Why Intentionally Hurt People?

As people of faith, we strive to live according to Jesus' teachings. As such, none of us is perfect, and we make mistakes. However, here in America, some people are purposely making a daily mistake. What is that mistake, you ask?


Weaponizing their Christian faith to hurt the vulnerable.


Here's a partial list of policies that the  current administration in the White House has used to hurt the vulnerable:


* Cuts to USAID and SNAP, taking food from the mouths of people in need, both domestic and abroad.

* Taking migrants, both documented and undocumented, off the streets, detaining and deporting them without due process by ICE and CBP.


There are numerous other examples, but the point is this - one cannot do these things to people AND call themselves followers of Jesus.


Jesus never said to starve people and deport your neighbors in His name.

"Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." Proverbs 18:5

Leviticus 19:33-34

"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

"Keep Hope Alive!"

It's time to speak frankly about some of what is going on around us.


The Trump Administration is bombing boats allegedly carrying drugs while traveling in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. In one instance, two men helplessly clinging to the side of a wrecked boat died after being specifically targeted a second time. 


This administration also sends ICE into our cities and towns, violently detaining our brothers and sisters who are immigrants who simply live their day-to-day lives in America, and who ARE NOT criminals.


The Trump Administration must believe norms, laws, and rules are optional for them to follow, a "rules are for thee and not for me" paradigm.


The question we must answer is this. How can we continue to live in a culture where there are two sets of rules, one for rogue government officials, the other for the rest of us? 


We must keep hope alive! How do we accomplish this? Glad you asked!


God will guide us through these turbulent times. God has a way of uplifting us, encouraging us, comforting us, and uniquely teaching us. He reminds us that He is always present.


Keep your eyes and ears open, because God may not present Himself in a way we might anticipate. He may show Himself through a song, reading, a conversation, or by looking out of your window. As God builds us up, we must also build one another up, not insult or destroy ourselves, which seems to be the hallmark of the Trump Administration.


Do not despair because of the manufactured insanity that currently envelops us. God provides a way for us; we must be sensitive to the different ways God will send His message of hope! Keep hope alive!

Selection: Romans 15: 1-13

Today's musical selection is "The King Will Come" by Maverick City Music.

Video of Rev. Chapman's sermon in Washington D.C.

Rev. Chapman's sermon as the guest pastor at the 19th Street Baptist Church from August 25, 2024, starts at this video's one-hour and 32-minute mark. The title is "The Holy Spirit and the Church IT Department."

 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 

 Matthew 6:24 ESV

"Still, I Rise" by Maya Angelou

Read Maya Angelou's acclaimed poem here; https://poets.org/poem/still-i-rise?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzqbLmdnm9gIVRhvUAR1t3ghtEAAYASAAEgJWqfD_BwE: 

New York City and Quality of Life issues

ICE detained a seven-year-old immigrant and her family in NYC. What does Mayor Adams have to say?

The actions of ICE have long been out of hand. Detain and separate a family, including a seven-year-old? Why?! What crime or quality of life issue does this solve? Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus," is nothing more than a joke at this point. We ARE NOT supposed to treat people like this! Detaining and deporting people without due process is not what followers of Jesus would do! Read the article; the link is on the right.

Pastor Mark has a question for us:

What is the new thing God seeks to do with AND through you in 2025?

"Take off your religious blindfold; It keeps you from seeing the light of the Gospel!" - Rev. Mark L. Chapman.
