Trump’s Christians

Glen Head

I saw a meme on Facebook not long ago that accused Christians who support Trump politically of “selling their souls.” There was a long list of immoral things that Trump not only did in his past but continues to this day. Granted those who entertain this thought overlook the immorality of those whom they align themselves with, yet that doesn’t matter. They just want to point out the “hypocrisy” of the Christians and accuse them of not being like Jesus.

Let’s look at just one man in the Bible in a little bit of depth and see why God favors those who live moral lives even while under heathen authority.

We Have Re-Studied the Issue

by Hugh Fulford

From the very beginning of the effort to restore original New Testament Christianity, churches of Christ have stood opposed to the use of mechanical instruments of music in worship. This is the case because the churches of Christ in New Testament times did not use instrumental music in their worship. There is no passage in the New Testament that authorizes the use of instruments in worship, and there is no example of instrumental music being used by the early congregations. The music of the church for the first several centuries after its establishment was strictly a cappella (vocal only). (See Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 13:15; et al).
