Listening to the Lord While Pundits Prattle
In recent days, Donald Trump and Ann Coulter have kicked up a lot of social media dust about the Christian missionaries being treated for Ebola. Trump essentially patted missionaries on the head, saying its great if you go overseas to do stuff, but you pay the consequences. Coulter was, per usual, even worse. She argued that American Christians shouldn't even be going to Africa. "Can't people serve Christ in America anymore?" she asked.
Many Christians were horrified because they rightly understood that Coulter's comments are a repudiation of the gospel and the Great Commission. Many felt betrayed. We should not feel betrayed, any more than we would when Howard Stern mocks us on the radio. The same thing is at work.
Ann Coulter has not suddenly pivoted to saying some outrageous, shocking thing. She's made a living at it. Donald Trump is not suddenly a boor. He's been playing this role for years. It doesn't bother me what Trump or Coulter think about missiology or the Great Commission.
