As a Christian I have been looking at Christianity in America. I see a vase representing Christianity that has fallen and shattered into pieces. Unfortunately, many of the pieces have decided they are the whole vase and it has brought division.
The White Evangelical Movement piece that has made its way into the White House is of concern to me. I cannot find Biblical references to support some of the premises.
Referring to the U.S. Constitution, I found that the Bible was one of many sources used. One Nation Under God was not introduced until the 1950s. Nowhere does it say the Christians alone are entitled to America.
I found that most Muslims and people of color are not trying to take over the Country as the White Evangelical Movement believes. Most are just trying to make their way. This is all fear-based. The Bible includes, “Fear not”.
The left, as it is called by some, are for the most part not trying to take over, either. There are many good individuals who have Democratic Party values, and some are Christians, just like me.
As a child we were told not to take candy from strangers, or play with the bully down the street. Yet, the White Evangelicals almost worship the president who lies and defies morals and they take candy from him. No wonder the children are confused.
The White Evangelical Movement is a piece of the shattered vase that should return to the rest, so we can put things back together and give God the Glory.
