The author needs to read the bible. Jesus said he that tries to save his life will lose it. Christ said he will build His church and that the gates of Hell won't prevail. it's not our job to work for self-preservation. Our job is to believe on the name of Jesus, preach the gospel and to love one another. And that love may lead to persecution and death.
Persecution is coming to the USA regardless of the next election.
This kind of doctrine has led to an institutionalist view of Christianity. Whatever else you do, preserve the institution.
The biblical view is to make hay while the sun shines, because sunny weather will not be continuous — and yet there is always a guarantee that it will be sufficient because Jesus, by virtue of keeping His promise, won’t permit the church to go extinct.
If an Age of Trump comes, Christendom would be exceeding wise to use this also as an age of evangelism, rather than as an age of lolling back and relaxing.
It’s still our duty to protect, as we can, our fellow Christians.
We may not be of the world, but we are in it. God doesn’t like suicide, either, and failing to do our best to get the best man in is the equivalent.
Wow. Haven’t seen such a display of proof-texting and Scripture-torturing in quite awhile.
