Recently a letter to the editor was written by a citizen who is also a clergyman. It appeared in the local newspaper 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, pro-Israel, patriotic and unapologetically brings his faith into the public square.

America is in a freefall today with the church (Christian) exhibiting apostacy, diluted and deceptive preaching that congregants blindly follow and the whole nation wallows in self-indulgent decadence. Abolitionist activist William Wilberforce in England determined (1780-1801) to change the heart of his nation to end slavery. Slavery exists today 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.

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 reverence God Almighty. Let us pray for God to raise up evangelists and culture-changing men and women who dedicate their lives at whatever cost 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.
