Thank you for your comment, Leslie. I agree and appreciate it.

Most of his agenda is what the electorate voted for. I can certainly agree that I would rather have a republican who is more reasonable in his manner of speech, name calling, etc. His administraion inherited a mess and there is no easy way to fix it. Thanks for reading.

Thaks for reading.

Thanks for commenting. One thing the Bible shows over and over is that God often works through very imperfect people—sometimes even unbelievers. Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Samson, Jehu, even Pilate… none of them were moral examples, but God still used them for specific purposes. That didn’t mean He endorsed their behavior; it just meant He’s sovereign in how He moves history along.

And honestly, that’s how a lot of Christians approached recent elections. Many who voted for Trump weren’t excited about his personality at all—they were voting against immoral policies on the other side that this president was willing to stand againse. That’s not loyalty to a man; that’s making a hard choice in a broken world.

We don’t excuse anyone’s faults, and our loyalty is to the Lord alone. But Scripture simply doesn’t teach that God can only use leaders who meet a high moral bar. He never has. God can use imperfect people for His purposes while still holding them accountable, and He calls us to stay faithful to Him through it all. Thanks much.

Thanks for reading. I fully agree that Christians must approach immigration with compassion—we are talking about real people made in God’s image, and our hearts should never grow cold toward their suffering. But compassion and wise governance are not opposites.

I support legal immigration, likely much more than many conservatives. At the same time, the past several years have shown the tragic results of an overwhelmed and unprotected border:

children trafficked and abused, people exploited by cartels, dangerous drugs flowing into communities, and migrant families making deadly, desperate journeys.

These are not compassionate outcomes.

It’s also important to acknowledge that the Trump administration inherited a deeply broken system and an immigration crisis. The previous policies created a humanitarian and security crisis that no incoming leadership could simply ignore. The situation demanded unpleasant but necessary actions to regain control, stop trafficking, and rebuild order.

Scripture teaches in Romans 13 that government is responsible for restraining harm and protecting the innocent. Securing the border, enforcing existing immigration laws, and deporting individuals with criminal records—these are not inherently cruel or unbiblical. They can actually prevent greater suffering at the hands of cartels and traffickers.

So yes, Christians should care deeply about how immigrants are treated. But we should also recognize that restoring safety, protecting vulnerable children, and rebuilding a functional legal immigration system sometimes requires firm actions, even when they are misunderstood.

To me, supporting a secure border is not a rejection of compassion—it’s part of loving our neighbor well and preventing far worse harm.

Thanks much,

I agree. I don’t know how you ask someone to take off a cap or leave. That seems over the top to me. Sorry he had to experience that.
