But if that is not enough, here is a direct quote. This is not an attempt to be “holier than thou”, but simply an observation. After the last few weeks and the immigration issue of separating innocent children from their families, Christians that have supported and upheld the recent Trump policies and appointments have been incredibly silent. This latest “policy and somewhat reversal” has clear and unquestionable instruction for Christians to follow. A well known biblical quote direct from Christ, and still, it was ignored. I was shocked when Christians did not come out in mass chastising his payment to a porn star and others. I stood back observing the churches reactions while they watched him lie, and berate and blame others for his misdeeds and still nothing. They continued to excuse and support. Every now and again I hear a little rumble of discomfort with his behavior…but never more than that. I do not understand Christians or Republicans and am proud to now call myself neither (and I used to be both)….I am just a human…trying my best to do the right thing based on love. I think this is what we need more of. Stop hiding behind labels and just do the right thing!
