To my fellow Christians, it’s time to wake up. ICE executed another American citizen today. I pray we will be people of peace and people of action. “Give us courage to speak where others are silent, to act where others are indifferent, and to love where others harden their hearts.”

Trump's speech failed in five ways: 1️⃣ It abandoned truth. 2️⃣ It attacked free speech while claiming to protect it. 3️⃣ It stoked division instead of unity. 4️⃣ It spread fear, not solutions. 5️⃣ It treated the presidency like a stage, not a stewardship. www.maverickusa.org/p/americans-...

Americans Want Leadership—Not Trump's Partisan Theater

History won’t remember the petty theatrics of Trump's speech or the weak protests in response—but it will judge whether we met this dark moment with discipline, truth, and real leadership.
