I have been disappointed so many times with Christianity Today. They have come down on the side of our enemies so many times I have run out of patience.
Going way back to before Roe v Wade, Christianity Today played into the hands of Satan by saying it was only Catholics who opposed abortion. We Protestants approve of abortion it said.
Now the left wing magazine has chastised our next President, Donald Trump. That is the last straw. Cancel now!!
Evangelical magazine publishes scathing anti-Trump editorial

The editorial, written by executive editor Andy Crouch, was accompanied by a subtitle that minced no words: “Evangelicals, of all people, should not be silent about Donald Trump’s blatant immorality.”
For the magazine founded more than 50 years ago by famed evangelist Billy Graham as an alternative to mainline Christian publications, the editorial amounts to a grenade tossed into the presidential campaign. Roughly 70 percent of white evangelicals in the most recent Pew Research polls support Trump, and few conservative evangelical leaders have criticized him, even following the release of the recent tape.
But Crouch, who spent years as an Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship campus minister before coming to the magazine a decade ago, used the editorial to channel the growing concern among younger evangelicals that the political deals cut by previous generations have compromised the integrity of their faith.
Noting that the magazine is a nonprofit organization and does not endorse candidates, Crouch nonetheless writes: “Just because we are neutral, however, does not mean we are indifferent. We are especially not indifferent when the Gospel is at stake. The Gospel is of infinitely greater importance than any campaign.”“He is,” Crouch concludes, “the very embodiment of what the Bible calls a fool.” s
