The American Evangelical Right has shown its real need is reformation–James Kelly
Christianity and her Church has been my moral center for most of my life. The past two years have shocked my sensibility as I’ve seen friends of mine, Christians, support Donald Trump.
While I’ve been Pro-life and Supported pro-Israel policy for 40 years, racism has been to my mind–ungodly. Sadly, as Trump supporters continue to bolster their President and often from an evangelical perspective that is patently wrong, their true colors seem to shine through. And there seems to be no color of the loving kindness of the Jesus I worship–whose love knows no skin color, or tribe, or race.
I am a left leaning Christian, in the manner of St. Francis I suppose, and perhaps I always have been. Recently a prophetic dream confirmed this. This blog will largely support a notion of Christianity that reflects Matthew 25: 31:46. I believe it always has.
Now, I believe the Evangelical right, if it has a part in the Church Universal has shown its real need is immediate reformation. Daily, there should be nails on the door of this artifice if it claims an historical significance.

A party of soldiers who suffered a cruel death for their faith, near Sebaste, in Lesser Armenia, victims of the persecutions of Licinius, who, after the year 316, persecuted the Christians of the East. The earliest account of their martyrdom is given by St. Basil, Bishop of Caesarea (370-379), in a homily delivered on the feast of the Forty Martyrs (Hom. xix in P.G., XXXI, 507 sqq.). The feast is consequently more ancient than the episcopate of Basil, whose eulogy on them was pronounced only fifty or sixty years after martyrdom, which is thus historic beyond a doubt. According to St. Basil, forty soldiers who had openly confessed themselves Christians were condemned by the prefect to be exposed naked upon a frozen pond near Sebaste on a bitterly cold night, that they might freeze to death. Among the confessors, one yielded and, leaving his companions, sought the warm baths near…

So, really, there’s nothing especially new and out of the ordinary about depicting the Holy Family in a condition of instability and danger.

Did President Eisenhower say, ‘..a conspiracy to seize power.’?
“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”
