Preface: It is axiomatic that political movements seek to draw the youth to their side. The Left...Biden and Obama going back to Clinton....had youth on their side....and now Maga has them on their side. 'Christian' is not the word to describe it....and 'religious' is too week of a word. Theonomous will do. It's all about God. The Christian God....just happens to be the God. It is both good in its simplicity....and devastating in its simplicity. It is worship in a half religious/half political setting. It is beyond exuberance....to being ecstatic. It is zealotry....zeal without knowledge. (Proverbs 19:2) It is a movement within a movement....'Christian' worship music within MAGA....an American Exposition....or an evangelical exhibition of modern day worship....that can be directed to anything religious or secular.
Turning Point USA has certainly caused thousands of young people to dedicate themselves to the MAGA movement....probably tens of thousands have been motivated....and maybe hundreds of thousands have been influenced in one way or another. I have been going on college campuses for over fifteen years....mostly Christian colleges....and I have always had the same hope....that maybe six....that's the number I've prayed....that maybe six young people from that campus might bond together like John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield and another bonded together at Oxford....this being almost 300 years ago....in what became known as their....Holy Club....but more so that these young people might find others with which to study God's Word....and be encouraged by the fellowship of like minds...in this vexing and tempestuous and tempting age and culture that we live in.
Tomorrow is yet another Lord's Day....and as I prayed at the dinner table only an hour ago...."Lord....for Thy name's sake....may Thy Holy Spirit cause Thy faithful servants to toss and turn relentlessly this night....before entering their pulpits....that they might speak tomorrow words that did not come from their sermon preparations."
