Preface: Personally I find it astounding. Let me say this first....I'm 69 years old....God opened my eyes in 1982.....37 years ago. If you are too young to have lived through the 80s you won't know what I'm talking about but many Christians back then knew that America was in rebellion against God....and was about to be judged. We had more ministers than you could shake a stick at reminding us of it. Three decades later....we....America....are 300% worse in our rebellion....(we could not even have imagined this America back then)....but now close to 100% blind to it. It's astounding that this has happened to us! You do the math....or in this case the logic....this church era that we live in right now is an absolute disaster. Preaching with an unction for the gospel is practically non-existent....for preaching glory has pushed aside preaching the cross. Prosperity and music are the calling cards where we now congregate in the most aesthetically attractive building....to show the world that our God is good....and very hip! I look over the Christian books every Tuesday while in Barnes & Noble....and then spot the same Billy Graham book Where I Am sitting untouched....fully aware that hundreds of other good Christian books are published but B&N won't carry them because no one will buy them....because no one has any discernment on anything anymore.....and at times I've come close to just breaking down right there....in the Christian Life section of Barnes & Noble. God had taken home both Billy Graham and R. C. Sproul....their job of warning us done. He has judged the church first ....by taking away our discernment.
The Apostle Paul was incredulous. He asked the Galatians in his letter to them....."who has bewitched you'.....more fully...."You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you...?" As I was reading yesterday through this letter from Paul to the Galatians.....and came across this verse again at the beginning of the third chapter.....I just naturally paused....my mind going back to America's troubles....where I so often try and fail to take a break from....and I could have uttered.....'you foolish evangelicals, who has bewitched you?'
So speaking to evangelicals here if I may.....who or what has bewitched you so that have forsaken trust in Christ....as it pertains to America....for that's what you have done! Who is it that strengthened your stubborness and your pride so that you utterly refuse to even read about who this man is who has been his whole life a plague upon those he deals with and 'befriends'....and now is a plague upon us? Who is it that blinded you so that you rally around such a despicable individual as Donald Trump? This is a man would never enter a church to hear the gospel.....and from I have seen only enters a church for a photo op on a major holiday where he almost cannot avoid being there.....and who is on some golf course every Lord's Day....confidently smiling over the deal he thinks he has with God.....'I won't step on His toes...and He won't step on mine.'
This is a man who indicated in the past that he doesn't see anything in himself where forgiveness might be needed. Raised in the secular church of the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale....you can see in him that secular gospel of positive thinking.....but to Christians he has taken on the role of a false prophet as he proclaims peace and security....where God's Word very clearly warns of judgment. He has a habit a gathering ministers around him to lay hands on him and pray for him but this is all political to keep your vote....and there are 'ministers' in these photos who we would normally never....ever....listen to. Kenneth Copeland is one of the 250 ministers who signed the Reverend Franklin Graham's letter about praying for President Trump.
There is nothing about Donald Trump that I have ever read.....and I am up to three dozen books right now....that evidences any Christian influence.....and plenty that is diametrically opposed to Christian teaching. So again....who or what has bewitched you....that you have chosen a false prophet as your champion.?
Is it Jonathan Cahn's book The Paradigm where a President Trump is more than likened....he's almost tied in mathematically....connect the dots big time....with Jehu who rid Israel of Jezebel.....or should I add Hilary? Is this how we study God's Word today?
Pro-life is a key issue in this administration but Donald Trump could not care less about it....in spite of any words he may speak or tweet. This I know from even his recent past....as Ivanka the Terrible went to see the president of Planned Parenthood after her father was elected and tried to broker a deal where PP could split and then abort babies while still keep their funding.....or don't you know about that......or do you think that she did this on her own.
The man in our White House lies as freely and and easily as anyone I had ever encountered in public life.....and actually much, much more than anything I have even seen. Who I ask you....does God's Word call the 'father of lies? This is your champion! Do you not see even a touch of Nebuchadnezzar in Donald Trump......"Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence to display my majestic splendor?" But we do not read the books that tell us these things because we have been indoctrinated into thinking that they are all fake news....which leads me to this....
Have you studied the sects known today as 'Christian' cults? Evangelicals studied them a lot back in the 1980s. If you did you might see a similarity with the men (women) who started the typical cult....and Donald Trump. Here is a leader who cannot be questioned....with his own personal scriptures (talk radio) to guide us....and severe penalties if we abandon that faith. One other thing about this....these cults may appear to say the most wonderful things about Jesus Christ....their Jesus Christ. They all may differ in many ways....but they have one thing in common....all of them....Jesus Christ is not God....(alhough he may be 'a god'.) What does Donald Trump think about Jesus Christ? He's good at having someone fix him up with an answer in a situation like this but if he ever does answer this....or comment on it....look deep into that answer friends....for if Donald Trump had any idea at all on who Jesus Christ is....he would be on his knees in humble repentance....and this tragic figure that has captured the evangelical would have long ago sought with all his heart....what is right....and not just....what is profitable.
Friends....if I have any left....you do not want this man for four additional years. He would abandon any pretext of being your friend once he no longer needed you. He has serious psychological problems but you wouldn't know that because you won't read. There is time to demand that someone challenge him in the primaries....for if someone would.....and Donald Trump would have to stand on a debate stage against a conservative who knows him and dislikes everything about him....and examines just what President Trump has accomplished....and what he has lied about.....and what he has taken sole credit for that conservatives had worked at for decades....and what he has made worse in his risk-taking quest for profit and personal glory....then it would be all over! This new Trump establishment must keep us quiet until the nomination is secured. Think about this also....you do not want President Trump making life and death decisions about North Korea or Iran or China or anywhere....where he is more concerned with winning or losing an election!
Note: I recommend this occasionally....if you returned from church today feeling malnourished....as did Oliver after being served gruel after a long grace was said......"Please, sir, I want some more".....try Googling a sermon from the past.....this one might do.....Google....Martyn Lloyd-Jones.....The End Of The Age.
