One of my worst fears is coming true.
One of my concerns about evangelical Christians supporting
President Trump with such fervor despite his lack of respect for even Christian
traditions, let alone morality, is that we would end up making ourselves look and
sound silly in the process and thus besmirch the Name of Jesus.
A Trump opponent in Asbury Park, N.J. has taken that ball and run with it.
An entry in the Urban Legends Reference Page, better known
as snopes.com, showed a sign being displayed on his lawn saying “God bows to President
Donald J[sic] Trump [because] he is perfect.” It dawned on me, however, that he
wasn’t just mocking the president.
He was mocking his evangelical supporters even more. And
that hurts, because God is being embarrassed.
Now, we may say that that sign went too far and that the
president is only being used by God as a tool to implement His divine agenda.
But what actually is that agenda? Well, to these people it’s merely ending
legal abortion, driving gays back into the closet and lifting up America. But
Trump does so without a shred of humility or regret, focusing only on defeating
the “enemies of God.”
And doing so doesn’t bless Him in the least, if for no other
reason than He’s being misrepresented. Worse, the “world” is catching on.
