Cultural norms should not dictate the truth of The Scriptures, it has to be the other way around. Culture may change and shift but the word of God does not and neither should our commitment to what scripture has always clearly said.
Many say 'your doctrine and beliefs don't matter--what matters is how you live, if you are a good person or not'. But that IS a doctrine--it's the doctrine of justification by works. (D.M. Lloyd-Jones) Christ, our Savior is born! We do not save ourselves.
“As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me.” Psalm 40:17
Whatever our circumstance, to belong to Jesus means the Lord takes thought for us. This is the unshakable anchor of our joy.
I don't know the Jesus some have paraded and waved around in the middle of this treachery today. They may be acting in the name of some other Jesus but that's not Jesus of the Gospels.
America, we are getting exactly what we deserve for not holding our leadership, namely the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump to a standard of decency, respect and honor that we would expect from our young children.
"Nevertheless, while believers can register under a party affiliation and be active in politics, they should not identify the Christian church or faith with a political party as the only Christian one."

November 3rd is not judgment day. Nobody in DC will end or save this world. Christ is on the throne and
His plans & promises don’t need consensus - the kingdom coming...
Don’t kneel. Don’t lock arms. Don’t love each other. Don’t empathize with your brother. Don’t care about your country. Don’t speak up for the vulnerable. Don’t seek justice or righteousness.
Just play.
Sad.
Do justice & love mercy
has been traded for
do doctrine & love teaching.
Somehow closeness to God is not how well you love His people but how well you can articulate God in front of people.
God help us
