Amen. In my worst moments I am angry. In my best moments I am sad. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Keep going brother.

A thousand times "yes" and "amen" to this. Thank you, Samuel. May this be shared far and wide to all who need to hear it (which is almost everyone), whether they think they do or not.

I agree with you on the methods of the protestors. They should have stayed outside. But you left out why they did what they did. ICE is terrorizing this country man. They absolutely are. And a pastor has no business being part of such an evil organization.

"ICE is terrorizing this country man. They absolutely are."

How dare the government fulfill part of its purpose, which is to bring terror to the wrongdoer. (Romans 13:4)

The way they are attempting to do it is evil.

I agree totally that the church should not be politicised. But that has been happening for years now. Haven't you heard of the 'Religious Right'?

Are you as eager to speak out against the Gospel being distorted for partisan ends as you are to express dismay at disruptions to meetings?

I'm not defending the 'invaders'; but why do you not condemn the idolatry implicit in 'routine' American religious preaching?

He has, actually. Go read up.on his comments about Christian nationalism, then ask yourself if you'd be engaging in this sort of obnoxious finger-wagging if he had been denouncing rightists.

And what "idolatry" is there in routine American religious preaching?

Do you think for one minute this dumped CNN script reader would have marched into and through a Mosque or a Synagogue? I think not. That would be a big PR mistake. He’s extremely desperate to create any media spectacular to get hired again. I take comfort knowing Tucker Carlson will most likely publicly shame Mr Lemon in the next week or so.
