We the United States elected our first African American President. And while I may not be excited about the choice I do know that as a Christian I am called to pray for our leaders. There are many things that I don't agree with Obama on. Some of his "changes" really scare me. But I was sent this in an email today that really puts some perspective on what I need to do for our new President.
Dear Friends,
For months now my email Inbox has been besieged by nearly hysterical
warnings about what will happen if Barack Obama becomes President. I
have been encouraged to be worried, afraid, concerned, prepared for
disaster, and a whole host of other maladies if this happens. I do not
deny the importance of this election, but it seems to me that we need a
dose of perspective. So here, after the election, I would like
to start my own email concerning this election. It's a "True/False"
test. I'd like for all of us to take it. Feel free to email it on to
whomever:
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 know 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, 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.
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.
How did you score?
Regardless of who wins... My God is in control!!
God bless America in Jesus name!
