Memo to evangelical Trumpites: forget the crowds and the ungodly alliances.
Bill Muehlenberg, Culturewatch.
[…]time and time again Israel was warned about obtaining national security through making alliances with pagan rulers and nations…Israel was to trust God alone, not pagan military might. It seems Christians today have failed to learn these lessons. We still look to man to save us, when such hopes are in vain. In the US, millions of so-called Christians are pinning all their hopes on one man: a pagan, immoral and arrogant man no less.
Yet somehow they think God will smile on their alliance with this pagan leader. Somehow they think America can ‘become great again’ if they just give all their allegiance to King Trump. They are, as Scripture so soundly refers to them, fools.
As Psalm 20:7 puts it: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” Trump will not save America. Indeed, there is every possibility he will make things worse – much worse. Yet millions of blind and deluded evangelicals are singing his praises, looking to him to be America’s messiah.
