Joachim, from Pastor Bailey's column that was published in Newsweek:
I’m struggling to hold fast to my Christianity— because of Donald Trump. Not exactly Trump himself, though, but the undying support of the self-professed Christian pro-life movement that he enjoyed. My faith is in tatters because of that alliance. And I am constantly wondering if I am indirectly complicit because I dedicated my life to the same Jesus the insurrectionists prayed to in the Capitol building after ransacking it and promising to kill those who didn’t do their bidding.
So because millions of self-professed "Christians" fell to the temptation of a personality cult, Pastor Bailey's own faith is in tatters?

Here's the thing. Christians aren't supposed to be in the majority. Christians aren't supposed to be in a position of power. Faith means believing in something even when everyone around you has abandoned you in favor of sin or cowardice.

Jesus himself was abandoned by all of his disciples. He knew it would happen, too, but that didn't lessen the pain of the betrayal.

The challenge for Pastor Bailey is to hold fast to his faith, continue practicing what God has commanded him to, and point out why those self-professed "Christians" were wrong to fall for the personality cult of Trump. If they don't listen, that's on them. He needs to stay strong.

Otherwise his faith is as weak as a castle made out of sand on the beach. One wave, and bye bye castle.
