My friend, Dr. Wyman Richardson, pastors FBC of Dawson, GA. He sent the following “True-False Test” to me yesterday. It is timely and very helpful in giving us perspective on the presidential election. Take the test, then ask yourself how you should respond to the election results.
- 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, 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.
