Former
6 time All Star, Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling, said he hasn’t been
swayed against Trump by any of his controversial comments:
“Nothing he said got four people
killed in Benghazi…I think she’s (Clinton) the
epitome of just a very bad, bad, evil human being.”
By: Dr. James Dobson
Is Trump good for America? Let me take a minute for those
that wonder and give some of my thoughts.
When I first heard that Trump (DT) was entering the race
last year, I told my wife that perhaps it was a good thing for the party and
America. I knew that he was not a "saint," but I thought that he
would be like a bull in a china shop. He is a disrupt-er and I believe America
could use a fresh thinker especially in the political arena. I didn't think he
would get the nomination, but that he would shake up politics as usual. I was
correct on the shaking up!
Lance Wallnau likens him to a biblical Cyrus. Someone who
is dynamically used of God even though not perceived by many as a God follower.
God has used many people in history that I would probably not like or agree
with. I’m not sure I would have liked all the disciples, or David, or Moses.
Somehow, God did not seem compelled to consult with me on His choices!
I have always admired
Winston Churchill. He is seen as one of the greatest national leaders
in the 20th century. Last year, I had the privilege of going through the War
Museum in London. Winston is a key feature. His life is controversial. He was not always celebrated as a great
leader. He was a bombastic, cigar smoking, at times crude, even misogynistic
leader. It is alleged that he told off color stories to his children before
bedtime! A woman once told him he was disgustingly drunk. His response was
"My dear, you are disgustingly ugly, but tomorrow I shall be
sober and you will still be ugly!"
There are many websites that discuss the outlandish
comments and activities of this great world leader. But, he had exactly what
was needed to stop Hitler at the Channel, to rouse a nation to never give up
and to partner with America to find final victory in Europe. You probably
wouldn't want him as your pastor, maybe not even your father, but he was the
right leader for that moment in England's history. Such a brazen man that would
go up to the roof of his quarters in central London and smoke cigars as
Hitler’s air force bombed all around him. I’m not sure I would have voted for
him.... but he was the right man!
I think it would be awesome to have a righteous leader,
one that understood the intricacies of the economy, health care, defense,
immigration, with great sensitivity to religious institutions, a heart for the
poor, a vision for the future. If that leader was a praying person, formidable
in the word of God and loved the local church, I would rejoice! I do not think
that is the choice we will have in November.
Instead....we will look for someone who is imperfect, yet
will fit the times we are living in. Particularly, that ‘whoever’ we vote for, will be someone who might
possibly have the opportunity to appoint up to three Supreme Court justices. That
could radically shape our culture in America for the next 30 years. The America
of our grandchildren could be very different....and that may not be good. We
cannot stand on the sidelines. A
non-vote is a passive vote for a direction we may very well regret.
So...is Donald Trump
good for America? I honestly believe that he has been already. He has shaken
the political system. Do his comments offend me? At times! Do I agree
with all he says? Not at all! But could he be a “Cyrus” being raised up by God
to preserve America? Nobody liked Gen. Patton, but he sure WAS an instrument of
the United States for the right things.
This I know. I will vote for the best chance for America.
I will pray for our leaders as I have already. In the end - God will continue
to be my source and my hope. I do believe that God has had a hand in America's
history. I hope and pray that He will also have a saving hand in America’s
future.
I shudder when I think
of the caliber of HILLARY’S APPOINTEES.
GOD, help us.
