From a musician friend back in Buffalo, NY. No, I don't have a citation. But the donkeys are gonna have a snit about this, raving (probably) about the "Constitutional separation of Church and State."

Sharp contrast to the many Muslims appointed by Obama! No more prayer rugs in the Whitehouse.

Our Lord has everything under control!

Nine members of Trump's Cabinet Identify as devout Christians.

President-elect Donald Trump has now appointed nine members to this Leadership -- either White House or Cabinet, each of whom profess publicly to be Christians. Is this a huge answer to prayer?

"For many years, we have prayed that God would raise up men and women of God to positions of leadership and influence in our country. However, since the end of the George W. Bush administration, there have been previous few answers to that prayer," writes author and pastor David Murray. Who would have thought that Donald Trump might be the answer to that prayer?"

At the heart of these appointments is 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."

Then there is Chief of Staff Reince Preibus, 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.' "

Next we've got Attorney General Jeff Sessions (who is a Sunday school teacher at his family's church)

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

In addition to this, there is Education's Betsy DeVos, a Christian committed to bringing God's Kingdom' through schooling.

Next we have newly-announced Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, EPA's Scott Pruitt, CIA's Mike Pompeo (whose family attends Eastminster Presbyterian Church), and Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley.

They are all Christians!

The number of believers in the upper echelons of the Trump administration is quite incredible.

Please remember to PRAY often for all of them. Their Jobs are NOT EASY in the face of such opposition.

End.

A NOTE FROM TIM:

I would only include half of them as grounds for celebration. Pence, Sessions, and Carson are good, but Preibus is a snake, and so is Tillerson, a very left-wing christian in the mold of Pope Francis more than John Paul II, and Betsie has always worried me. Some bad things have been done by liberal self-professed Christians. Take John Brown. or Father Coughlin. Or Michael Pfleger. OrFather Daniel Berrigan, once on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list. (Berrigan is the "radical priest" mentioned in the Paul Simon song "Me and julio Down by the Schoolyard"). Or Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann, the Sandanista who was booted from his postiion in the Maryknolls for his working with the communists in Nicaragua and was recently restored by Peronista Pope Francis.

We need spiritual Christians and not worldly ones.
