took a look at the guy’s church and personal web site.

his denomination is Presbyterian, specifically ECO, a denomination that split off from the VERY liberal PCUSA. They were apparent conservative Presbyterians who rejected the LGBTQ lifestyle celebrated by the PCUSA, which seems to have become a heretical organization.

The ECO, however, does think it is okay to have women pastors. So they seem to have a different take than most conservative Presbyterian denominations.

His personal web site shows he went to Fuller Seminary, which is a seminary that has gone pretty woke.

I do think this fella, whether willingly or unwittingly, is working to lead evangelicals down the path of ignoring the dangers of leftist politics and condemning the social conservatism that has been a hallmark of evangelical engagement in the public square.

Beware.

JESUS IS MY SAVIOR!
TRUMP IS (merely) MY PRESIDENT

But tell you what — after ALL the man has endured and sacrificed for eight long years, including miraculous deliverance from an assassin’s bullet, only the most hardhearted and undiscerning fail to see the hand of Providence upon President Trump, who WAS raised up by GOD for such a time as this.

Thank GOD and praise Christ the King for giving us Donald Trump!

“More than anything, it’s about asking: ‘How do I allow the values and virtues and viewpoints of the kingdom of God to be my guiding principles?’” said Leavitt, whose church sees about 60 people each Sunday.
Hey if I offered free pizza I bet I could get 60 people to join the Bookshelf Church.

...debate over whether Barack Obama was the Antichrist...

Given the percecution of Christians under Islamic rule I'd say Mad Moe has earned that title. Obama's very name is Islamic .

We are in a war. Not a metaphorical war, a true war with each side wanting to destroy the other.

You need leadership to win a war.

Accepting someone as a leader is not “worship.”


Exactly.

Supporting someone does NOT equate to *worshipping* them.

Precisely.

Voting platform and not personality is the issue, but others like to conflate voting platform for someone’s opinion of the person.

Elections are NOT supposed to be popularity contests.

The Lord does perfect things through the actions of imperfect men, and we are all blessed by this grace.

As if there are any other kind of people for God to use.

Could there better men than Trump?

Sure. But where are they?

Only the democrats who literally worshiped Obama could believe Trump is worshiped. This is a fake Christian gasliting real Christians.

I remember when the Left worshiped Obama. They made songs and dances for him. Children in schools worshiped him.

It was sickening
