The concept that rules exist only for other people is a common theme in Mark Cercone’s work as a Christian pastor.
Recently, Pastor Cercone took to the pulpit to give a sermon to his church about The Danger of Pride. “We are not to boast about ourselves,” Cercone warned his audience.
If Mark Cercone truly believe that we are not to boast about ourselves, and pride is dangerous, why did he make his church a part of Donald Trump’s political machine?
There has never been a more prideful, more boastful presidential candidate than Donald Trump. Donald Trump can’t go a single day without bragging about how wonderful he is, how he’s better than anybody else.
Just a brief sample of the many prideful boasts of Donald Trump:
“I’m a very stable genius… Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
“I alone can fix it.”
“Nobody's ever done a better job than I'm doing as president.”
“I would give myself an A+.”
“I was successful, successful, successful. I was always the best athlete, people don't know that. But I was successful at everything I ever did… I'm smarter than all of them put together.”
“I'm very highly educated. I know words, I know the best words. But there's no better word than stupid.”
“We have triumphed over evil like nobody has seen before.”
“I know more about ISIS than the generals do.”
“We got more money. We got more brains. We got better houses, apartments. We got nicer boats. We’re smarter than they are.”
“I know more about courts than any human being on Earth.”
“I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world.”
“Nobody knows more about technology than me.”
“Sometimes you have to toot your own horn because nobody else is going to do it.”
Does Mark Cercone really believe that pride is dangerous and people must avoid boasting?
If so, how can Mark Cercone believe that Donald Trump is the best choice for President?
Does Cercone think that the rules don’t apply to Donald Trump?
Mark Cercone is pastor of the AMerican Reformed Church in HUll, Iowa.
It is in his capacity as pastor of the Hull American Reformed Church that Mark Cercone has endorsed Donald Trump for President in 2024 and joined Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
It’s a violation of federal law for a church to both claim tax exempt status and to become part of the campaign machine of a partisan politician, but Mark Cercone seems to feel that breaking the law is just fine, so long as it helps his team get ahead.
If Mark Cercone really believed What He says in his sermons, there’s no way he could endorse Donald Trump.
What would you expect to find in a book about religious leaders from Iowa?
How about murder, terrorism, monsters, magic spells, Nazi propaganda, business fraud, and plans for a global genocidal war?
That’s what we discovered when we investigated Donald Trump’s network of Christian Nationalism in Iowa. We share what we found in the new book Donald Trump’s Army of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates American law
Let’s learn more about the extremist Christian Nationalists who are members of Donald Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
