President Donald Trump vowed Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast to “totally destroy” a provision barring religious groups from participation in politics.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” he said. “I will do that. Remember.”

Gambling. If they say gambling is illegal, there goes the farmers, fishermen, loggers, and anyone who works with Mother Nature.

Churches, their leaders, and their members deserve the right to freedom of speech without penalty.

True worship is knowing that the Lord is in all and through all. Nothing is outside His realm. Politics trying to exclude God is not only an exercise in futility, but when it is tried you get absolute horrors such as Communist Russia, China and places like Cuba, and many more. Millions and millions of men, women and children have died horribly at the hands of governments that make it their business to keep God out of politics. People have been seriously oppressed. Not only will they be driven to keep God out of politics, but soon everywhere.

Let’s not go down the road of thinking the very creator and maintainer of all things can be banned from politics, or for that matter anything. He will be there, either to bless or damn. Let’s give Him due respect and acknowledgement and humbly hope for His blessings.

The greatness of this country has come about through God. As a country the Christian God, who is God, had made us great. This is a fact, not to be thrown away to the lesser demonic gods of political correctness and inclusiveness. It is time for truth. Christians have a right to have their God given righteous voices to be heard in all realms, including politics. If we aren’t heard, be sure that demonic voices will surely take over, and then will come firey, fearsome judgment, well deserved, at the hand of Almighty God.
