I guess most believers can finish that sentence!!! But, I wonder if a guy named Mark Galli remembers those words?
Years ago, I used to read a magazine called "Christianity Today", which was one of the few tabloids that could be counted on to express the Evangelical view well, in the modern society. As a newly "Born Again" Christian, it was crucial for me to understand how I should shape my own opinions, in the midst of an overwhelmingly sin-obsessed world!!! Once I had read the Bible through, a few times, and begun to memorize a few scriptures, like the one atop this post, and learned how to consistently apply them to my own life, I gradually forgot about reading "Christianity Today", as I intentionally decided to stop reading "Time", and "Newsweek", because I didn't approve of their political bias, which was so blatantly obvious.
Perhaps I am partly to blame for the gross desertion of that magazine's editorial perspective, because I did not continue to support it financially (not intentionally, but simply because it was no longer important to me!!! ) I reached a point where I knew my own Biblical perspective, consistent with the Bible, and did not need extra-Biblical sources to shape my opinions!!! Perhaps "Christianity Today" has fallen on hard financial times, because of the same attitude of other Christians approaching it from the same perspective; it was useful initially, but, less so as I matured in the Lord!!!
At any rate, whether the magazine hired less sincere writers as their profits declined, or whether true-believing writers simply began to question their faith, what we have today is no longer a magazine that represents the Biblical perspective of the Evangelical community!!! It is truly a shame that someone named Mark Galli, the magazine's editor-in -chief, can make such an idiotic statement in the magazine, like he did, when he wrote that President Trump should be removed from office, after being impeached!!!
I am not particularly enamored by the President's personality! I hope he is a "Born Again" Christian, but it is not up to me to judge him, whether he is, or is not!!! That's between himself and the Lord!!! But, as long as he behaves himself morally while in office, and most importantly, as long as he continues to support issues that are extremely important to the Evangelical Christian community, and continues to listen to the many Christian counselors he has surrounded himself with, I will continue to support him, regardless of the slander that others dish out to him!!! When he stops all this, I will also stop supporting him! But I will not call for his Impeachment, unless it is clear that he has committed an Impeachable offense, which he has not been charged with, yet, to any provable degree!!! When he does, I will be one of the first to admit it, and to call for his resignation (like Nixon), before threatening him with Impeachment!!
The Democrats should have approached him in this manner, but their hatred of him is not because he has committed an Impeachable offense, but because he is determined to undo the "Deep State" in the federal bureaucracy, which they have worked so hard to create, subtly, for so long!!! They want to drive us into the European "One-World" Socialist system of government, and Trump is trying to defeat their efforts to do so!!! To them, this is the worst form of treason, though the Constitution calls what they are doing to be the real treason!!!
As for Mr. Galli, he has been reputed to be leaving his job at "Christianity Today" in early January, of next year!!! I can only wonder if he is being forced out, because of his un-Biblical perspective, and made his statement as a disgruntled employee who wished to damage the magazine's reputation, or is he simply trying to demonstrate that he is really anti-Trump, to neutralize any reluctance to hire him, for another position with a liberal magazine, or newspaper, at a fat salary!!!
Again, I say, "What does it profit...!!!"
