Imagine being painted as so divisive that some self-professed Christians won’t even say your name on Sunday morning. (snip)
In the church I visited with a friend, the pastor urged people to “pray for the country.” In the sermon that followed, he spoke of Moses’s “goodness and meekness,” saying the Old Testament’s greatest prophet “didn’t need a ‘Make Israel Great Again’ hat because he wasn’t “marketing his personality.” Much of the congregation laughed at the expense of a man who nearly gave his life for his country the day before. There were no prayers offered up for President Trump, the firefighter who valiantly died protecting his family,

As a once upon a time Episcopalian, I’m guessing that the church she attended was that denomination, which cares more about tranny rights than the Gospel.

Maybe in Episcopal or Loonytarian churches. Not ours. Our pastor is a Trump friend and loyal vocal, from-the-pulpit supporter.
And with Satan firmly in control of the Democrat Party, vocal support is all the more necessary.

God was always imploring Israel to be "Great Again" by "Loving the Lord their God with all their hearts and minds." They didn't wear hats, they didn't need to, whenever a young Jewish male privately urinated, he saw the "call" from God.
If your church doesn't pray for this nation's leaders, regardless of political party, in their Prayer Meetings, perhaps you should consider having a discussion with your Pastor. It is a mandate from God to pray for those in authority over us. God allowed Joe Biden to do what he did, and look at how it's all worked out for him and his family. God will deal with this nation's leaders, however we must continue to pray that our Almighty God blesses our nation.

Since the leftists have infiltrated the church in every denomination, it's not surprising that Trump has become a dirty word. Losing those leftists is no great lost. Much like union leadership, the priest and leadership of the churches don't represent the congregations.

Pray tell what Christian politician are they supporting for POTUS?!
Matthew 7: 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Trump isn’t all they lie about at “churches” like these. The people who swallow their teachings without studying for themselves whether what they teach is true (Acts 17:11) are sadly just as lost as they are.

The other day at that rally I will always believe that Gods hand was on Donald Trump.
130 yds. Off of a steady rest that shot was a shot that would normally been made 99 out of 100 times. That one time was God showing Himself. To me there is no other explanation.

Scripture teaches that God selects heads of nations (Haggai 2:20-23; 1 Chronicles 14:2; Daniel 2:21, 4:17; Romans 13:1-2; Revelation 1:4-5); “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God....” (Romans 13); “The LORD protects his chosen one. He saves him and gives him strength.” (Psalm 28:8)
As history has shown, it takes courageous clergymen to preach and teach the true Word of God to the extent they have been put to death for refusing to forsake their love of God. Scripture warns that those “who teach will be judged with greater strictness” (James 3:1) so those who choose to disobey the full scope of Scripture’s teachings are taking a risk with their eternal judgment.

Standing in a church pulpit no more makes that pastor an authentic Christian than standing in a garage makes him a car.

I read in another column that having blood on your right ear is a sign of being anointed by God.
President Trump thanked God for saving his life.
And I’m sure He did.

FTA -""I only wish I lived within driving distance of one of those fearless megachurches, because out here in the blue haze, it feels as though the Christians are getting ready to feed one another to the lions."
So, any thoughts. Harris is right? If yes, what do we do about it.

"The Sunday after the assassination attempt, in more churches than you’d suspect, and regardless of denomination, pastors erred on the side of donations."
It seems to me that too many ministers and priests are physically soft and morally weak. It's talk, talk, talk for the congregation, but in private, it's about the CA$H.

Any pastor, reverend or priest that said such a thing deserves to be booted from the pulpit.

God did not spare Trump's life just so he could lose the presidency to a pro-abortion liberal.
God has plans for Trump.
A blind man can see it.

It’s sure these pastors proclaim Lord Lord.
This won’t help them when they meet God
