I am troubled by Trump. But I’m even more troubled by the Christians who defend him. Every time I hear @Franklin_Graham support Trump, I think of the words of his dad: “I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form… It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.” – Billy Graham Follow Jesus. Not Trump.












Yes, the kingdom of God is multicultural. No, this doesn’t mean every nation has to represent every culture. Hot take: Nowhere do we see the importance of ethnic diversity within nations or local churches anywhere in Scripture. Does China need more diversity? Yemen? You don’t hear people saying, “China really needs more Black people,” or “Yemen needs more Latinx communities.” America needs more ethnic diversity, but these homogenous countries don’t? Why? This assumption leads some progressives to unknowingly suggest that less whiteness is better or holier. No one's going up to the Hispanic church or the Korean church on the street corner in Plano and questioning why they don’t have more people of Norwegian descent in the pews. But if there's a predominantly white church in a predominantly white area, people show up asking, “Why don't you have more black people here?” The call for diversity is not sincere.
