As things stand, I truly believe that four more years of Donald Trump would have led to greater spiritual complacency and even triumphalism, not to mention the vulgarizing of our own souls.

I think the author is fine with an increase in abortions and a future of rigged elections, just so long as we longer have a "vulgar" president.

Churches in general have moved left, so they’ll love president Biden.

Sadly, they’ve lost me.

The church has always grown under persecution. That was the first thing that came to mind after reading the headline. Though I have not yet read the article.

The “Church” at least the one governed by Francis has turned remarkably left and “Reset” in its philosophy. A few priests and a handful of Bishops show a little courage but mainly they are silent and submissive. Sad!

What percentage of the church voted for this agenda - that’s the real problem. A house divided

Because we’re all going to be flocking to church and praying like never before.

I suppose with this logic, “many of us” should never want a benevolent administration in office. Let’s always vote for Globalist, Leftist, Progressives, and Commies to be in charge over us.

You’ll get your wish soon enough. Enjoy it.

I agree. Hogwash.

How does Michael Brown think America will turn from G-dless Biden and his forces? Will it not be by men and woman organized to do that and will that NOT be undoing of the laws set be by Biden and his ilk, and will that undoing not be by political action, action led by political leaders.

How is it that some “religious” people lose total sight and understanding of the connection between the practice of the living out of their religion and our freedoms???

What “Church” was this writer talking about? There are many denominations subscribing to an over-church government, and hundreds of thousands of independent autonomous churches that answer to God alone. Which one (singular)?

It’s like saying “massive amounts of sugar are actually good for diabetics.”

This is why Christians do so much better under adversity than the godless left. When they lost in 2016, they had nowhere to turn except for their rage.

When we lost in 1992, 2008, and 2020, we could turn to the Lord and seek His will and find comfort in that Paul wrote Romans 12, all the while living under emperors like Caligula and Nero.

Such bullshit. This morning my daily Bible verse app sent me Paul’s admonition from Romans, reminding me that I am required to submit to the government above me, because it exists from the will of God.

It’s a manure spreader of propaganda out there.

Rev 3:16: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

Let the spueing begin!

We didn’t lose in 2020. Theft of election is not a loss, although the theft can be seen as a loss.

RE: I suppose with this logic, “many of us” should never want a benevolent administration in office.

I don’t think that’s what the author is wishing for. If I read his point correctly, he believes that the church sometimes gets too complacent and comfortable in the status quo and weak and soft. They also depend too much on a few strong personalities to defend their values.

It will take COLLECTIVE effort of the whole body of Christ to fight the decline in morality in our culture, not just one man.

Persecution for a short while, sometimes has a way of strengthening the spirituality of the church, just like exercise, no matter how uncomfortable and streneous, strengthens the muscle.

And Paul screwed up with that statement. His lunacy on that idea has been used for 2000 years to justify earthly Monarchs, and resisting those tyrants was blasphemy. And were Germans obligated to obey Hitler? Russians to dutifully obey Stalin? Would shooting either of them be a sin?

Paul was wrong. He wasn’t Jesus. I am a Christian, not a Paulian.
