Right now the church....that word is a generalization....what I mean by it here are all of the congregations....and the men in the pulpits....and even whole denominations....across America....that....'church'....is living right now in abject fear....even though they will give you sermon after sermon on how we should not fear. If the men in the pulpits were to stand there.....and warn their people that Donald Trump was not sent by God....and that all of his prophecies of a Golden Age are in opposition to God's Word....and evangelicals have been taken in by the lure of prosperity and pride and even greed.....if these pastors were to say that from their pulpits....there would ensue an insurrection within their congregation. They would either summarily be dismissed....or the church would split and the MAGA Christians would move elsewhere.
This is what happened in Germany. That man seemed too good to be true....signs and wonders everywhere....pride restored. He was going to make Germany great again. It took a few years but even men like Martin Niemöller who were deceived....saw their mistakes. There are few Dietrich Bonhoeffers today. Even the man who wrote the bestselling Bonhoffer biography missed what Bonhoeffer was warning of. That is how strong this deception and delusion is....strong enough that if it were possible....even the very elect would lose their salvation over this....but thanks be to God....He promised us that that is not possible. We may for a time be taken in....but eventually we will see the horror of where we were led.
You don't believe me....of course. You know all about March Madness coming up....but little to nothing about God's warnings to the church. Or if you are female....you know what abortion is....and what same-sex marriage is....and all the horrors of what we know today as....'wokism'....but you really haven't a clue who Spurgeon was....or Martyn Lloyd-Jones....or J. C. Ryle....or what they warned of....or even of what Billy Graham warned....nor do you particularly care....for....glory be to God....we might have won the day....because a male swimmer might not be able to swim on a girl's team! Surely God is pleased and we can now go back to our entertainments!
This today is part of that falling away that God's Word warns us of. We have fallen away from the gospel and trust in Christ....and put that trust on princes and armies and power and might. We are going to find out how mistaken we were. If you are a Christian....born again....then you are part of a remnant....not a political party. There is a winnowing coming. You may be utterly disgusted with what I write here....but you and I will be together in the days ahead....should we still be here....for we do not know what a day brings.
