Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-148: Donald Is Not God

And to be fair, he has never claimed to be.  All he has said is that he feels that God has protected his life because He has something for him to do.  You might feel the same if a bullet took off the tip of your ear.

If I wanted to be critical, it would be of those who try to make him into something he is not.  I would rejoice if I could totally believe that Donald Trump is on board with my spiritual beliefs.  I think he’s open to them but I have not heard the keywords.  That may be just a problem with jargon and semantics.  It may be something deeper.  I am not, however, going to force him into my version of what the Bible teaches.

Fortunately, I don’t need to. I believe that he is the man God is raised up at this time to be used to try and bring revival and renewal to the United States of America, and through us to the world.  You don’t need to be a 24 karat, KJV believing Christian to qualify for that.  God has used many types of people and leaders over the years.  You have it one in the pharaohs and Nebuchadnezzars and such tyrants and despots.  God used them.  At the other end, you have the Wilberforce’s and the Wesley’s and the apostle Paul’s.  All were raised up by God for a specific purpose, and whether they acknowledge God or not, they have been His tools.

So pray to the real God that the Donald would be open to His leading.
