Today on the Conservative Christian Movement podcast, I'll discuss President Trump ordained by God. I'll talk about the mid-term election, the 116th Congress which is in full and talk about why DC is so blue. I'll unpack the abortion drama spreading across the nation like wildfire and continue calling out the insanity that is liberalism in America

The verse of the day:
Romans 13:1 (NIV) Courtesy of Bible Gateway
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
You and I are subject to governing authorities. There is no question about that. The gulf between conservative and liberal thought these days is wider than ever. In Episode 5 (Link below) I talked about the meat grinder called politics. It's a wonder any Christian would want to serve in such a bitter world.
President Trump is Ordained by God
These days Liberals are so far left, blinded by desire to rid this nation of a president, no individual outside their circle can say nothing correctly. If the president says the sky is blue, they would disagree. Take what Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an interview with CBN.
"I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that He wanted Donald Trump to become president."
USA Today wasted no time with the rhetoric train, bashing her for such a wild statement. From our verse of the day, God puts people in places of authority for His purposes, not ours. We don't always understand why but we have to live with it. When Obama won his first term, I was saddened. Then his second win, I might as well have been devastated. But as I have mentioned before, losses in politics are opportunities to play the game differently.
Yes, I agree with Sarah's assessment. President Trump is the one God chose in 2016. After all, the alternative was worse than Obama (my opinion). USA Today calls out Christians for running to this verse when it serves a purpose. I'm using it because for one thing, the Word of God is infallible, it is alive today as yesterday and we gain from it what God wants us to when we read it. You might get a different message from the word than I do from the same scripture. It's amazing that way.
Obama's presidency was an unmitigated disaster for our standing in the world; not exactly a failure in the minds of the left. President Trump has been willing to un-ring those bells.
Is the president perfect? No… Nor was David who was clearly chosen by God to lead Israel at a young age. Are we giving him a pass on his transgressions? Maybe, but he is president and deserves at least a measure of respect for it. Obama got that much in spite of "knowing" he was flat wrong.
What we can see here, is no matter what you say, if you say it with a Christian tone, you'll get crucified for it. But why? Better yet, what can YOU do about it?
Charisma News actually put some dimensions around all the things (and people) liberals hate. It's a substantial list but you can't add everything they hate to a list. It just wouldn't be feasible. The Constitution, Freedom, Israel,
