This is what makes me angry at so many of those politicians calling themselves Christians, they do the opposite of what the Bible says. Evidently they think the Bible is full of anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant stuff, when most of Jesus's miracles and sermons were about helping sick and poor people. And the Old Testament is full of verses about helping the poor & immigrants as well. How do politicians like Paul Ryan and Mike Pence, et al. think they are living up to Christ's standards but throwing people off of health insurance cutting services such as meals on Wheels, afterschool programs, food stamps and vet programs? Hypocrites!
Psalm 146:9
ReplyDeleteThe LORD protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, But He thwarts the way of the wicked.
Not under the current Administration, He doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThe mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.
ReplyDeleteAll of us at some time as been a stranger in a strange land.
ReplyDeleteWhy not a little empathy?
Lady Anne, I certainly hope so.
ReplyDeleteCannot be quoted often enough. I'd swap any Sunday sermon for a simple reading of this from the pulpit. (and the story of the Good Samaritan.)
