The Price

This is one of the many videos more open and love-based religious people have been posting about the current situation with Evangelicals and Trump. I posted this one because I think one of the points he makes is important and very sad.

I said that any time a faith-based organization sells its integrity for worldly power, the cost will always be immense. In this case, because so many church leaders pushed their people toward Trump and right-wing radicalism, the cost was their congregation. In many cases, they will never be able to pull these people back from their current state. They have left Christianity and now belong to a hate cult. 

It's scary to think about. And I have to wonder how many of these church leaders realized how far this would go. In some cases, they will now find that their flock would rather burn down the church than walk away from Trump. 

It's going to take a long time for the church to recover from this. In some cases, they might not.
