True or False?

A friend of mine sent this little "test" on to me and I wanted to share it. It touched my heart and reminded me that this world is not my home and even the election cannot change that I have a hope and a future - not because of who is or who is not President - but because of Who holds the world in His hands!

True or False: In spite of the election results, 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 or False: In spite of the election results, my retirement will still not match my treasure in Heaven.

True or False: In spite of the election results, "Jesus Is Lord" will still be the greatest truth in the Universe.

True or False: In spite of the election results, we will still know that God is on His throne.

How did you score?

Be encouraged. As the Christmas hymn reminds us - God is not dead, nor does He sleep and His charge to us as His children is that we love Him, first and foremost with all we have and all we are and that we love one another for love covers a multitude of sins. I challenge each of us to be busy about God's business and that we not forget the purpose for which He created each of us.
Loving you with His love - A
