According to this article, President Trump has caved-in to the marijuana controversy. The following is our response to Trump, and this sin called sorcery. Dear Mr. President Trump. I am a blood bought born-again follower of Christ. Therefore I am Theologically opposed to marijuana, in which you and your ‘top cop’ are considering advocating for.
Admittedly years ago I needed to repent from my patriotic view of the Scriptures, and so I say this with love and concern. Sadly within America I am seeing an ‘increasing trend’ of professing Christians acquiescing to the entitlement culture. More specifically they think they’re entitled to “Christian liberties,” or “religious freedoms,” or “Christian rights.”
Based on what I’m observing on social media, many Christians are becoming unloving, and very legalist in their posts and comments regarding this presidential election. I like what Dr. James White said in warning the church about this presidential election. “Be careful that your zeal for things political does not drag you across the line
A brother and friend of mine recently attended a Wednesday night ‘Bible’ study at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, whereas their idolized celebrity pastor (Jack Hibbs) ended with a lot of voting hyperbola. Rather than Hibbs be a strong under-shepherd, he engaged the congregation in a lot of emotionalism, and sensationalism. Their pastor even told his
A Biblical response to the hysteria of this 2016 Presidential election by Bill Rhetts A post to all professing Christians: An element of salvation is repentance, faith, and trust in the Lord, all of which the Lord gives vertically to those whom he saves (His church). That repentance, faith, and trust should become evident, as
This post is for those that profess to be Christian (as I do not expect this from the unsaved world). Though well intended, a well-known “evangelical” (Michael Brown) put this graphic on his Facebook page, along with his own preface which read, “The real way to make America great again!” But what is this graphic
To my Christian friends. I don’t know what I like better. The older days when voters generally didn’t tell who they’re voting for, and our voting booths even had curtains on them. Or today when most voters tell everyone who they’re voting for. Nevertheless, whom a person endorses (or supports on social media) tells a
On October 5th, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Steven “Steve” Owen was tragically executed by a parolee named Trenton Trevon Lovell. According to one police source, a witness initially observed Sgt. Owen tactically deploy on Lovell. According to this source, Sgt. Owen as expected, had his firearm un-holstered, and was giving commands to Lovell.
Last night on television, during the vice presidential debate, Mike Pence publicly gave his testimony regarding his faith. He stated, “My Christian faith became real for me when I made a personal decision for Christ.” Bear in mind that the aforementioned ‘statement of faith’ was seen and heard by an estimated viewership of over 50,000,000 people
My brief election sermon that perhaps would be heard from the pulpits of our Nation centuries ago By Bill Rhetts This post applies to Christians only, and does not apply to non- Christians; nor should we expect this from them. One of the worst characteristics that the Lord Jesus refuted, resisted, and rebuked; was hypocrisy.
Now that the other candidates have stepped down from the presidential race, I will respectfully say this. I am not ashamed to be an ‘out of the closet’ conservative (a real one), and most importantly a born-again Christian. But sadly much of America does not understand what a true conservative is, nor do they understand
Understandably so I see a lot of Republicans and/or Christians celebrating last night’s election victories. However I would encourage you to watch and listen to my below 10-minute video (in its entirety). Listen to the Scriptures, but also listen to the numbers (the math) regarding our Nations debt. Bear in mind this video’s almost three
Last night the Corona City Council voted on Resolution No. 2013-099, which if passed, would make the using of the name of “Jesus” in prayers / invocations, more “inclusive.” Prior to that vote, two persons (whom I know,) spoke on behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Church. They are Nick (from church) and
