Sunday Morning Thoughts: “A House Divided Against Itself…”

Over the next 7 days, 500 participants come including the president of the United States Donald J Trump, are scheduled to read the Bible aloud from cover to cover.

Earlier this week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told a crowd at the University of Texas at Austin that America needs to get back to the principles upon which we were founded.

Justice Thomas is exactly right.

If Jesus Christ were to walk through the streets of our country right now, he would see a country divided.

What I mean by that is He would see one political party who is trying to bting our country back from a spiraling collapse by trying to reemphasize America’s place as a world leader while strengthening our country domestically and attempting to bring back the traditional American faith and values which made our country strong to begin with.

The other political party and their followers are advocating a cradle-to-grave totalitarian government in which 50% or more of taxpayers’ income would be relegated for use by the state to appease those they deem worthy of Americans’ money.

On this side, He would see a political party trying to rewrite the Bible as a book advocating sin, “non-traditional families”, and “fighting fascism”, while the advocates of this political ideology don’t have a clue as to what fascism is

People have taken the word of God and thrown away salvation through repentance by proclaiming that Jesus would accept people’s sin.

Yes, He loves us all, but He hates sin.

And that’s enough of my preaching for today.

The government viewpoint, which those out of power at this moment, are espousing, can be seen in their fight against the elimination of financial corruption in our federal, state, and municipal governments.

You can also see what they really believe in their fight against Israel and their support of Iran and others who would destroy her and her people.

The Israelis are proclaimed by God to be his people in Genesis 12: 1-3.

The bottom line is, unless this country can find its way back to embracing what is right and stop embracing what isn’t, this country could very well eventually be assigned to the Dustbin of History.

As a brother-in-Christ always tells me, it’s not politicians who are going to save this country.

It’s God.

America is on the edge of a precipice looking down into an abyss. We need to find our way back to the Rock on which this country was founded.

He is Risen! Resurrection Day 2026

This morning, as I lay in bed, The Lord had me thinking about Him. These thoughts were about what today, a day that Christians around the world celebrate as the day that Jesus Christ rose victorious from the grave, must have been like.

Pretend for a moment, that you are an average citizen living at the time of Christ…

[For the past three years, you have seen this charismatic young man speak about the love and mercy of God, and how His Grace and Forgiveness is freely given, IF…

And, there’s the catch…

According to this carpenter’s son from Nazareth, you have to confess your sins, and ask the Great I am, for forgiveness.

Whoa! Wait a minute. Who is this guy? A radical? Ask Yahweh for forgiveness?

And, what’s that he said? You will then have a personal relationship with His Father?

How can that be? This is the Great I am. This is the Deity of Vengeance who destroyed those escaped slaves from Egypt for throwing a party, while Moses was up on a mountain, and building and worshiping a Golden Calf.

And, remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar? Daniel interpreted a dream for him, explaining that his kingdom would be ruled over by Gentiles until God sent His King. Ol’ Nebby got mad, because he couldn’t rule over the Israelites and over the whole world unless God allowed him to do so. He forgot that, and became very proud. He tried to make the people think that he was very wonderful, and that they should worship him. He didn’t trust God as some of the kings of the Israelites did, but had the very foolish idea that he could be a wise and wonderful king without any help from God.

So, what do you suppose occurred?

Why, the King had another dream, and when he found out what it meant it was really terrible. In this dream God told him that he would lose his mind and would go out in the field and eat grass just like the cattle for seven years. And Nebuchadnezzar actually did this, too. Can you imagine a mighty king, as he thought himself to be, crawling around on the ground eating grass? The Bible tells us that his hair grew long and coarse and looked like bird feathers, and his fingernails became like the claws of animals.

Finally, though, Nebuchadnezzar’s reason returned to him, and when he found out what he had done he was very much ashamed of himself.

However, he learned by this experience that he was not as wise and powerful as he had thought. Learning this, he gave praise to God for allowing him to be the ruler.

This is the God that some carpenter’s son from Nazareth has been telling us that we can have a personal relationship with?

Strange indeed.

Finally, one of His disciples betrayed Him and gave Him up to the Romans, who crucified Him.

I noticed that while He was hanging there the guards and some of the townspeople there were mocking Jesus, telling Him that if He was the Son of God, to ”jump down off of that cross”. Meanwhile, some of the centurions were casting lots over His robe.

All except this one centurion, who was just watching Him, as if he was waiting for something to happen…]

And, then came the Glorious Morning…
[Wow. It’s really been amazing around here since they crucified Jesus. Did you feel that earthquake? The veil of the temple was torn in half! And did you hear? A bunch of people that had died years ago, were seen walking around the city! But that’s not all. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard?

Listen to this: He has risen! He arose from the dead and was seen by several people. It’s true! I know it sounds unbelievable. I can scarcely take it in myself. Mary Magdalene and Mary, James and Salome’s mother, went to the tomb to perform the anointing of His body and it wasn’t there! On top of that, there was this young guy there, dressed in a white robe. They said he must have been 9 feet tall. He said, “You are seeking Jesus of Nazareth. Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. See the place where you laid him.” So they went and told the disciples. But you know how Peter is. He just had to go run up there and see for himself.

Jesus even approached two of them on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize him. He even broke bread with them that night. They realized who He was and He disappeared! They ran to tell the disciples and as they were telling them, Jesus appeared right in front of them! They were all starting to panic. Jesus said, “Peace to you.” But they couldn’t believe it was him, especially Thomas. So he had him touch him in the hole in his hand where they drove the nail and where the spear pierced his side.

Jesus ate with them and performed other signs and miracles in front of them and they understood scripture as never before. He also came to them at the Sea of Tiberius. Peter took the disciples fishing and they weren’t catching anything. Jesus told them from the bank to cast the net down on the right side. They did, and they could hardly bring it in the boat! When they got back to land, Jesus already had a fire going and some fish and bread ready to eat. He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, and each time He told him “Feed my sheep’. Hey, isn’t that the same number of times Peter Denied Him?

Anyway, He taught them many things before He left. They watched as He was taken straight up into heaven. Can you imagine?

The disciples are making plans now to go out and starting spreading the Good News about Jesus’ Resurrection. They are talking about going out in pairs. Man. Nothing is ever going to be the same again.]

The despair being felt by the average citizens of Rome, at the time, is not unlike the situation which we, as average Americans, find ourselves in today.

We, too, are still struggling in the darkness before the dawn.

Our American Culture has been crumbling before our very eyes, as sin, depravity, and personal irresponsibility have been lauded by “the smartest people in the room” as normal, and values to be embraced…a Golden Calf to be worshiped by those who have turned their backs of the Almighty, because He will not give them the worldly gratification they seek…and because they erroneously believe that they are smarter than God, and can interpret and ignore God’s Holy Word in order to ignore and to rewrite to make it mean whatever they want to, in order to assuage their own consciousness, in an attempt to stifle that “Still Small Voice” within them, Who is reminding them of their sin and the consequences of it.

For the past several years, our Sovereign Nation and the rest of the world have been fighting enemies foreign and domestic, even within our own government, along with a Chinese Coronavirus, a combination of challenges which have claimed thousands of deaths in our country and the loss of jobs for millions of Americans.

Today, as we watch as out-of-control judges and political ideologues attempt to take away our American Freedom, we all need to remember the words of President Ronald Reagan:

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

Fellow Americans….my message to you on this Resurrection Day 2026 is

DO NOT GIVE UP ON GOD. DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE FOUNDING FATHERS’ HOPE, WHICH BECAME AMERICA.

As the old country Preacher’s wife always told him when she took away his plate after supper,

Hold on to your fork, Hon. Dessert is on it’s way.

The final chapter of the amazing story of our Blessed Land has not been written yet. It is up to each and every one of us to write it, strengthened by the Grace of God.

Saturday Quick Thought: The Difference Between Christianity and Islam

I have heard and read the critics of our military operation in Iran, and coincidentally, those who want DHS to be defunded and want them to be closed as a department, who claim that there is not any difference between Christianity and Islam.

Quite frankly, that’s like saying that there’s no difference between an in-ground swimming pool and a garden hose.

In Islam, the way to “walk with Allah” and escape his judgement on that final day of judgment is through ‘falah’, which means self-effort or positive achievement. The faithful must submit to Allah and follow all of his laws as found in the Koran. Judgment Day in Islam involves some sort of measurement of what the believer has done wrong and what they’ve done right. And even then you might not be let into “heaven” if Allah decides you’re not good enough.

This is the direct opposite of Christianity.

According to the Bible, no man can ever be good enough to deserve God’s favor, to win God’s Heaven, because from birth we have Free Will. This Free Will may cause us to reject God and live our lives our own way. That’s why it was necessary for Jesus Christ to die for our sins, covering us in His blood with the New Covenant.

God’s Word tells us that what we need is not ‘falah,’ but faith. To have faith in, to trust, to rely on Jesus and his death as as “the expiation for our sins”. Those who have been Saved by Jesus Christ can be sure that in the future God will welcome them into heaven with wide open arms, because they have been washed by His blood.

Islam and Christianity present two very different Deities, who may share some similarities, but who have different identities and ultimately different standards. To pretend they are the same is not only to be clueless of the faith of the majority of Americans, but also, to be ignorant of an integral part of our American Heritage, the legacy of Christian Faith, which our Founding Fathers bequeathed us.

Now, I am not saying that every Muslim is on a jihad against “the infidels”.

However…

When Christians become “radicalized”, we want to share the testimony of what God has done for us through His love, with everyone we meet. We get involved in our local church and we become better fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and American citizens.

When Muslims become “radicalized”, they want to “kill the Infidels” in the name of “Allah the Merciful”.

In the case of the Lone Wolf Islamic Terrorists committing the attacks that America has been witnessing on our shores, their immersion into Radical Islam led them to attempt to “kill the infidels” just as their “brothers” along with the Mad Mullahs in Iran have been doing for 47 years.

For Democrats to deny that, is disingenuous at best, and just plain out-and-out lying at worst.

Sunday Quick Thought: Are We Fighting a New Civil War?

Here’s your quick thought for this Sunday morning: America is in the midst of a brand new Civil War. This time it’s not over slavery or one part of the country wanting the rich economic resources of another. This time it’s between traditional American faith and values and a political ideology that proclaims that there are no boundaries, immorality and perversion are to be glorified, and avarice and gaming the system are admirable goals. This political ideology denies the biological facts that there are only two genders, male and female, and proudly proclaims that whatever fictional psychological self-image that some misguided individual comes up with must be accepted because that’s a good thing. In the Old Testament of the Bible, we read about civilizations meeting their end because of behavior like this. Without a moral compass and a belief in traditional right and wrong, through God, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, one might succeed in the short run, but there are consequences in the long run. If those who are embracing this failed political and cultural ideology that is threatening to take over America, filled with all of its blessings, are not legally resisted by those in authority and those who want a bright blessings-filled future for their children and grandchildren, America will instead face a dystopian future reminiscent of all the apocalyptic movies you’ve ever seen. The good news is that there is always hope. The same Giver of Hope who inspired Americans before us is still available for all those who seek Him today. Have a blessed Sunday. God Bless America.

Sunday Morning Thoughts: Illegals and the Nativity

“ICE acting Director Todd Lyons, as well as the Archdiocese of Boston, are calling for the removal of an “ICE was here” sign that was placed at a Nativity scene at a Massachusetts church.

“The actions of the activist reverend, Stephen Josoma, are absolutely abhorrent and add to a dangerous narrative responsible for a more than 1,150% increase in assaults on ICE officers,” Lyons told Fox News Digital in a statement.

A Nativity scene at St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, a suburb of Boston, shows an empty manger with a sign reading “ICE was here,” along with contact information for a group that monitors immigration enforcement in Massachusetts.

Rev. Stephen Josoma, the pastor at St. Susanna, said the church’s peace and justice group organizes a display annually. Josoma told Fox News that they, “try to see what would it be like if Christ was born into the context of the world today, what would he be facing?” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Growing up, I can remember that the Nativity Scene was among the first things that we put out when decorating the house for Christmas. Being a Christian family, it was our way of honoring the birth of God’s Son. My parents’ politics, which by the way were Southern Democrat, that is before Reagan, had nothing to do with it. Far left nut jobs like this Activist Priest, think nothing of blaspheming Jesus Christ and his mission on Earth by rewriting it and ignoring the fact that we are told to “Give unto Caesar that which is Caesars and unto God that which is God’s.” It is the introduction of man’s politics and preferences that has led to Americans electing not to go to church anymore. Man’s heart hungers for the Word of God. The rest of the week we are bombarded by what people like this political activist who desecrated the Nativity Scene want. Man’s heart aches to know what God wants. Illegal immigrants are not migrants. They have chosen to enter this country illegally in order to acquire the blessings of being an American with none of the responsibilities while continuing to wave the flag of the country they came from. That is nothing to be honored or accepted. There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. This Illegal Invasion which our country is experiencing is the wrong way and that nut job activist should be defrocked. Have a blessed and restful Sunday.

Woke Childen’s Book Reimagines Bible Stories With Woke Themes

“A new children’s book of Bible stories claims that the Bible has “made-up” stories and events in its pages, drawing criticism from a leading Evangelical parachurch ministry. 

The Just Love Story Bible, authored by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris, reimagines 52 stories from the Old and New Testaments, weaving in gender ideology, LGBT and social justice themes.

Featuring illustrations by artist Cheryl “Ras” Thuesday, the “justice-oriented” story Bible depicts characters in “rich shades of brown” along with “cultural, religious, and historical context to help kids learn about the experiences of people in ancient times,” including a reimagined version of the book of Genesis, which the authors claims was written not only by Moses but by “lots of different storytellers.”

In the book’s introduction to Genesis, the authors, who are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), write, “Some of the stories had made-up characters and events. Others were about real people and things that really happened.”

…On her church’s website, Lewis describes her congregation as “a Christian universalist, multicultural, multiethnic rainbow coalition,” where she advocates for “global peace, racial equality, religious freedom, gun control, economic justice, equal rights for all genders/sexual orientations, and marriage equality.” (Courtesy ChristianPost.com)

A Christian “Church” who believes that the Bible is NOT the Word of God is not a CHRISTIAN Church,

It can call itself a Social Justice Center.

It can call itself a Tabernacle of Wokeness.

However, if you devalue the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are a “two-edged sword” and the key to learning about the foundation of the Christian Faith, then you are studying modern culture and not the history of the Hebrew people and the House of David, from whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even some Southern Baptists have allowed popular culture to change their focus from God’s Word to man’s politics.

“Wokeness” has taken the place of “Righteousness”.

The rise of “Wokeness” within Christian Churches is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American, can reach is the fact that our Sovereign Nation continues to be in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it every day around us.

Churches used to be a place to refresh the soul and to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship.

Too many have become concert venues and political rallies.

That is one reason why Charlie Kirk was so popular among young people. They were seeking biblical truth, and he explained it to them.

Now, those young people whose lives he touched and who’s Ministry is continuing to touch, are buying Bibles and reading for themselves.

And, the same young people are seeking Church homes that are biblically sound.

I pray that they find them.

Christians repent of their sins. They don’t celebrate them.

At least, they didn’t use to.

For God and Country: A Day to Remember Charlie Kirk

Today at State Farm Arena in Glendale, AZ, over 100,000 people, including the President and Vice-President of the United States of America and several dignitaries, will come together to honor and remember the life of Conservative Activist/Evangelist Charlie Clark.

Struck down by an assassin’s bullet in the prime of his life at only 31 years old, Charlie not only leaves behind his beautiful wife Erika and their two precious children, he leaves behind a legacy of honesty, intelligence, patriotism, and faith.

Charlie’s passion was debating young people, answering their questions about politics and faith in an honest and impactful way.

He went straight into the lion’s den, holding events in colleges and universities where Far Left professors were teaching young people that traditional American faith and values were divisive, narrow-minded, and passé.

Charlie invited everyone to ask questions of him and answered their questions clearly, thoughtfully, and fairly.

When a student came up and tried to give him a gotcha question, Charlie smiled and turned the tables on them in a polite manner that they probably had never seen before from their Far Left propagandizing professors.

Charlie amazed people with his knowledge and his debating skills.

Having dropped out of college to pursue his dream of turning around the pervasive ideology that had invaded college campuses, Charlie surprised both students and professors by his expansive knowledge of history and his own Christian faith.

Like Rush Limbaugh before him, Charlie Kirk became an enemy of those who want to change America into something that it was never meant to be, changing our Constitutional Republic into a Democratic Socialist totalitarian government in which individual rights are supplemented to the will of the State.

That is the reason that a propagandized and brainwashed individual, egged on by others unknown to us at this time, shot and killed Charlie on that faithful day, one day before the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in American history.

Since then, those same forces who have attempted to propagandize our young people against America, have been loud and vocal, making up lies against Charlie and posting them on social media in a fervent attempt to destroy his legacy.

They are losing their battle, as millions of Americans will be watching the memorial service today for Charlie Kirk, having sworn to the Lord above and in their own hearts to carry on the fight of Charlie Kirk for God and Country, as they proudly proclaim…

“I AM CHARLIE KIRK!”

Catholic Bishops Compare Deportation Efforts to Nazis, Don’t Mention Their NGOs

“U.S. Catholic Bishops are citing Nazis, slave catchers, and replacement babies as they try to slam President Donald Trump’s popular immigration policies.

The bishops are also urging open borders, parroting cheap-labor demands from business groups, and pretending that illegal migrants are not illegal.

One Bishop is even endorsing President George W. Bush’s “Any Willing Worker” migration policies as an alternative to Trump’s pro-prosperity policies.

The slave-catcher and Nazi argument was pushed by Bishop Mark Brennan, the Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston in West Virginia.

“ICE agents and other officials “cannot escape personal responsibility for an unjust action with the excuse that it was ordered by their superiors,” he wrote to Catholics in his diocese, according to an August 7 report:

That defense was not allowed during the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals at the end of World War II. The judges held that a soldier, guard or official, who authorized or engaged in gross violations of human rights, was personally responsible for his acts.

We the people should also remember our history. The Fugitive Slave Act, passed by Congress as part of the Compromise of 1850 — an attempt to calm the tensions between slave states and free states — required not only local police but ordinary citizens to assist federal marshals in returning escaped slaves to their Southern masters or face heavy fines and jail time.”

His language echoes the elite-funded, pro-migration Cato Institute.

Trump’s deportations are wrong because business needs cheap labor, according to Archbishop Thomas Wenski, the Archdiocese of Miami.” (Courtesy Breitbart.com)

Billions of dollars have gone to churches for use in supporting illegal immigration, as nationally syndicated radio host Todd Starnes reported back in February…

“There are a number of Christian ministries and publications that are outraged over President Trump’s mass deportations.

One major far-left Christian magazine published an essay claiming even Jesus was a refugee – which he was not. The insinuation is that if you oppose the illegal aliens, you oppose Jesus.

But it turns out their anger may not be so much about the loss of the illegals as it is the loss of their cash cow. These holier-than-thou woke preachers are not fleecing the flock. They’re fleecing American taxpayers.

President Trump issued an executive order stripping federal money to a number of so-called charities that are supposedly using the cash to help illegals.

Catholic Charities received $1.4 billion in tax money. The Lutherans got nearly $100 million and Church World Services got $20.5 million.

Remember the bishop at National Cathedral – the one who attacked President Trump from the pulpit? Her denomination’s immigration ministry got $53 million in tax money.

The great irony is that many of these far-left Christian groups are among the loudest voices hollering about separation of church and state.

But when it comes to a government hand-out — they’re quiet as church mice.”

The Catholic Bishops seem to be ignoring the fact that church-sponsored NGOs profited highly off of their mercenary “charity”.

You will also notice that they seem to be advocating using illegal aliens as menial laborers.

As others have brought up, in our technological world, the need for “migrants” to pick crops has diminished greatly.

My question is, at what point does the organized Church stop doing God’s work and become immersed in man’s politics?

Jesus Christ told us to “render unto Caesar that was a Caesars and to render under God that which is God’s.”

Churches that have embraced the Liberal philosophy of the Democrat Party have blurred the line between teaching the Holy Bible and the Democrat platform.

By advocating illegal entry into our Sovereign and profiting from it through their non-governmental organizations, these churches are purposely ignoring God’s word for profit.

By the way…

On June 13th, the Catholic News Agency reported that

“The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability have announced the launch of an investigation into more than 200 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), including two major Catholic nonprofits, that provided taxpayer-funded services to migrants during the Biden administration.”

Didn’t Christ run the money changers out of the temple with a bullwhip?

I’m just sayin’.

Saturday Morning Thoughts: The Saga of Hulk Hogan

The past several days, famous deaths did not come in 3 but in four: Malcolm-Jamal Warner of The Cosby Show, Ozzy osbourne, heavy metal Superstar, Chuck Mangione wonderful jazz instrumentalist, and the “Real American” who brought professional wrestling to the world’s people who had never paid any attention to it before, Hulk Hogan.

Before I start, I want you all to understand that I recognize that Terry Bollea, known professionally as Hulk Hogan, was a flawed man.

However, we all have our flaws, as there was only one Perfect Man who died for our sins.

My Daddy was a professional wrestling fan, having grown up in the Greatest Generation, whose wrestling heroes included the great Lou Thesz and fabulous Jackie Fargo.

Being Memphis born and bred, my wrestling heroes included Jackie Fargo, Eddie Marlin, and Tommy Gilbert

Then, out of nowhere, came this loud mouth named Jerry Lawler, who becamr a legend, and wound up having a hand in training dozens of young professional wrestlers, including a young guy that they called Flex Kavana in Memphis, who wound up being the Rock.

Oh, and there was this guy named Hulk Boulder who came through, also.

You guessed it. That was Hulk Hogan.

Hogan tapped into and influenced the popular culture of the 1980s in a way that no wrestler ever has and possibly never will.

Hogan and WWF owner Vince McMahon marketed Hogan to the point where everybody knew who he was and either watched the wrestling shows that the then-WWF produced or their kids did while holding on to their stuffed Wrestling Buddy doll of Hulk Hogan.

The WWF grew from a regional wrestling company operating mainly in the Northeast to a worldwide juggernaut.

Hulk Hogan appeared in movies and starred in an action series on TV, which was produced at Disney World.

The explosion of cable television channels, including MTV, accelerated the popularity of Hogan and the WWF to the point where music industry stars like Cyndi Lauper guest starred at the company’s pay-per-view extravaganza, Wrestlemania.

Eventually, Hogan and McMahon had a falling out due to a court case involving steroid usage in which Hogan testified against McMahon.

Hogan signed with WCW, a rival organization which did not last long.

From there, Hogan’s professional career started spiraling downward as he wound up with an even smaller company known as TNA.

His personal life wasn’t doing well at all, as his family fell apart as a casualty of his fame and wealth.

Hulk was still making personal appearances and even reconciled with McMahon, participating in some matches in the now-WWE in his later years.

In the last few years, something happened to Hulk Hogan that was undoubtedly the best thing to ever happen to him. He got  remarried to a young woman, and they both found our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and were baptized

Hulk Hogan started sharing his faith.

Those who saw him in public and private said he never seemed happier.

The Saga of Hulk Hogan, the man who changed professional wrestling into how we know it today, is not a story of a celebrity who went from rags to riches to rags again.

Rather, it was about a man who experienced the heights of wealth and fame only to find out what truly matters: the love and forgiveness that Our Redeemer brings.

Sunday Morning Thoughts: American Christianity and Mass Deportations

Christian Conservatives such as myself and my friends often get into discussions on Social Media concerning the mass deportation of illegal immigrants ordered by President Donald J Trump.

They give us instructions as to how we should think and act towards those who are here illegally. 

I felt that they deserved a more complete answer,

So, hold on to something. Here we go.

Romans 13:1-7 This Biblical passage leaves no doubt that God expects us to obey the laws of the government. The only exception to this is when a law of the government is in opposition to one of God’s commands (Acts 5:29).

Illegal immigration is the breaking of a governmental law. There is no scripture in the Holy Bible that contradicts a nation having immigration laws. Therefore, it is a sin, rebellion against God, to illegally enter into another country.

Illegal immigration is definitely a controversial issue, not only in the United States, but in European countries, as well, as they are being invaded by Muslims who are setting up Sharia Law in countries such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark.

The fact of the matter is, Romans 13:1-7 does not give any Christian permission to violate a law just because it is unjust. Again, the issue is not the fairness of a law.

So, what is the Biblical Solution to illegal immigration? Simple…don’t do it; obey the laws.

Liberals tend to attempt to set the boundaries and to change the teachings of Jesus Christ to fit with their “political collective” mindset. The turning of a political situation, such as “The Migrant Caravans”, into a “humanitarian catastrophe” is just the most recent example.

Their claim concerning Salvation is framed in similar terms.

Liberal Democratic pundits both professional and amateur, put forth the opinion that Salvation is a group experience, likening it to a political movement, which could not be further from the truth, couching their political ideology-driven benevolence behind the term “Social Justice”.

I do not believe that Jesus would be a part of the Social Justice Movement.

His was and is a soul-saving movement. One that still brings hundreds of thousands of people to Salvation on this terrestrial ball every day.

A movement that, in fact, was embraced by the Founders of this cherished land.

It is interesting to me, that the “most caring people in the room”, the members of the Far Left Democtratic Party, whom, under normal circumstances, want Conservative American Christians to sit down, shuddup, and limit their faith to Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. – Noon, lecture us about how we should support their “Illegal Immigrant Initiative”.

Coming here in a legal manner is not only the law, it is essential for us to continue to be a Sovereign Nation.

The Oath of Allegiance for U.S. citizenship is as follows:

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”.

As we have seen in the ongoing coordinated protests against the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, illegals continue to waive the flag of their country that they claim they have “escaped” from.

The waving of the flag of the country that you came from what happened and the burning of our flag demonstrate that you feel no allegiance to America and that you take for granted the benevolent benefits that you have taken advantage of here.

And, it also shows that you are evading the responsibilities of being an American citizen.

As our Founding Fathers and those who have given their lives for this country have so bravely shown us in the past, our American Freedom, our Liberty, comes with responsibility.

As God’s word tells us,

“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar‘s, and unto God the things which be God’s.” – Luke 20:25
