Even John Piper Recognizes the Hypocrisy of the American Evangelicals
John Piper today laid out his thoughts on how he is going to vote. He did not explicitly state who he was going to vote for. But, you can easily see where he is leaning. May I add I disagree with much of what he says. Nevertheless, I was struck by the denunciation of the willingness of a majority of White evangelicals to so easily dismiss Trump's own unrepented sins. Piper recognizes the caste system that the American church has today for viewing some sins as worse than others, when truth be told, they are all equal in God's eyes.
Actually, this is a long-overdue article attempting to explain why I remain baffled that so many Christians consider the sins of unrepentant sexual immorality (porneia), unrepentant boastfulness (alazoneia), unrepentant vulgarity (aischrologia), unrepentant factiousness (dichostasiai), and the like, to be only toxic for our nation, while policies that endorse baby-killing, sex-switching, freedom-limiting, and socialistic overreach are viewed as deadly.
Forgiveness through Christ is always possible where there is repentance and childlike trust in Jesus. But where humble repentance is absent, the sins condemn
If for nothing else, the last four years of Trump's presidency have revealed how sick the Christian church in America is today!
