Various topics in the state of Christianity in America. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Do you know what “Do not be afraid” is supposed to mean to Christians? And if you’re a “Trump” Christian, do you understand the significance of adding “unless I hate you”? Christian or not, I’ll tell you, there’s no place in the Bible where you’ll find “unless I hate you” said in the same sentence as “do not be afraid”. So why do some Christians insist on hating?

The Headline: Alabama ISIS bride’s father sues Trump administration over citizenship, seeks her return. Trump says no. My question for someone who claims to have done so much for Christians – where is forgiveness? Mt 6:14 “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”Yeah – that forgiveness.

Is teaching the Bible in public schools a good idea? I dare say, most non-Christians answer that question with a great bog “No!” But what about Christians? Do Christians think it’s a good idea for public schools to teach the Bible? For what it’s worth, President Trump and the Supreme Court of the U.S. both say it’s at least legal. And while the legal issues play a bog part in the discussion, that’s not my question. My question for Christians to pray about and answer is whether or not it’s a good idea.

I mean, it’s not like the satanic temple is out there forcing anything. They’re just taking advantage of things that Christians have pushed for! What are we thinking? Are we thinking?
Do we have eyes to see? Do we have ears to hear? Do we understand our own Scriptures? Do we even read them? Are we – Christians – so busy pushing our own agenda, rather than Jesus’ agenda, that we’re actually the ones bringing ourselves closer to the end?

We can lie to ourselves and each other, but not to God. As hard as we try, and no matter how much we may convince ourselves of success, we cannot lie to God. I just read something from nbsnews.com – Ministers interrupt Sessions, are removed from religious freedom conference. I wish I could say I was shocked by it. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is happening all too often. And judging by the reaction of the first comment, people actually go for this stuff. I’d include the comment, but I’d have to bleep it.

I have anything against her. It’s more that our current president, and those in power that are following / becoming more like him, make me really take another look at both parties. And I don’t like either one.
There are so many things that, as a Christian, I must take exception to. But for whatever reason, God has us living in a democracy. And we have the ability to vote. But how do we choose, when both sides are so anti-Christian – if not in word then certainly in deed. The things both sides do should be unacceptable to Christians. So how do we choose who to vote for?

Donald Trump says: “I ‘destroy’ careers of Republicans who say bad things about me.” Say bad things about me and I’ll destroy you. Is that a Christian mindset and way to live?

Such a time as this.
A time when “meant for people like her” still means a black person isn’t welcome in any given church she wants to attend.
A time when someone doesn’t go to church because they don’t feel welcome.
A time when Satan wins because too many Christians follow his lies instead of God’s truth.
Government-endorsed religion is an issue. Clearly it is up to us to do our part. Maybe that part is to find out the truth – to come out from under the influence of government-endorsed religion. Maybe that part is to tell the truth about government-endorsed religion, so that others won’t fall prey to it.
