And Mr. Paxton was exonerated from the power grab of the accusers and was not removed from office. Most Bible-believing Christians can see what a better choice Mr. Paxton would be than the heretical, faker, liar that you are! You, Mr. Talarico, will lose in November!

Jesus explained that He led a kingdom but it transcended any earthly empire. While Christians should care deeply about the current political realm, We must set our minds on things above and give God’s Kingdom the preeminence over any political party or person. (see John 18:36)

In “The High Priestly Prayer,” Jesus, God the Son, asked God the Father to cleanse and commission His disciples with His truth and to share His redemptive message. Just as the Father sent His Son, Jesus now sends all His followers to share His truth! (see John 17:17-18)

Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come to expose sin, to present righteousness, and the pronounce judgement on those who do not repent. If you listen to the Holy Spirit, He will teach, warn, and speak to you about living a surrendered life to Him. (see John 16:8)
