While its almost an insult to preface such a wonderful speech, before someone takes the hook and pulls me off stage, let me get to the point.
As Christians we deal with politics. Some of it affects us, some of it is pie in the sky, dealing with things far out of our reach.
Its my opinion Trump, while seemingly muted or with disaffection, spoke the best he has ever spoken. I would suggest it was the best speech anyone has given in 40 years, summing up the differences in politics around the world and the consequences of different political styles.
As a Christian, what does this speech mean to me? Are there some principles I should grasp? What is he saying, what is Christ saying? Are there christian principles we can get from this speech? Where are they found in the bible? How do they inform my actions, my voting, my relationship with God and others.
I think it was interesting how the cameras picked up on the emotions of countries. Obviously the camera crew had the speech ahead of time and cued the up camera angles for those moments. But beyond the many dynamics going on, I would love to hear what christian principles or scriptures came to mind when you heard his speech. And did you think Christ was involved in this speech and how? Were there teaching moments and what where they? Leaving aside the messenger, because it’s likely someone else wrote it, How did the speech speak to you?
