Tremor felt in Washington

With last nights win of US Senate by a republican in one of the most liberal if not the most liberal state in the country, Democratic members of congress felt the tremor in DC. Now if you think that everything will change you are in for a big disappointment as senate and house are still overwhelmingly controlled by the party of the President. Will there be some change, probably but more in the form of window dressing. Even if later this year the republicans sweep enough seats in the House to control 2/3 of the chamber there are not enough senate seats open for republicans to gain control of that chamber by 2/3 majority that would be needed to undo any of the spending or other costly bills of past year as the President would veto attempts to negate what has been pushed through during 1 party control.
However for the sake of discussion lets assume the republicans could get 2/3 majority in both chambers. Do you really believe there would be any long term change, many of the republicans who would be elected would be like the new Senator Brown a moderate to left leaning representative who does not offer solid support of the parties platform on pro-life, pro-family and the definition of marriage as between a man & woman. Without people of strong moral character who recognize that they are answerable to God for their actions we will continue down the path we are on until we have destroyed our nation. Our borders will continue to be violated, waste, fraud and corruption will continue to be part of not only government at all levels but of our society. When people choose to do what is right in their own eyes it is only a matter of time before country collapses into chaos. The only hope for change is a spiritual awaking in our land with real repentance from sin and the rebirth that God has promised to all who accept His Son Jesus as their personal Savior.
And we do well to note it will have to start in our Churches and then overflow into society at large, one person at a time.
