I have lots of respect for Albert Mohler and he sums up well here the American election.

Also worth reading is this week's scathing Christianity Today editorial: http://bit.ly/2dO8jQt
- Dominic Steele
It includes the quote:
"The revelations of the past week of his vile and crude boasting about s*xual conquest—indeed, s*xual assault—might have been shocking, but they should have surprised no one.
"Indeed, there is hardly any public person in America today who has more exemplified the “earthly nature” (“flesh” in the King James and the literal Greek) that Paul urges the Colossians to shed: “s*xual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry” (3:5). This is an incredibly apt summary of Trump’s life to date. Idolatry, greed, and s*xual immorality are intertwined in individual lives and whole societies. Sexuality is designed to be properly ordered within marriage, a relationship marked by covenant faithfulness and profound self-giving and sacrifice. To indulge in s*xual immorality is to make oneself and one’s desires an idol. That Trump has been, his whole adult life, an idolater of this sort, and a singularly unrepentant one, should have been clear to everyone.
"And therefore it is completely consistent that Trump is an idolater in many other ways. He has given no evidence of humility or dependence on others, let alone on God his Maker and Judge. He wantonly celebrates strongmen and takes every opportunity to humiliate and demean the vulnerable. He shows no curiosity or capacity to learn. He is, in short, the very embodiment of what the Bible calls a fool."
On October 11, 2016 R. Albert Mohler Jr. joined Don Lemon and Charmaine Yoest to discuss evangelicals and the 2016 presidential election.
