32. I got news for them

Dec 2017

The religious right/evangelicals have been a horrible witness for Christ for decades now.

The world's biggest hypocrites. It didn't start with backing a pedophile for the Senate, that's just the newest low. There will be more lows to come I have no doubt!

Don't forget the pussy grabber that denies Christ that they put in the white house whom they prayed over, laid hands on and proclaimed him God's instrument for mankind.

They make me sick and the TRUTH is not in them! They are slaves to $$$$$ and insult God every day of their lives!

Matt 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
