Response To Why Trump Would Have Non-Christians In His Administration

 



America First.Win News expressed disappointment that there are non-Christians in the Trump administration after Trump had won the majority of the Christian vote in the 2024 election. [1]
 
While granted that there are some members of Trump’s administration that do not follow Christ, the vast majority profess to do so whereas in the previous Biden administration, there were hardly any professing Christians.  The Trump administration, for the most part, has been very friendly towards the Christian community and is overall committed to defending the Constitutional rights of Christians and to demonstrate that to be the case, Trump did something that he never did in his first term and that was the creation of an anti-Christian bias team [2] designed to track reported cases of persecution against Christians by our government.
 
The Biden administration on the other hand, was anything but friendly towards the Christian community, would condemn Bible-believing Christians for refusing to affirm ungodly and sinful behavior, would arrest pro-lifers for praying outside abortion clinics, and would denigrate important Christian observances with perversion.  The Biden creature hardly ever acknowledged the authority of God whereas Trump, for all his faults, has acknowledged and given reverence to Almighty God on a regular basis.  The Trump administration would be considered far more devout towards the Creator of Heaven and earth than either the Obama and Biden administrations ever were.
 
Would America First.Win News and Steven Andrew rather have had Kamala the Harlot as the President and the anti-Christ party in control of the entire government?
 
Granted that Trump and his administration may not be perfect and may not do everything that we think that they should but the nation is on a better course with Trump in office than under the Biden administration, but the U.S. government, regardless of who controls it, cannot legislate theology because we live in a Constitutional republic in which is guaranteed the freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion to people of all respective faiths who reside here and in which governing officials are not subjected to a religious test.
 
The government is simply the end result of what a people become.  Ungodly governments arise from an ungodly people and godly governments can only arise from a godly people.  The more followers of Christ there are in a nation, the more Christians we will find in the halls of government, but the less Christian a people and nation are, the less Christian their government will be and so if we want a godly government, we must have a godly people. 

It is not enough to attack the symptoms.  We have to attack the source of those symptoms which is not political but spiritual.  I believe that America First.Win and Steven Andrew understand this but what they need to be doing is winning as many souls over to Christ as they can and address the barriers that are blinding people to the truth of the Gospel who might otherwise embrace it; of which there are many which are philosophical, intellectual, theological, and religious.
 
They also need to address all of the lies and misrepresentations concerning the faith and dedicate themselves to restoring faith in the authority of the scriptures by which the Gospel is delivered.  There have been so many attacks against the authority of scripture that most of our religious leaders have either been ill-equipped or unwilling to address.  It is not enough to confront the darkness and corruption within the political realm but it must also be confronted within the Church which is sadly permeated with every kind of false doctrine, heresy, and ungodliness that there is and instead of representing the light of the world which is Christ, much of the Church has blended itself with the world and instead of calling the world to conform to Christ, many professors of the faith are conforming to the ways of the world and instead of placing their faith in God alone, many who claim to call upon the name of Christ are placing their faith in the things, counsel, and wisdom of this world, and instead of looking forward to the better world to come when they should be setting themselves apart from the world, conforming themselves to the ways of Christ instead of the ways of this world, placing more faith and trust in God than in the things of this world, and relying more upon the counsel and authority of scripture than on the counsels and wisdom of this world which runs contrary to the counsels and wisdom of God.
 
When we read the Gospels, interestingly, Jesus did not direct His condemnation and criticisms to the pagan Roman occupiers of His day, but it was primarily towards the religious leaders of His day.  They were condemned for hypocrisy, pride, self-righteousness, greed, civic corruption, putting their man-made traditions above the law of God, placing their trust in outward performance to gain the favor of God rather than in His grace and mercy, spiritual tyranny, and keeping men out of the Kingdom of God who would have otherwise come to repentance and just as it was with the Pharisees, so it is with many of those who profess to follow Christ for though they may honor Him with their mouths, their hearts and minds are far from Him.  They may appear godly on Sundays within the four walls of their respective congregations but when they leave their respective fellowships, they live and act no different than the unbeliever, sin and false doctrine are harbored and tolerated amongst professing saints when such things need to be purged from the ranks of the saints and if necessary, those who persist in living in sin and in the preaching of heresies and false doctrines; both of which the Apostles had fought so hard against in order to keep the body of Christ a credible representative on His behalf and to preserve the pure doctrine and Gospel of the Church (Mt. 18:15-17, 1 Cor. 5:1-8, 11, 13, Titus 2:10, 13, Mt. 7:15-20, Acts 20:28-31, 2 Cor. 11:3-4, 12-15, Gal. 1:6-9, 1 Tim. 1:19-20, 4:1-3, 7, 5:22, 6:3-5, 20-21, 2 Tim. 2:16-18, 23, Titus 1:10-16, 2:11, 2 Pet. 2, 3:15-16, 1 Jn. 4:1-3, Jude) but after the passing of the Apostolic generations, there then began a sad and gradual departure from that pure doctrine and Gospel once delivered to the saints by Christ, the Apostles, and the scriptures which foretold the coming of Christ and to which our Lord and His Apostles appealed in defense of the message they preached.
 
That is not to say that there have not been godly men and women in their own rite who have sought to walk in the truth delivered to them by the testimony of the Apostles and the instruction, accounts, and prophecies of scripture written down by men from various walks of life under the direction and inspiration of the Holy Spirit; there have been many, and there have been many attempts to bring the Church back to the doctrinal purity of the first century; the most effective attempt being the reformation and though the reformation was not successful in bringing the entire Church back to doctrinal purity, they were at least successful in setting that precedent in translating into the tongue and language of the people the scriptures which a corrupt and wicked elite class of clergy had withheld from them so that the people could read and understand the scriptures for themselves and so that the scriptures, before the people, could then be their own interpreter and present their own rendering before the reader and it was when the people were able to read the scriptures for themselves that they then could search the scriptures to see whether what was being preached and taught to them by their clergy was of God or man but rather than maintain and build upon that precedent that was set, corruption within the body of Christ has only gotten worse, false doctrines and heresies have only continued to spread like a disease, complacency, apathy, laziness, cowardice, and biblical illiteracy have infested the ranks of the professing faithful, and our church pews are being filled with multitudes of unsaved and unregenerated souls.
 
We hear so much about the love of God but little about the fear of God.
So much is preach about Heaven, but hardly about Hell.
We may hear much about loving one another, but how often are we instructed on what love really is and how we should love one another?
Do we really know what it is to love God?
Do we really know what it is to honor Him?
Do we really know what it is to trust in Him?
And how often do we ever hear instruction on godly and righteous living?
How often are parishiners and congregants admonished to read and study the scriptures for themselves daily?
How often are we told to watch out for false teachers and heretics?
Where is accountability within the body of Christ today?
And how many times do we ever hear the preachers call any unsaved amongst their congregants to repentance?
 
When we hear within the Church that the scriptures are outdated and not relevant for our time,
When we are taught that the Bible is subject to interpretation rather than being its own interpreter and that it doesn’t really mean what it says,
When we are told things which God has called sinful is permissible,
When hardly anyone is well-versed in the scriptures,
When Pastors and others of authority and influence within the body of Christ are unable to defend the faith they preach against intellectual, philosophical, theological, and doctrinal challenges,
When the faith of those once professing to follow Christ is being shaken and overthrown by challenges, questions, and arguments to which they have no answer,
When that which is called sin by God is tolerated and even celebrated,
When professing followers of Christ continue to believe in things contrary to the Word of God,
When the teachings and instruction of scripture are not regarded as sufficient for all that pertains to this present life,
When doctrine is regarded as unimportant,
When the grace of God is perverted into a license and justification to live as sinfully and as wickedly as one wishes,
When we fear men more than we fear God,
When we value the favor of men more than that of God,
When we place more faith in the things of this life than in God,
When we place more hope in the things of this present world than in the new and better world to come,
And when we are being told that there are other ways to Heaven beside Jesus, then things within the Church need to change.
 
Before there can be the revival and Great Awakening that many within the body of Christ long for, there has to first be a reformation within the Church and the reformation within the Church that needs to take place is a reformation that restores confidence in the sufficiency and authority of scripture,
That returns us to godly and righteous living,
That brings us back to honoring God in all that we do,
That instills in us not just the love God, but also the fear of God and a love for God greater than a love for anything else and a fear of God greater than that of man,
That causes us to value the favor of God more than the favor of God,
That calls the unsaved and unconverted to repentance in Christ,
That does not misuse the grace of God as a license and justification to engage in sinful, ungodly, and evil practices,
That emphasizes the importance of doctrinal purity,
That equips the saints with the ability to provide a sound and reasoned and rational based defense for the faith they profess,
And that declares Jesus to be the only way to salvation.
 
When that happens within the body of Christ, then we may very well have the Great Awakening that we have all longed for because we will be better able to affect our culture for Christ and doing so, we will then be able to lead the nation we love in a spiritual transformation for the better that will transform households, neighborhoods, communities, the way business is conducted, the way the private sector is run, how students are educated, how news is reported, what entertainment is produced, and finally our politics and government.
 
Now am I saying that we do not call out our leaders when they are found promoting and doing that which is evil in the sight of the Lord and when they renege on their campaign promises and that we do not expose acts of evil, corruption, and ungodliness within our government?
 
No, I am NOT saying that.  There is a time when that must be done but we must understand that the corruption, evil, and ungodliness that we witness within our civic leadership are but mere symptoms of a much greater problem which, as I mentioned much earlier in this post is not political.  It is a spiritual problem and it is a problem that is inherent in all people and as a consequence, we bring that spiritual problem everywhere we go and into everything we do and that includes our politics and it is a spiritual problem that goes all the way back to our very first ancestors, Adam and Eve who were the first man and woman that God had created and when He had first created man, He had given Adam and Eve a world in which there was no death, suffering, decay, pain, nor any grief or misery of any sort but a world filled with light, life, contentment, and peace with perfect harmony between God, man, and nature and there existed between God and man a relationship unhindered and a fellowship uninterrupted.
 
Adam and Eve were given dominion over the entire earth (Gen. 1:26) but were forbidden one thing and that was a certain fruit from a tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil having been warned that in the day they that fruit, they would surely die. (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3)
 
But instead of heeding of that warning, they had committed that fateful act of disobedience that would to this very day change the very world that God had made to be good into a world filled with evil, darkness, death, decay, suffering, hardship, grief, and sorrow of every kind and varying degrees and ate of that forbidden fruit having been led to believe by a lying spirit who came to them in the form of a serpent who told them that they would not surely die if they were to eat of that fruit but that they would receive wisdom and become more like God (Gen. 3:4-5) and when they had eaten of that fruit, the only revelation that they received was the shame that came upon their nakedness (Gen. 3:7) and instead of gaining more power, they were reduced to a status inferior to the one in which they were made, and the sentence of death of which they were warned was pronounced upon them and to which they eventually succumbed. (Gen. 3:19)
 
And the lying spirit who had come to them in the form of a serpent and caused them to commit that fateful act of disobedience had succeeded in taking dominion on the earth that he could not succeed in taking in Heaven for before he crept into the newly created world and brought evil into it, he had once served as a covering cherub at the throne of God until he was lifted up in pride which caused him to try and make himself equal with God and as a consequence, this certain angel and all who sided with him, were cast from their positions and offices in Heaven (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was in that day that this angel called Lucifer became known as Satan and it was the very lie that he told which caused Adam and Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit that was the first lie ever known which made him the father of lies (Jn. 8:44) and not only was he in that day made the father of lies, but that lie that he told also made him a murderer (v. 44) because it was when Adam and Eve had eaten of that forbidden fruit that sin had entered into them and when sin had entered into them, the sentence of death came upon them but the sentence of death did not stop with Adam and Eve, but the sin that entered into them when they ate of that forbidden fruit was then passed down to the rest of mankind (Rom. 5:12) for since we are all descended from Adam and Eve, we have also inherited from them the sin that entered into them and the sin that we have inherited from them and are born into is not defined by just our outward acts nor even the words that we speak, but it is described as the corrupted condition of our very nature that has turned us into what God never intended for us to be and causes us to do those things that God never intended for us to do which is why it is written that we are not defiled by that which is from without but by that which is from within (Mt. 15:11, 17-20) and it is the defilement from within that influences not just what we say and do, but also our very thoughts, motives, and attitudes of the heart and it is that inward defilement that brings death to us because, as it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) and because we all sin, we all die, but the effects of sin and the eating of that forbidden fruit still is not confined to mankind, but because of sin, creation itself is subjected to a curse and because of the curse brought upon it by way of man’s sin, the creation groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) which is why this world is filled with death, decay, suffering, evil, grief, sorrow, misery, and hardships of all kinds and varying degrees and severities but it gets even worse as the disobedience of Adam and Eve gave Satan justification to claim lordship over the earth (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) thereby diminishing the dominion that was once given to man but that is still not the worst of it because the sin into which we are born causes us to be estranged from our Creator with whom we would otherwise have an unhindered relationship and fellowship because that which is without sin cannot allow into His direct presence that which is in sin nor can He allow into His Kingdom which is undefiled by sin that which is sinful lest Heaven should become defiled as the earth has become defiled.
 
No matter what we do or where we go, our inherently corrupt nature is with us everywhere we go and we bring it in to everything that we do and all people give into that nature to a certain extent; it is just that some give into that nature to greater extents than do others but sin, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is enough to prevent us entry into Heaven and since we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) we cannot by our own merit enter into Heaven because no matter what we attempt to do to earn our way into Heaven, it cannot be done because of sin ever present within us but God is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) because our Creator is a God of love and mercy, not taking pleasure in judgment or punishment but in bestowing His goodness upon all who are willing to receive and in His goodness, love, and mercy, the Almighty has provided redemption on our behalf in a man called Jesus Christ who is not only a man, but God in the flesh (Jn. 1:14) in the form of a man who, being God, was without sin (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) and in being without sin, was that perfect sacrifice needed to take away the sins of the world (Heb. 7:26-27) which He did by the shedding of His blood on the cross upon which He was crucified and, after having by His death purchased redemption on our behalf, was raised again from the dead for our justification (Rom. 4:25) so that we, by our faith in Him for the forgiveness of sins and the redemption of our souls, may be justified in Him if we will but call upon His name for salvation (Rom. 10:13) in sincere faith and repentance and it is by calling upon the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins that we are reconciled to our Creator (2 Cor. 5:18) and with the cleansing of our souls from sin and reconciliation to our Creator comes an inward transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) and it is this inward cleansing of the soul and this regeneration which cause all who are willing to call upon Christ for it, submit to it, and embrace it to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven, (Mt. 6:33)
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty, (Jn. 14:6) no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, (Mt. 6:25-33) recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
And it is that very transformation that changes the way that households are run, how people treat one another, how education is taught, how the private sector is operated, how news and information are reported, the nature of the entertainment that is produced, and finally how our politics are conducted and the kind of government to which we are subject.
 
And we look forward to the day that, just as our souls have been redeemed and delivered from eternal damnation, when we shall also be delivered from bodily death when that which is sinful is made sinless and that which is corruptible is transformed into that which is incorruptible (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) for wherein dwells no sin there is no death and finally, creation itself will also be liberated from the curse that has come upon it because of sin, when Satan who is the adversary of our souls and is that thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10) is given his final sentence and cast into eternal damnation along with all who have sided with him (Rev. 20:10-15) and after that, the creation will then be made anew, and it will be a creation in which there will dwell no death, no decay, no evil, no darkness, no grief, no sorrow, and no misery, and no hardship, but only light, life, happiness, peace, contentment, and joy before the Lord God Almighty for all eternity. (Rev. 21-22)
 
If you want to be an agent of change for the better in this life and want to be sure that you will be granted entry into the Kingdom of God, then I urge you reader, if you have done so already, to call upon the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.  It is just a simple prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
