For Christians here and across the world, the ongoing confrontation over the fate of USAID dramatically illustrates the moral degeneration of the politicians who most fervently profess their piety. While Donald Trump wraps himself in the mantle of the Almighty, his assault on the world’s largest relief agency is a modern passion play, with scheming malefactors of great wealth sadistically persecuting sincere people of faith who seek to serve the poor.

The same report from People for the American Way added:

White joined Trump at the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, where she prayed that God would give rallygoers a “holy boldness” and that “every adversary” would “be overturned right now in the name of Jesus.” … White has repeatedly declared that her mere presence in the White House makes it “holy ground” and warned that to oppose Trump is to oppose God.

Ugh. I’d just about managed to forget about her weird speaking in tongues garbage. I guess maybe muskrat is one of those “angels from Africa” she was trying to summon for Donny.

To be clear, it is outrageous, just not the least bit surprising.

That’s for overseeing the separation of church and state, right?

In the wake of having to sack several very senior members of the church for their cover=ups of past abuse scandals, this doesn’t seem like a great move.

The Antichrist is coming and is already here – Baptist News Global

The Antichrist, as presented in Scripture, represents the incredibly dangerous risk associated with the unchecked authority of powerful figures who wield influence in the economic, technological and political realms. These figures diminish Jesus’ glory and seek to displace him with their own perverted mythos and vision of the world where might makes right.

As such, it is high time evangelicals and other Christians of all stripes perform a self-soul audit: Are we following the way of Jesus, or are we being swept along with the demonic spirit of the age as we yield or conflate devotion to Jesus with devotion to the mocking Beast?
