I’m genuinely disappointed in us a Church. I’ve seen a lot of discussion on this topic lately and I want to share with you guys my thoughts on the matter. President Trump has done some good things to support our community as evangelicals. Defending religious freedoms, taking steps to reverse Rowe v. Wade, putting certain conservatives in the Supreme court, standing with Israel etc.… But this does not justify his repulsive behavior. He is abusive to individuals; he has done many disgusting acts in his personal life and public life. He just attacked the Jewish community saying, “I think Jewish people that vote for a Democrat—I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,”. I would say that in my opinion, most of the Jewish community has really shocked me with their stances, especially regarding homosexuality and family values. Even so, demonizing an entire people group because they disagree with your stances and your character is completely unacceptable. We as Christians are supposed to be different! '“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 'Matthew 5:13-14. Why are we accepting this behavior? We are not a good deed outweigh the bad deeds kind of people. That is a new age belief and it should not be tolerated. When is somebody going to stand up and stand for our Biblical beliefs unconditionally? The Jewish people, although they do not believe in Christ are still our brothers and sisters under the God of Jacob. Of course, our job as Christian is to soul win, no question. But we need somebody to stand up for us as a Christian/Jewish community and put our values forward. God is faithful and tell us in II Chronicles 7:14
'if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ' No more standing around and hoping that the President isn’t going to embarrass our evangelical community. We our losing our witness because of how we are represented through Trump. You should not be disagreeing with Jesus if you are a Christian, so let me lay some things out for you and you can decide for yourselves if we are being represented accurately.
'For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.' Matthew 24:7-8 'For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, '

The extreme weather, heat and natural disasters we are seeing on an increasing scale IS NOT because of climate change. Jesus tells us that when we see these things, we are nearing his return. Do not be fooled brothers and sisters!
'“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’'
Matthew 25:41-43
People in our country are starving and suffering. Skid Row LA has approximately 17,000 homeless people living in tents according to a recent study.

I’m not saying everybody who wants to come into the USA should be allowed to, BUT we need to be a place of refuge for the world. Jesus tells us that we need to help people who are strangers to us. America first is not a Biblical stance.
'And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien— Because they do not fear Me,” Says the Lord of hosts.'

Our prisoners are generally born into rough situations, grow up in rough situations, get arrested and end up back in Jail. We need a prison reform! Badly! Bad people SHOULD be locked up, I do not disagree with that. But we should be going into our jails and prisons and sharing the TRUE gospel with the incarcerated. Only through Jesus Christ can a lifelong criminal become effective member of society and a very powerful witness for Christ to other criminals.

'And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’ ? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.”'
Matthew 19:4-6
LGBTQ and Homosexuality is running rapid in our country. The amount of people identifying as either one of those communities is skyrocketing and we can see the effects of broken-down family structures in America whether its through a confused marriage, divorce or sexual immorality. Topic: Homosexuality
About one-third of U.S. children are living with an unmarried parentAmong the 25 most-cited school shooters since Columbine, 75 percent were reared in broken homes. Psychologist Dr. Peter Langman, a pre-eminent expert on school shooters, found that most came from incredibly broken homes of not just divorce and separation, but also infidelity, substance abuse, criminal behavior, domestic violence, and child abuse. The Crisis of Fatherless Shooters
We need to stand up for families! It is too dangerous for us as a nation to be so active in social immorality, especially looking at some of the effects it has on us as a Nation, Locally and even within our churches.
'Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.'
I Peter 3:1-5,7
Women, God does not want you shouting your abortion and being radically feminist, nor does he want you to have no say at all. He calls Godly women to be meek. Yes, women are to be equal to men and given equal respect. No, women should not be on the street shouting and campaigning.
'My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.'
Psalms 139:14-16
Based on the latest state-level data, approximately 879,000 abortions took place in the United States in 2017—down from approximately 892,000 abortions in 2016 and 913,000 abortions in 2015. U.S. Abortion Statistics Not sure if anyone did the math, but we would have 879,000 more two-year old’s, 892,000 more three-year old’s and 913,000 more four-year old’s…. How sad.
Our goal as Christians should be to evangelize and stand firm in the faith. God is watching. We need somebody to stand up and run for office. Maybe someone reading this right now. We undeniably have the upper hand in voting. Especially if we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters. No man or woman is perfect, but, if we can get somebody into office that will not make a fool of themselves and our nation, while at the same time stand for our Biblical beliefs than we need to do it. Brothers and Sisters, we NEED a voice.
