In The Secret Place
This was a response to a thread I didn't know was only for a certain group. I removed it but I still wanted to post it, so I'm posting it here...
I'm not much into her but Beth Moore is not wrong. I just wish she would have called Trumpism out for the idolatry that it is. Also none of this happened in a vacuum. Several years ago I got a real sense that "something" was off concerning some of the popular "beliefs" evangelicals were going around preaching. When I finally sat down with the Word, I found out the Word wasn't saying what they said. What they said sounded like the Word but upon further investigation it wasn't. I also witnessed Christian radio and TV (700 Club) become more and more political to the point where I had to turn it off.
I'll go on record to say that I believe that whole "Cyrus" thing was nothing more than a lie that appealed to the flesh. I believe it was the way evangelicals justified their support for Trump. For me the issue was never about Trump because he wasn't living anything and he wasn't trying to.
The problem for me is the evangelicals who are following Trump, caught up in full blown idolatry and claiming to know God. They are oblivious that they no longer have a testimony in Christ with some of us who are Christian and to many of those who are not. Their reputation is trash and they have no moral high ground to stand on no matter how many times they say they're pro-life, God's name, or quote Scriptures.
When some of these evangelical Trump supporters start talking about what Trump has supposedly done for Christians, IMHO it has a cheap feel to it considering what they gave up. Talk about a hoodwink. It pays to remember whatever the world can give you, the world can take it away. We are to put our trust in God through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus said if He be lifted up not man. Too bad many evangelicals following Trump have forgotten this if they ever knew it to begin with.
