THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION

A dose of perspective for us to read, the morning after the election.!!!

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

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

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.

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.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the tomb will still be empty.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the cross, not the government, will still be our salvation.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our children will still be more concerned with whether or not we spend time with them than with who is President.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my neighbor will still be my neighbor, and loving him/her will still be the second greatest commandment. (Do you remember the first?)

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see abortion ultimately overturned will still be winning men and women to a high view of life through the gospel of Christ.

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my retirement will still not match my treasure in Heaven.

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

True/False: The day after the election, regardless of who wins, we will still know that God is in control. No matter the outcome, I pray that you will remember who you are and who He is.

This was perfect. I wish everyone would read this -- and understand that this is most certainly true.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!Today has been a beautiful reminder of where I truly place my faith (not just in words pre-loss), but when concerns flare and uncertainty flames. It's been a great day of conversation with my kiddos about who is REALLY in charge, how we love people when we disagree with them, how we pray for our leaders, how we honor their authority, and about what a GREAT responsibility/honor we have to share Christ's love in a very fallen world.
Thank you for the great way you share His truth!
