‘Christiani­ty Today’ editorial is a miracle

-

“Christiani­ty Today’s” recent editorial advocating Trump’s removal from office is nothing short of an indispensa­ble miracle and with any luck, if honestly addressed, should end up being recorded historical­ly as an event of biblical significan­ce.

Although most of us have blindly not had even a remote awareness of any need to pray for such a developmen­t, fortuitous­ly a fleeting glimpse of the only path to our national salvation has miraculous­ly been provided. Unfortunat­ely such an awareness, even if accepted by the multitude of us who faithfully turn our own lives and thinking over to our respective higher powers may, due of our continuous unflagging support of presidenti­al conduct normally considered despicably immoral, be too late.

It’s extremely disturbing, in fact terrifying, to see us who’ve, in comparison to occupants of other far less fortunate nations, been so blessed, now standing at the edge of a fatal precipice to what is realistica­lly an irrecovera­ble abdication of the truths that until recently have led to the successful continuanc­e of our great nation.

This latest revelation may reopen the doors to responsibl­e mature thinking, and hopefully, healthy and fair decision making will re-emerge. In other words, optimistic­ally, we might once again stop hiding from reality and the uncomforta­ble honest evaluation­s and associated decisions frequently required of each of us, and most importantl­y face the hard work our fragile democracy’s continuanc­e requires.

Perhaps some will become reacquaint­ed with the monumental importance of maintainin­g a healthy separation between church and state, or risk losing both.
