I read the quote above and immediately thought about pop tarts. Unlike the picture on the left, there was practically nothing inside. Very little filling compared to the dough. Not unlike a new Christian. Or even an “old” Christian who was satisfied with the initial “committing their life to Jesus” – and then does nothing after that. Someone who doesn’t allow the Holy Spirit to fill them and guide their lives.
So here’s my question. For a Christian, should the ends justify the means with Donald Trump? Notice, I wrote should, not do. Truth be told, for many Christians, Trump’s ends do justify the means. But should they?
Never will I leave you or forsake you. I suppose pretty much every Christians knows that line. But do we believe God will never forsake us and do we live like we believe it?

Do you remember? A leper asks Jesus if He's willing to heal him. Jesus says He's willing. Heals the man. Commands the guy not to tell anyone. And then sends him off to see a Jewish priest! Why?
