He who is without sin can throw the first stone, you people better wake up. God sent Moses to a leader with a hardened heart, this time He sent a leader to a nation of half that have a hardened heart, watch God work through this man. Our God is so great. I am sick already of this third world war, the WAR of words, and you who more educated think you have the advantage.

The nation is hopelessly in debt, involved in 5 wars, injustice reigns supreme, human trafficking is the most underreported story of our time, parts of Chicago and other large cities are in chaos- the civil authorities cannot restore order. And you guys are worried about overturning Roe v. Wade, Hillary Clinton’s progressive agenda, and the supremacy of Donald J. Trump?

THe most merciful thing that could happen is for the Lord Jesus to return; to rapture His elect and wipe this earth clean with His holy fire.

The one characteristic that Mr. Keller omitted was perhaps the most important- the Christians of yore, the TRUE Christians (not the nominal, antinomian lot we have today), were palpably “other-worldly.” They were in the world, but their lives proved they were not of the world.

Why are you guys hanging onto this dying order?

And I understand that the Democratic National Committee chairman, Tom Perez, has declared there is no place in their party for the pro-life position. I believe they’re making a serious mistake, and it dearly cost them in the last election. Thank you for pointing this out. –Philip

With Gov. Andrew Cuomo already having declared that there “is no place in New York” for pro-life people, I think we know where the Democrats are headed. Some universities already are requiring statements of belief from faculty that go against Christian teachings, and the notion that the government should be able to put someone out of business because their viewpoints don’t coincide with the latest Democratic Party Platform is something that should alarm even you.

No, Donald Trump is not a “good” president, and the trends of open hostility from the U.S., state, and local governments toward evangelicals will continue. Sojourners already has declared that “religious liberty” is “tyranny” in another form, so we know where they stand with all of this. Nonetheless, I hope you do understand that Trump did not declare open warfare against Christians, as did Hillary Clinton and her party, like it or not.

Thank you for your letter. After reading Philip’s article and your letter, I am so glad I am not alone. I am so heartbroken over the evangelical community and no longer consider myself an “evangelical”, just a plain struggling Christian.
Grace toward others and prayer for our leaders and country-the two most effective and meaningful things we can do.

I agree- the Christians who follow him will eventually see the “light” (hard to say that, because they should now!) and no one is above redemption. Thank you! I’ll keep praying too! Thank you for preaching grace!

I share your concerns completely. Policies are important, but so is character. My hunch is that Mr. Trump is so volatile that he may well eventually alienate the Christians who now support him so wholeheartedly. I pray for him, and for those who have his ear, that they may have influence. No one is beyond redemption.

Great reminder, David. Thank you. –Philip
