Post-Election Analysis: True or False?

The following "True-False Test" was sent out on Election Day by a pastor in Georgia. It is timely and very helpful in giving us perspective on the presidential election.

1. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, Jesus will still be King.

2. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our responsibilities as Christians will not have changed one iota.

3. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the greatest agent for social change in America will still be winning the hearts and minds of men and women through the gospel, not legislation.

4. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my primary citizenship will still be in this order: (1) the Kingdom of God, (2) America, not vice-versa.

10. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see gay marriage ultimately defeated will still be winning men and women to a biblical view of marriage through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

12. True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, "Jesus Is Lord" will still be the greatest truth in the Universe.

Amen!!! It really is so temporal the result of this, or any election. We sing "This world is not my home", but we sure coil back in anguish when our first choice for a leader doesn't win. I pray Christians don't get distraut and distracted by the election results. Love your post!
