100 Days of Prayer & Intercession

First 100 Days Article #3

1.31.17 Day 12 of 1st 100 Days

President Donald Trump has now appointed nine members to the White House, each of whom profess publicly to be Christians and it appears all the Muslims will be gone.

1. Vice President Mike Pence who has previously said, “My Christian faith is at the heart of who I am” and “I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order."

2. Reince Preibus, Chief of Staff, who has previously tweeted "Christ’s sacrificial work provides an example for us all, and we join with the Psalmist in saying ‘You make known to me the path of life.’"

3. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (who is a Sunday school teacher at his family’s church), and

4. Housing and Urban Development’s Dr. Ben Carson, who believes that God spoke clearly to him that Trump would be President.

5. Education’s Betsy DeVos, a Christian committed to bringing God’s ‘Kingdom’ through schooling.

6. Then we have Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,

7. EPA’s Scott Pruitt,

8. CIA’s Mike Pompeo (whose family attends Eastminster Presbyterian Church),

9. Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley. They are all professing Christians! The number of believers in the upper echelons of the Trump administration is quite incredible!

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person. (COLOSSIANS 4: 6) We have ignored one of the first rules of engagement: Never make a frontal assault on a superior force. Caught off balance, we tuck our tails between our legs and retreat — maybe for good. One of the truest signs of maturity is the ability to disagree with someone while still remaining respectful. Dave Willis.org Proactive Coaching, I’d like to suggest a “more excellent way.”

Jesus said “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Matthew 10: 16 Even though there is real warfare going on, our engagements should look more like diplomacy than D-Day. This approach trades more on friendly curiosity — a kind of relaxed diplomacy — than on confrontation. Tactics, literally “the art of arranging,” focus on the immediate situation at hand. They involve the orderly hands-on choreography of the particulars. Often a clever commander can gain the advantage over a larger force with superior strength or numbers through deft tactical maneuvering. The tactical approach requires as much careful listening as thoughtful response. This method resembles one-on-one basketball more than a game of chess. There are plans being played out, but there is constant motion and adjustment. Koukl, Gregory. Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions By Otis and Sue Davis
