A deep-fake image of a kneeling Donald Trump showed up in my Facebook feed recently. That image and the accompanying caption prompted this prayer:
Dear Lord, bring this godless man to his knees, expose his lies, and prevent him from causing more harm to the United States and the world.
Bring to their senses the so-called Evangelicals, who have turned for their deliverance to a "splintered reed of a staff, which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it," who have abandoned the pursuit of righteousness, justice and the love of God in exchange for political power, and who have forgotten that the way of Jesus is the way of the cross.
Lord have mercy.
Amen.
I touched on the reasons for my profound dismay over Evangelical Christian support for Donald Trump here. For more detail, see this excellent post by Chris Gehrz: "Is History Rhyming?"
