Recently a letter to the editor was written by a citizen who is also a clergyman. It appeared in our local newspaper (Muskogee) expressing his appreciation for the man who is presently our president.

The letter was gracious and bold in stating such appreciation for Mr. Trump and his leadership. There are those who would vehemently disagree with the letter since over the past 3 years’ Mr. Trump has been vilified, ridiculed and now members of the left and Democrats’ leadership have voted to impeach him.

Even so, his private faith acts courageously in the face of death threats and incredible opposition.

Mr. Trump – however imperfect as a human and leader – is still being used by God to do some remarkable actions consistent with the founding purposes of this nation. He is pro-life, pro­Israel, patriotic and unapologetically brings his faith into the public square. A former politician, Rep. Vic Fazio, D-California, thundered in a congressional session, “Republicans accept the religious right and their tactics at their own peril.” Further, he accused Christians of “imposing their morality” on America.

America is in a freefall today while the church (Christian) exhibits apostacy, diluted and deceptive preaching that congregants blindly follow and the whole nation wallows in self-indulgent decadence.

Abolitionist activist William Wilberforce in England (1780-1801) determined to change the heart of the nation to end slavery. Slavery exists today but in a different form: abortion, transgenderism, same-sex “marriages,” exterminating babies who survived abortion procedures, corruption in the halls of government at all levels – local, state, nationally.

There is public scorn for believers who stand up in the public square and are rewarded with the label of hate-mongers for seeking to restore biblical standards for human life. Believers are also subjected to mandated participation in immoral activities in the workplace.

Without a God initiated revival followed by reform of human behavior, our children and grandchildren will never know the freedom and inalienable rights afforded those who revere God Almighty.

Let us pray for God to raise up evangelists and culture-changing men and women who dedicate at whatever the cost their lives to Christ and to the kind of sacrificial faith, endurance and boldness needed to repent and turn our hearts back to the Lord.

“If My people, who are called by My name…” That is the audience that needs to take the first step to make revival and reform happen today.
