Trump ?

[ProDeo]

Trump on numerous occasions has gone on record stating a few contradictory things that should be alarming for true Christian’s.

2- says he has never asked God to forgive him for anything.

Wasn't about 10 years ago or so, when he said that?

I’m not sure do you know ?

I’m not sure do you know ?

There is an old video on YouTube where he said so in an interview, if I remember correctly.

As much as I would like to think he's a child of God, but based on his speech and the way he lives his overall life I could not and would call him a believers according to God' word. He had a very hard time saying that he has asked for forgiveness of his sin ~ children of God ask every day for God to forgive their shortcomings, for even in our most holy sincere acts of worship. sin is mixed with our righteousness that we think we are doing. Again, a tree is known by its fruits as said our Lord Jesus, I believe him, not what my heart wants to believe.

God warned us about wanting a king instead of a King (1 Samuel 8:1-18), but chose otherwise "...that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king (small "k") may judge us and go before us and fight our battles." (v.20)

It reminds me how loving our God is to give us up to our desires (Romans 1:24-25), how the path to destruction is wide (Matthew 7:13-14), in the end we'll have "itchy ears" (2 Timothy 4:3-4), and "there is no authority except drom God, and those that exist have been instituted by God" (Romans 13:1), but that we are to pray "for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life" (1 Timothy 2:2).

Yes, I wish our Commander in Chief has the humility of Solomon to recognize his inadequacy to rule outside of God's guidance. Young Solomon boldy prayed as such (1 Kings 3:5-9). The result? God also gave him "what you have not asked" (v.13).

My question, my challenge, how then have we prayed for our elected officials to govern with wisdom?

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)

I know not is Trump, or anyone for that matter, is a true believer or saved. What I do know is I'm commanded to love, pray, exhort, encourage, submit, and much more that I cannot, and will not do, without His Holy Spirit.

So, I'll start.

Father God, with humble and contrite hearts, that we know you don't despise, we lift up our leaders of this free nation to repent and return unto you for forgiveness, mercy, guidance, obedience, and a hunger for righteousness. Let their subjects (us) be found as a house of prayer, consistently and fervently interceding through our most powerful weapon, prayer.

Uh oh.... I am in trouble again.

I do not have a favorite verse.

When I was a babe in Christ, I would have spouted John 3:16 without batting an eye.

As to The Donald.... I think religiously he is so scrambled because while I applaud his dropping his claim to the Presbyterian church, when he said he was now a non-denominational Christian it did upset me. For that to me means he has no solid beliefs.

It is a shame because even though he was Presby, which means he would have been taught Predestination.... maybe he just feels secure where he is at with God?

I have no doubt that he is in office today because God put him there. (He also said he believed that) but I wonder if
that is because of the way he will govern.... like maybe God is moving some more of His chess pieces toward the
soon return of Jesus?

I voted for him 3 times. I do not know if this last was a is take or not, but there was no other option IMO.

But the change religiously does bother me, for I wish he was committed to a belief, even one I disagreed with, then taking the Kumbaya way.

so being a non denom christian is bad?
