“...The prosperity preachers hold, more or less, that God will provide financial success to believers who have enough faith. Their gospel is a heresy, as Ross Douthat explains in his book Bad Religion. But Trump is not one to dig much beyond the surface of things religious, much less parse doctrine and guard the deposit of faith. On the campaign trail he has talked about what a great book the Bible is, while declining to identify a single favorite Bible verse. And he has said he’s not sure he’s ever asked God for forgiveness. As for attending church, he says he goes when he can but always on Christmas and Easter. In discussing his religion, he often defaults to some formulation or other of “I am a Presbyterian.”...”

My favorite Bible verses are Romans 8:28 and 29. For all things work together for good to them who love God, for those who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestine to be conformed into the image of his son.

My next favorite is Philippians 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his suffering, being made conformable unto his death.

Neither of those indicate that I should have golden sinks in my private jet.
