Actions have consequences. And one of those consequences is that a church that wraps its arms around arguably the most vulgar, most corrupt president in American history will repel good people, especially those people who’ve encountered MAGA’s claws. Or, as Jesus said during his Sermon on the Mount, “By their fruit you will recognize them.” https://t.co/JIq0eQXrjW
This is honestly pitiful. If you don't have the tiny amount of political courage that it takes to answer that question, why should we believe that you'd deal with Trump with anything other than total subservience?
It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.
I’m not sure Christians realize how fragile and controlling they make Christianity look when they act as though they need a president, a political party, a Supreme Court, and a nation to protect, preserve, and enforce Christianity.
My conviction remains:
God did not ordain Donald Trump to rescue the American church, or revive the American church, or redeem the American church.
God ordained Donald Trump to test the American church. And the American church has failed.
The prophets in the Bible didn't speak truth to power because it was popular.
They did it because injustice demands a response.
We can't follow Jesus and stay silent.
It needs to be said…
This is not just a sickness of the mind.
It is also a sickness of the Spirit.
Donald Trump needs Jesus.
And we need every person who loves Jesus to stop acting like this is okay.
It’s not okay. It is sinful, deranged, and very unChristlike.
Follow Christ. Not Trump.
The way of Jesus is clear.
And it’s the opposite of Trump’s post 👇🏾
Because Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, not warmongers. To love our neighbors and pray for our enemies. To feed the hungry, not bomb schoolchildren. To put down the sword and work against hatred.
Choose.
Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?
And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.
Do not let anyone tell you that you shouldn't record law enforcement (so long as you're not physically impeding them). Citizen video has decisively rebutted the administration's lies. The evidence of our eyes contradicts the dishonesty of the administration's words.
Horrible. This is a remarkably irresponsible statement. It is vile to cast such remarkably negative aspersions on a dead man in the absence of evidence. Lawful concealed carry (police have said he had a carry permit) is not evidence of a desire to commit mass murder.
I hope the vast majority of freedom-loving Americans are uncomfortable with the idea that masked police are now telling people engaged in First Amendment-protected activity that they are "domestic terrorists" who will be added to a secret government database.
It is impossible to overstate how sinister this is. Not only is the US govt blatantly lying about recorded events like the killing of Renee Good and Trump mistaking Iceland for Greenland, they are now manipulating images to create a new digital record.
