The following post is only two months old. Referring to the end of the post....we evangelicals have indeed in as much as said that Jesus is delayed in His return....and thus we....through the transformation by Donald Trump....are little more than but a mob seeking someone...anyone....to beat....and this as Jesus is not delaying His return!
The evangelical sees their country being destroyed....in real time....right before their own eyes. This new 'progressive' party as the Democrats prefer to call themselves....is the main culprit....and being anti-God which it indeed is....makes it all the easier to mount an aggressive campaign against it. Enter Trump....despicable and vile....but so what....he's tough and we have to get tough! That is essentially the evangelical mindset....but there are serious problems with this conclusion.
No....we are generally not pro-abortion....and we do not generally support same-sex marriage and everything involved with that....but we somehow have removed ourselves from culpability on how America came to be what it is today. We played around with our idols of sport and recreation and entertainment just as much as the other side did. We focused on 401s and retirement....and consequently found it hard to empathise with with those living right in the midst of the urban disaster of Democrat politics. We benefited from white privilege....I am proof of that....but we totally deny the concept. (I just brought up an older post....White Privilege....if you are interested....it's about half way down the archives to your left)
We knew very well that Barack Obama wanted to...."fundamentally transform America"....but we were caught unaware as Trump has fundamentally transformed us! You cannot hang around....so to speak....people literally filled with hatred and anger....for years on end....and not have it rub off on you. The foolishness of Tucker Carlson has dimmed us. The consistent anger from Alex Marlow has coarsened us. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Charlie Kirk have made us drunk with vengeance. Mark Levin hoped too much for a savior....and wound up worshipping a false prophet. Cruz and Rubio and Graham floundered. Trump himself has bewitched us!
Evangelicalism....weak to begin with....collapsed in a spiritual dementia of sorts that followed....forgetting that verse that used to be at the forefront of our minds....Zechariah 4:6....ESV...."This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts"....we today in as much as deny that....that yes it is by might and by power....that we will become great again....for we will in essence build our own homes....as the Lord's house lies in great need of repair.
Our thinking process today is baked by politics....not even seasoned by the Word of God. We have our teachers....but they are of the constitution....and not God's Word. Our opinion on the border or Russia or China or Israel is molded by these teachers. We don't pant after living waters....but rather drink in the Jesse Watters' of our day.
Folks....brothers and sisters....where is our heart....what are our eyes focused on....upon whom or what have we placed our trust? Do we look up and pray....Maranatha....Lord Jesus Come....or do we....as the wicked servant....say...." 'My master is delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drink with drunkards..." If that is the case we must hear what Jesus continued with...."the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect and at an hour he does not know." (Matthew 24: 48-50....this is part of the Olivet Discourse folks!)
