It will be instructive to see just how many people show up for this protest for a Moral Budget. Because "faith without works is dead." [James 2:17]. And the Christian faith, at least, has been gradually, and almost mortally, compromised since the 313 AD Edict of Milan when Constantine co-opted it into the Roman Empire. The Church has submitted to, and even blessed, the workings of every Empire since that day and time. We Christians will not regain our moral suasion until we admit and repent of our complicity and participation in "things as they are in the world".

Not only are the budget parts bad, but please tell us about the unfettered presidential powers that are included in the BUB.

Knowing what we don't like is easy when we don't know how to get what we like. I'm wondering how to bring the Spirit to folk that are led to believe in Donald Trump being the "Messenger" of G-d, but yet not being so in the name of Jesus. I'm wondering about this ability to separate one from the other when it is convenient when proclamating a lie.

I would suggest people reading a quote by the late Senator Hubert Humphrey. It is called the moral test of government. It is short but insightful. I believe it to be true.
