When Donald Trump was elected President, some heralded it as the beginning of America’s great turnaround. MAGA, make America great again, was the cry that went up from his supporters. This author favored the sentiment, but could that really happen for a nation that has turned away from God? De Tocqueville wrote that America was great because it was good; if it ceased to be good, it would also cease to be great. It was good, he determined, because it humbled itself before God.
President Trump was a reprieve granted to praying Christians for a time, but only repentance could really turn the nation around. From 1988 to 2016, the Presidency was in the hands of men who marched us toward globalism, regardless of party affiliation. When Trump broke that 28 year streak, election protocols were bulldozed to install the current puppet into the White House.
It only appeared to be an assault on Trump; in fact, it is an ongoing assault on TRUTH. Mainstream news media has discarded objectivity in favor of editorializing everything. There are two sides to every story and they will make sure we hear one of them! It is money that is talking, the god of this world. The father of lies uses only enough truth to make his deceptions believable.
Jesus told Pilate that He came to declare truth. Pilate was dismissive, “What is truth?” Spoken like a politician, for whom truth is a convenience, rather than an absolute. The problem is truth belongs to God. He upholds it, no matter how those in power try to suppress it! It has outlasted every empire for that reason. It will outlast the current usurper, too.
It may not save this nation, though. Grievous sins separate it from the God of grace. The division between its people mirrors the division between it and Him. Mr. Trump is just a man. Only Jesus of Nazareth can reconcile us to His Father. He warned that a house divided cannot stand, remember? A nation divided will fare no better. Unity that takes place apart from Him only assures that those so united move to embrace destruction together!
Let us find our unity in kneeling before the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ!
