As a long time Christian I am nauseated at what Evangelicals have turned their brand of Religion into. They are driving a stake right into the ❤️ of their brand.

With all the powerful men losing their careers, some on the slightest word,yet Trump remains in the WhiteHouse.

You have so called Leaders like Tony Perkins and Franklin Graham making excuses,showing what they are, I hope this corrupted version is exposed and clear to most of the country.

Maybe we need this cleansing, but it is really sad what the quest for power has done.

I am off to a Church this morning that has moved in a new direction,following the footsteps of Jesus. They include inclusion and love. No,my way or the highway, but am honestly really depressed.

Is it going to end, or will those with no scruples at all win? Destroy our Country?
