There is extreme division in America. I see it in the American Church. Keep the politics out of the Church, it is God’s Church. Politics has hurt the American Church greatly, I believe with my all heart that is why the Church is failing in America. Satan is using politics to destroy the Church and all of America. This Pastor has a right to say what is on his heart. We all have that right. Satan loves hate and division. What is the spiritual condition of America? Watch the George Barna video above.

The division in America is going to rapidly increase. When you make a huge paradigm shift as the President is doing, you have to do it with love and care, building bridges of love and trust. The love of Jesus. I heard you say Mr. President on the day you took office you promised unity in America. You are not of to a good start. I would add Mr. President, please do not threaten people who you are mad at. That does no good at all. It is not as good example for my adult children and grandchildren. When I do not agree with someone, I will agree to disagree with them in peace. It makes for a better world. I pray for the safety of the Pastor and his family and of course for of all Church members. Many Americas get angry these days.

I wrote this earlier today……….

I have never seen anything like all the mandates that President Trump is handing down. A flurry of activity. I am the first to admit, I do not understand all of the mandates and the effect. I fully support the increase in border security and removing illegals who have been raising hell in our country.

Last night I made the mistake of checking my twitter feed before going asleep, and all the nasty from both the GOP and DEMS was so very ugly just as it has been, maybe uglier. Very dirty, nasty things being posted from both sides. The call for impeachment was rampant on twitter by the DEMS. Will we ever have peace in our Country? When we were out and about in Albuquerque yesterday we found that  many people are fearful what is happening to our country, for one reason or another. There is a lot of confusion out there.

When I would take over as a manager of a radio station that was having severe financial problems, they would be on the edge of failure, I would have to let people go that has been there for years. I had to hire many new people. I would have to change the environment, the moral quickly. I call it a paradigm shift, which is not easy for many to go through. This may not be the best example, but I beleive this is what America is going through at the present time, a paradigm shift, it can get very rocky. Communication with all people like you and me is vital. Trump needs to communicate and attempt to build bridges of trust with the DEMS. We used to say back in the day, you have to foam the runway first, then deliver your orders.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor (R-Memphis) walked out of a church service Sunday after a Cordova pastor made remarks related to concerns over immigration.

That pastor, Dr. Matt Crawford of Trinity Baptist Church, is now facing social media backlash.

The pastor said the following:

“I want to stop before we begin our service and just talk briefly with you about something that’s a little bit sensitive. And some of us may have different opinions on this. Some of us may have strong opinions on this. And I ask you to consider it with love and grace and the spirit of unity that our church has consistently been marked by and it has to do with this issue of what’s going on with immigration in our country right now and some of the actions that are being taken. And I think we all believe in the rule of law. I certainly do. I don’t think we should have wide open borders. But I do believe immigration is a major part of what has made this country so great. It’s a major part of our history. We all believe that violent criminals should not be allowed to remain here and terrorize innocent people. We can agree on that. I do think that there are many good people here who are undocumented who would like a path to legality. I believe it’s too hard right now for good people to find that path. It’s sometimes nearly impossible… [When] I was in Florida, we had a Hispanic congregation there at my first church where I was the senior pastor, and there was our associate pastor. He was not on the payroll, but he served as a volunteer there, as an associate pastor. And he was not documented. And he had been here from Costa Rica for 10 or 11 years and wanted to be legal and it was very hard for him to to get there. And that’s unfortunate. And I think we need reform in that area. I don’t know the legal status of all of our people who come to Trinity in Espanol. I don’t know the legal status of all of our people who come to ESL. I don’t think we’re called to police that as a church. That’s the government’s job. We are called to love and to help those in need. It’s been announced that now churches can be targets of raids. No one is being sheltered or kept here, but I don’t like the idea, and I think you probably agree that while worship service could be disrupted by a raid, I don’t want people who come here to to be ministered to and to hear the gospel, to be afraid to come here. So I’m disappointed by that change. I hope that we can believe both in the rule of law and feel that we don’t want worship services disrupted by that. I hope that me saying that doesn’t anger you. But I want you to address that. Hopefully, we can talk about things with unity and nuance and even differences of opinion because it’s on the hearts of some of our people. Elizabeth Richards is going to pray about it during our intercessory prayer time. So I hope that we can give each other grace if we disagree on the details. There be a unified church because the unity of the Church of Jesus Christ is so important.” More Here

A representative for Senator Taylor confirmed the senator walked out of the service, but stated the senator would not comment further.

Monday, some people on social media commented opposing the statements made by Pastor Crawford.
