An Evangelical Answers the Left's Question: How Can Followers of Jesus Support Donald Trump?
Listen now
Description
Author Stephen Strang says it's hypocrisy that mainstream media on the left skewers Donald Trump's Evangelical supporters, asking the question, 'How can believers in Jesus Christ support a man known for his philandering?'  Strang, who's also the founder of Charisma Media, says, "Did we hold Lyndon Baines Johnson or John Kennedy or Bill Clinton or a bunch of other people up to that high standard? I don't think so." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, Strang, who's the author of "God And Donald Trump", and "Trump Aftershock: The President’s Seismic Impact On Faith And Culture", talks about Trump's legal woes, now that he's a convicted felon thanks to New York's District Attorney, and why Evangelicals still support him. He points out that when Trump was a New York billionaire Playboy, part of the social scene, attending Chelsea Clinton's wedding, for instance, he was the darling of the press. But when he got serious about life, protecting America's borders, joining the Republican Party, and getting serious about his faith, that's when the media turned on him. Strang is worried that many of the new Evangelicals are engaged in hero worship of Trump, but he says most of Trump's supporters are silent, wanting only the right choice for their communities and the country.

The book of Acts seems to sit benignly in the Bible, following the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It's presented almost as a travelogue of what happens to the apostles and the growing community devoted to a man named Jesus who was crucified. But Acts, if read properly, is quite...
