President Trump: “In America, We Don’t Worship Government. We Worship God”
Life News ^ | June 9, 2017 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 06/09/2017 7:34:52 AM PDT by Morgana

President Donald Trump struck a positive cord with Christian voters attending the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference yesterday. Trump told the pro-life voters in attendance there that government bureaucrats should not dictate the values of the citizens of the United States.

Instead, Trump said Americans — via their families in churches — know best how to create a strong community and that they are successful because they worship God not government.

“Bureaucrats think they can run over your lives, overrule your values and tell you how to live, but we know that families and churches – not government officials know best how to create a strong and loving community. We know that parents, not bureaucrats know best how to raise children and create a thriving society, and above all else, we know this: in America, we don’t worship government. We worship God,” Trump said.

President Trump also talked about how he repealed the Johnson Amendment which prohibited churches from participating and Pluto cool campaigns for fearing they would risk losing their nonprofit status with the IRS.

“No federal worker should be censoring sermons or targeting pastors. These are the people we want to hear from them. How about the people we do hear from every night on television. You want to hear from them? I don’t think so,” he said.

Furthermore, he said, “School should not be a place that drives out faith and religion.” Instead, “they should welcome faith and religion with wide open, beautiful arms.”

“Faith inspires us to be better, to be stronger, to be more caring and giving and more determined to act in selfless and courageous defense of what is good and what is right,” the president added.

“It is time to put a stop to the attacks on religion. We will end the discrimination against people of faith. Our government will once again celebrate and protect religious freedom,” he said.

“Family is the foundation of American life, and we are proud to stand together with all of you to promote and protect family values. We’re here today to celebrate two values that have always been linked together, and where Ralph frankly has done such a great job in linking them – faith and freedom,” Trump said, referring to Faith and Freedom Coalition Founder and Chairman Ralph Reed. “They’re linked together because liberty comes from our creator.

“Our rights are given to us by a divine authority, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away,” the president said. “That is why my administration is taking power out of Washington and giving it back to the people where it belongs. For too long, politicians have tried to centralized authority among the hands of a small few in our nation’s capital.”

This nation was founded on Christian principles. Obama was such an aberration.

This Great Nation was founded on God and Christianity and when God was taken out of our schools and other places, then evil walked in, evil such as Clintons, Obamas, Muslims, same-sex marriage, transgender bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, more porn, loss of morals...

Now that we have a President that knows that things cannot be done without God being involved for the good, things are starting to come around...we still need to remove the Muslims and their ‘sharia laws’, they are in OUR COUNTRY and they live by OUR LAWS, or they can leave...but God is on his way back and Christians are starting to see this...

The real question is who does America TRUST?

1) freedom with faith in God - or -

2) “guarantees” with faith in man and his government

Clinton made a very telling ‘slip’ in being quoted about ‘ruling America’.

Of course he was corrected when he made this public error. But, not before he clearly revealed how all Liberals perceive their election to public office.

True - and let's not forget the nanny-statist cafeteria-"conservatives."

Ping. These are stirring words from our President.

You cannot have a free republic or civil society without God, a moral sense of justice, and a commitment to fight traditional and legal (DeepState) plunder.

I dunno. It seems American Culture in general has a lot in common with the technocracy described in Romans chapter 1.

The worship of created things is nothing new under the Aten.
