I pray often for Donald Trump. I pray he will seek repentance for his sins – as we all must – and come to knowledge of the Lord God and His will. Jesus went to the cross for POTUS just as He did for each one of us. But Christ’s sacrifice is in vain if we fail to repent, to forgive, to obey, and to love. My prayers extend to those who empower, enable and encourage Trump in his sinful behaviors – especially those elevating him to the status of demigod. The purpose of these posts is neither to admonish or condemn but to inspire reflection among his Christian apologists concerning obedience to God’s word and church hypocrisy.
