A Lullabye for American Christendom, One Week After President Trump's Inauguration



My friends in American Christendom: Sleep well tonight.

Sleep soundly knowing that those who design to bring terror to your home have been barred from entry. Sleep peacefully knowing that you need not fear terrorists slipping in with the intent to destroy your way of life. Sleep securely knowing that the days of Muslim influence on our country are numbered.

(Do not worry about those whose slumber will be interrupted by the sound of bombs and gunfire. Do not be bothered about families here in our country who now have to wait four months before their loved ones back home can resume the process of getting to safety – if they are ever again allowed to come at all. Give no attention to the parents and children, brothers and sisters, who face destruction at the hands of the same terrorists that we fear.)

Sleep well knowing that order and safety shall soon return to your cities. Sleep peacefully knowing that the dangerous illegal immigrants who abuse our system and prey on the innocent will soon be rooted out. Sleep securely knowing that our laws will once again be respected and abided.

(Do not worry about those whose slumber will be interrupted by the fear of what might happen on their daily commute or a routine errand run. Do not be bothered about the citizens who fear additional scrutiny and possible targeting due to their physical appearance or language of conversation. Give no attention to the parents and children, brothers and sisters, who may experience their homes torn apart after contributing to their neighborhoods and communities for years.)

Sleep well knowing that life is winning in America again. Sleep peacefully knowing that pro-life judges will be coming to our Supreme Court. Sleep securely knowing that the innocent unborn will no longer be killed.

(Do not worry about those whose slumber will be interrupted by the persistent fear that life will forever be disrupted. Do not be bothered about the actions of our leaders that lead to abuse and demoralization. Give no attention to the parents and children, brothers and sisters – the innocent living – who may literally not make it out of this alive.)

Sleep well knowing that you are safe in God’s hands. Sleep peacefully knowing that you are saved by grace, through faith in Christ Jesus. Sleep securely knowing that you will be in God’s presence one day.

(Do not worry about the biblical admonitions of prophets and apostles. Do not fret over the reality that faith without works is dead. Give no attention to the example of those dismissed by the Father’s left hand, protesting, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?...”)



Sleep well tonight.
