Bishop Budde wasn’t really preaching to Trump; she was preaching to us. She wasn’t asking Trump to choose mercy and empathy over infliction of suffering. She knows he made his choice long ago. She’s offering that choice to us. She’s asking us to choose the gospel of Jesus over the cult of Trump.

Jesus’ aim was not to start a new religion. You can’t build an institution on stories about flowers and birds and yeast and sheep. That’s why the church elevates Paul, with his lists of who’s in and who’s out.

“What you win them with is what you win them to.” If your church attracts people with light and sound systems and professional musicians, breakfast with Santa, Trunk-or-Treat and camps and youth group trips, don’t be surprised when members aren’t interested in actually following Jesus.
