The next time someone from the pulpit tells you how bad the world is, I want you to think about your part of the world. How bad is your neighborhood? How bad is your job? How dangerous is your grocery store? How wild is your Walmart?
We are told how bad the world is for a reason. That reason is not so that we will love people more or love Jesus more. It is to motivate us to reach out to save people from destruction. It is to challenge us to go to war for truth. It is to shock us to pray more and to give more and to witness more and to preach more.
I wonder why anyone who follows Christ would think of Donald Trump as a prophet? President Trump is not a Christian. He will not join us in Heaven when he dies. He is a sinner just like most of the other people in the world. And because he is rich, it will be hard for him to get saved.
Evangelicals in politics are not in politics to save the world. The want worldly power to control people. They want to legislate their brand of righteousness. They are kingdom builders, not Earth fillers. They admire the rich and famous and powerful and they despise the poor. Many evangelicals are not born again. They are CINO.
We have one job as the body of Christ. We have our marching orders. God has not changed His mind about the church. Ask your pastor what our main job is. If it doesn't involve preaching the gospel to the poor then he is wrong.
