Christians and Trump

Pastor Bill Watson of the Church of God International delivered a sermon on August 15 entitled “Let Your Voice Be Heard.” https://www.cgi.org/weeklysermons?sapurl=LytxNWdtL2xiL21pLytoNXo3NTc1P2VtYmVkPXRydWU=

In his sermon, Mr. Watson made clear who he thinks his congregation should be voting for in November. He said:

Brethren, I’m sounding an alarm. I don’t know whether you would agree with this or not…but I personally believe…we are one election away from losing this country very severely. And, consequently, all I’m saying is we have the power - because there is power in the people’s vote, if indeed you should be so inclined, to do that - because frankly ‘all hands on deck.’ I don’t know how you think about voting…but I will tell you this: you have a voice in our system…And I have just shared with you over the last two weeks what is really going on with this guy <name unintelligible> and his cultural Marxism - and tacticians like Saul Alinsky, who are implementing as field lieutenants, through his book, even while he’s dead - cause he died in 72…And I’ll say this: God will not bless a nation beyond its own vote. We have the record: “Israel you want a king? Take it. I’m not going to cast the tribes out of the country - that was your job to do - to hold the line, to teach your children, to save and to preserve your families, to get back to God”…Israel failed to do it, and what happened to them? They failed as a nation. They went into captivity…And guess what, if we don’t have ‘all hands on deck,’ there’s going to be a lot of good people that are going to have to unnecessarily suffer too. So, what’s my message brethren? My message is very simple: Remember Joshua and Caleb and their courage. Don’t be like the other eleven…learn to appreciate their resolve and their courage. Don’t underestimate the need for resolve and courage. I could spend hours up here showing you even more detail of the tactics that have been used to fool us, to change us, and to melt us down and compromise us…So remember…that God is in your life and by what he’s shown you…And you see God’s done a lot for you – done a lot for me…God’s been good, brethren, good to all of us here in this land of Manasseh. And it’s really important that all of us understand that we’ve got to preserve this country, and we’ve got to act! God is not going to do it for us…Don’t be afraid brethren to make a stand - when making a stand you know is right. You have a choice in the next three months coming up to make a choice for nationalism and populism, if you’re a voter…You have a choice to choose: Are you going to vote nationalistic - a country with borders – policy, policy, policy! OR Are you going to vote for a socialistic government, open borders, reengage into the Globalist agenda…and vote for the socialist party.

This is a good example of the way Christians justify their support for a man who is morally bankrupt.
