Gary Bauer: Mysterious Ways

As we all know, the Bible is the story of redemption. It is also the story of God working in mysterious ways through incredibly flawed men and women to advance the Kingdom.


I hope I don't have to remind anyone of the actual behavior of many biblical heroes. They were, for the most part, complicated people redeemed by God's grace and the blood of Jesus Christ.


So, Donald Trump, imperfect as we all are, ended the atrocity of Roe v. Wade with his Supreme Court nominees.


Conservative legal scholars say his appointments put religious liberty in its strongest constitutional position in the last 50 years. Trump went through three brutal confirmation battles to preserve that liberty.


To the chagrin of those who aren't happy unless America is at war 24/7, Trump regularly speaks about peace. "Blessed are the peacemakers."


Donald Trump had more Christians come to the White House to give him advice and counsel and literally lay hands on him in prayer than any other president in our history.


The Bible teaches that when Christ returns, He will return to the earthly city of Jerusalem. Donald Trump followed the biblical injunction to honor Jerusalem and protect the covenant people, the Jews.


Leftist politicians use religion to support abortion.


The left regularly uses the Bible to support big government socialism that steals from one man to give to another. If you listen to leading religious-left figures, you'd think Jesus was a socialist Palestinian refugee.


The same people telling us that it's a mockery for Trump to embrace a Bible verse tell us every day that we can't secure our borders because Jesus loves illegal aliens. Using that reasoning, He apparently does not love the rule of law or taxpayers.
