Los Angeles, California
Dear Rev.
Sams,
Thank you
for your TV teaching ministry every Sunday morning. This Sunday your message
was on the Kingship of Jesus as the leader of our lives here on earth. This is all well and good but I have a
question that you artfully seemed to avoid.
Are we talking about personal piety or national politics or both? This listener got a mixed message, whether it
was intended or not.
When Jesus rightly
directed us to love our enemies, does that mean we should no longer love our
friends or our country? Hopefully, we
can love selflessly both relationships but this world, at times, makes it highly
unlikely. The difficulties multiply when
the Christian gives into the bullies of this world, claiming some higher or
more creditable spirituality. The
bullies will always want more.
As you know,
Rev. Dietrick Bonhoeffers found himself in this dilemma. How can I love the Jews who were being
roasted in the ovens of Nazi Germany, my homeland, and still live according to
the words of Jesus? Is love passivity? Rev. Bonhoffer made the decision to
participate in a plot to kill Hitler. The
decision was agonizing. Every self-righteous
scheme to qualify our spirituality will be tested in our world and found to be
dust.
Preaching
the love of God in the whirlwind of our California environment must be
difficult but trying to remain neutral in the face of evil is impossible. Sure, when we take sides, it will be costly
but how can we look the other way in the face of evil?
The new
Democrat Party under King Joe Biden and the radical left present the exact same
choice that faced Bonhoeffer. The evil of this Democratic cabal has killed seven
million people worldwide with the covid virus. Hitler exterminated seven
million Jews. The Hunan lab in China that dumped the man-made virus on the
people was partly financed with our taxpayer money. Dr. (Mengele) Fauci, the deranged bureaucrat
of our NIH, who, knowing that this kind of research was dangerous and illegal, found a way
around the law by funneling the money through a non-profit entity.
And the evil
just keep on coming. King Joe’s open border has dumped tons of illegal drugs, fentanyl
being the most dangerous, killing over 100,000 Americans. King Joe’s Democrat supporters
in Michigan are shouting “Death to America”. Crime is only a social disease not to be
controlled. King Joe has weaponized our legal system to ruthlessly take down
anyone who has the courage to speak the truth.
There is now no place for honesty in America. God has been replaced by the power of our own government.
Do you
believe I am exaggerating our national disgrace? It is past the time to pray for our country
but pray we must. Personal piety is a worthy topic that we all need but when it is only a
foxhole, we shall all answer for our misdeeds.
Respectfully,
