Sometimes government persecution against Christians is very real.
My friend, pastor Mark Hilbelink, and Sunrise Community Church here in Austin are being sued by Texas AG Ken Paxton because of their ministry to unhoused folks.
Where are all the conservative religious liberty advocates? Why aren’t they condemning this targeted harassment against a church trying to live out the call of Christ?

Too often worldly, power-seeking church leaders
will refer to "Biblical values" but they do NOT mean
Christ's values. They mean the things Jesus taught
against.
Notice how it’s always “vote according to Biblical values!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
