Christian Broadcast News has suggested President Donald Trumps cabinet is the most evangelical cabinet in history even more than born again Christian George W. Bush.
These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture, said Capitol Ministries president and founder Ralph Drollinger. According to CBN, the majority of the cabinet officials attend a frequent Bible study class, that is the first of its kind in at least 100 years.
He has long maintained that changing the hearts of lawmakers to see a Christian worldview could guide them to making good policies. While he doesnt lobby on behalf of peace or advocate policies that would fit a Jesus-like agenda, he has started a Bible study group in 40 state capitols as well as foreign capitols. He teaches weekly Bible study classes for the U.S. House and Senate and now leads a group of nearly all of Trumps cabinet officials.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Education Secretary Betsy Devos, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and CIA Director Mike Pompeo are all regular attendees.

(14,971 posts)Kevin Kruse? He wrote that after the New Deal was passed, business executives thought the best way to counter it was by buying up ministers and having them preach this crap rather than the social gospel. There's nothing christian about evangelicals. They're opportunists and nothing more.

(58,785 posts)Serving God by serving business. It is safe to say that God is a Capitalist, Drollinger once wrote, not a Communist.
"Business" needs to be awfully careful playing with this fire they can't control. Some of the worst of these clever people are Christian reconstructionists/dominionists themselves, of course, but that doesn't mean they'd get what they thought they wanted, much less the rest of "business."

The politicians that speak loudest about being Christians are usually charlatans and frauds.

What was that situation where Trump had to ask the pope if he was Christian. Anyone remember that?
A friend of mine knew Jerry Falwell, who is now deceased. The stories he told me about how incredibly corrupt he was, all the while presenting a persona of a person who has a faith...

(646 posts)and who believe that Trump is the man who can bring it on. They believe the final war of Armegeddon will surely come. And they want this war. I fear they are "teaching" Trump to literally be the instrument of our destruction. And I fear that the idea of it could very well appeal him.

(460 posts)can anyone describe Dumpy as a "good Christian"? He has not shown one ounce of respect for religion. His words and his behavior speak for themselves.
If a Democrat had done half as much, they'd be calling him or her the Anti-Christ.
