This is the essence of Trump is winning. The essence of Christ is sacrifice. Politically, we chose winning. 1/10

One of my favorite articles (that I wrote) on the subject deals with Trump, Christ, winning and losing. 2/10

When I defend Trump, it is within the context of winning, not as a Christian defending faith. For there is no faith to defend in our president. He’s as dead as the most hardened atheist in respect to what a Christian should do. 3/10

btw, I wrote this in 2016. Is it wrong? You tell me. 4/10

“Trump will sacrifice Biblical values, sink the country to a moral low point...and attack anyone who opposes him.” That’s his essence. We’ve swam in that ocean for 4 years. 5/10

“one pastor (who I will leave unnamed) put it, ‘if we elect this man to the White House, the first time Christians disagree with him, we will get everything that’s coming to us.’” I know who said it & one day I might ask permission to name the person, who holds high office. 6/10

Can we trust Trump in a final second term when he doesn’t have to bow to Christians for re-election? When he’s spent 4 years breaking his enemies? When he’s tired us like Rocky taking punches in a prize fight? 7/10

If you answer “yes” you might value the Gospel if Winning more than the Gospel of Christ which is the Gospel of Sacrifice. As a nation we chose winning but as Christians we must be careful, vigilant and wise. 8/10

You may ask, like Peter if we abandon our causes to take up our savior...“Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?””
Matthew 19:27 NIV 9/10

Jesus answered throughout Scripture that leaving is gaining. Dying is living. Be careful, Christian.

“But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
Matthew 19:30 NIV

America First could mean Jesus last. Jesus last = Americans Last.

10/10 END
