We Individuals reside in a time not like something earlier than. Most of us can barely sustain with the modifications popping out of Washington, D.C. to the remainder of America and the world.
No one has even requested what President Donald Trump goes to do in his first 100 days as a result of he has already achieved greater than the final 4 presidents mixed did of their first 100 days. The very fact there can be resistance to this new agenda was a given, however what I don’t tolerate is the decision for violence in Jesus’ identify.
When Rev. Steve Caudle took the pulpit on the Larger Second Missionary Baptist Church of Chattanooga in Tennessee, he stated that “typically the satan will act so ugly that you don’t have any different alternative however to get violent and struggle.”
Caudle set the stage for his name for violence with a overseas coverage focus. “Reality of the matter is, we stay in a world that’s violent,” he stated. “You do not consider me, all you need to do is activate the tv set this afternoon and you may see Gaza, the place each constructing has been leveled by bombs, after which taking pictures and killing.”

He added: “All you need to do is have a look at what is going on on within the Ukraine, and it is the identical factor.”
Caudle then turned his eyes to America and warned that we confronted the same scenario. “On this nation, I am frightened that we’re on the verge of bloodshed. That is an try and take us again to a day that we don’t wish to go [back to] and we won’t go. Due to this fact, there can be battle.”
At first, I assumed he was referring to the frequent accusation by Democrats that the Republicans wish to put us again within the chains of slavery.
As a substitute, he was accusing Elon Musk of utilizing DOGE to pressure “his approach in to the U.S. Treasury” the place he would “steal your private data and your social safety test.”

Anybody could make this ludicrous declare about any presidency. However the query right here is, why name for violence? Why would this reverend go on to justify this violence by saying that Jesus additionally spoke the language of violence? “…the dominion of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by pressure.’” He then added that, “the dominion of God is a conflict zone. It’s a battlefield.”
All as a result of President Trump has positioned Musk to root out authorities corruption?

What troubles me is that this name for violence follows different comparable calls. A number of days in the past, outdoors the Division of Treasury in Washington, Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., referred to as for violence: “Shut down the town! We’re at conflict!”
Earlier than her, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. urged individuals to “struggle” President Trump’s agenda. “That is not acceptable. We’re going to struggle it legislatively. We’re going to struggle it within the courts. We will struggle it within the streets.”
Now, we’ve got a reverend in Tennessee twisting Jesus and his message of affection and neighborliness into one among violence. All as a result of he doesn’t like what Trump and Musk are doing?
Although I deal in politics due to my place within the metropolis of Chicago, I by no means let it rise above my religion in God. Too many people have dedicated the sin of utilizing faith to justify our political agenda however that solely corrupts the soul. The facility of God stays supreme.

Rev. Caudle has misplaced his approach together with these politicians and I worry they may lead many astray. The reply right here isn’t the politics of hate however constructing religion. Think about the place I’d be at the moment if I had spent all my time hating the politicians in my metropolis for obstructing my good work? As a substitute, I selected to construct and I’m now greater than midway to finishing a 90,000 sq. foot Management and Financial Middle on the South Side of Chicago the place I do know numerous numbers of lives can be reworked.
What acquired me there? Hate? Turning Jesus into a man of violence?
No. It was religion. It was religion in God and in my fellow man. It was this religion that saved me from the far simpler path of destruction and despair and put me on the far tougher however promising path of growth.
