congress from 1943-1963 :
“People often say that, in democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote–a very different thing.”
Don’t waste your vote.

I cannot believe this is the same guy who penned the article entitled “One-Issue Politics, One-Issue Marriage, and the Humane Society,” which had the thesis: “I believe that the endorsement of the right to kill unborn children disqualifies a person from any position of public office.”
