President Donald Trump joined in the merriment of a Mar-a-Lago wedding, sparking a deeper conversation among Christians.
Conservative Christian author and speaker Eric Metaxas revealed that the president crashed the wedding of his friend Mike Wilkerson, joking that Metaxas would be “the guy who’s going to get me to heaven.” While the author took the compliment gracefully, he also tried to steer the attention back to the bride and groom by implying it wasn’t the time or place to discuss such a topic.
Watch:
Last night, at my friend Mike Wilkerson’s wedding at Mar-a-Lago, the President showed up. As he walked in, he pointed right at me and joked, “This is the guy who’s going to get me to heaven…”
I laughed and told him, “I’d really like to talk to you about that… but another… pic.twitter.com/0OoJeTE0cB

“Last night, at my friend Mike Wilkerson’s wedding at Mar-a-Lago, the President showed up. As he walked in, he pointed right at me and joked, ‘This is the guy who’s going to get me to heaven…’ I laughed and told him, ‘I’d really like to talk to you about that… but another time.’ Then I reminded him, ‘Don’t forget—you’re America’s Supercentennial President.’ Truthfully, I would love to have that conversation with him one day. But this wasn’t the place,” Metaxas wrote in an X post, sharing video of the event.
X users reacted to the video, with many believing that he was in the “perfect place to share the gospel.”
Actually, that was exactly the time & place to share the gospel. God gave you a perfect opportunity to follow up with, “Actually, Jesus is the guy who’s going to get you into heaven if you call on his name & believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins.”

Wouldn’t have taken more than 2 seconds to say, Jesus is the one who does that and I’d love to talk to you about that some time.

Grab the opportunity as soon as you can. Praying that he learns that it is of “faith not works”

i think any place is the appropriate place to share the gospel.

Now is the time of salvation. What an honor gave to you and you threw it away

Why do I feel like Paul and Jesus never would’ve said “this isn’t the place” to talk about the gospel.

It’s always the place and time, whether at a hospital, a pub, a funeral, or in a crack house, a brothel, or wedding at Mar-a-Lago, to share the full gospel. It may not feel like it or appear like it is, but it is. Carpe diem. I pray you have a meaningful one on one in depth…
