174 - CALL TO ORDER - TEMPLE MOUNT - AL AQSA - DOME OF THE ROCK - PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD

I am pleased to deliver to you Episode 174 where I report on President Trump's address to the joint session of Congress, the beginning of Ramadan, the history of the Temple Mount, the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Jude 33 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. President Donald Trump’s speech on Tuesday evening resonated deeply with people of faith, as he reaffirmed his commitment to religious liberty, family values, and policies that align with conservative principles. His address emphasized the importance of protecting American traditions, defending religious freedoms, and ensuring that faith remains central to the nation’s moral and cultural fabric. Religious Liberty: Trump pledged to protect religious institutions and individuals from government overreach, reaffirming support for faith-based organizations.Family & Traditional Values: Emphasized strong families, pro-life policies, and resisting cultural shifts away from traditional values.National Security & Christian Communities: Highlighted victories against ISIS and reinforced commitment to protecting persecuted Christians globally.Economic Empowerment for Faith-Based Groups: Advocated fair trade and deregulation to strengthen faith-based charities, churches, and businesses.  It's clear by the agenda that has been set before the American people by our commander in chief that we, the faith community, have a lot to celebrate - but also a lot of work to do.We have an administration that will work with us, celebrate, and even champion our values. It is also evident that our nation is still greatly divided, and therefore, we have the significant responsibility to pray for our leaders and pray for our nation.
