Lakepointe Church

Highlights of Trump's speech:
-God miraculously saved his life to restore USA
-Wars will stop
-USA will "take back" Panama Canal (presumably through war)
-Denali is "Mt. McKinley" again
-There are "2 genders"
-Gulf of Mexico is now Gulf of America
-antivax military get back pay

This is what every white evangelical that voted for Trump is responsible for.

In early October, Josh Howerton, the senior pastor at Lakepointe Church in the Dallas area, delivered a sermon titled, "How to Vote Like Jesus." He didn't say to vote for Trump, but disparaged Harris.

Our tax-free dollars going to whats really important... feeding the poor? Taking care of the orphans and widows? Nah! We've got shiny new buildings to build! Gotta spend money to make money!

The holidays are tough times for mega-churches... All these people spending money on themselves!

@joshhowerton.bsky.social will be dusting off his sermon series on tithing soon.

Cheap labor, duh.

Thanks to @joshhowerton.bsky.social and the "good" folks at @lpconnect.bsky.social, God's will can finally be done through the hands of convicted felon, rapist, and seditionist, Donald Trump.

Thats right! We need that sweet, sweet mulah! Those state-of-the-art stages and concert-like performances aren't cheap!

My free weekly newsletter tomorrow is called, “A Christian Defense For The Separation of Church and State.”

In it, I share my thoughts on why I support it as a Christian in hopes of helping others to find their own voice on the topic as well.

We want the throne of power.
God arrives in a manger.

We want generals.
Angels call shepherds.

We want religious uniformity.
Magi come.

We want political uniformity.
Foreign kings gather.

We want a warrior prince.
Jesus comes as the prince of peace.

When we Christians become more concerned about being too empathetic and too compassionate than we are about being too judgmental and too severe, we need a grand reversal.

Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels were directed towards the authoritarians, not the gentle or the meek.

Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Real Christians know this

A reminder to our fellow Christians...

Rape is a "flaw" and Trump who spends every Sunday golfing, who cheated on all his wive, will save Christianity.

Of course what Pastor Josh really means is good old fashioned Biblical racism and misogyny, he really wants more of it and a not-white female president is not going to deliver that.

Josh Howerton sounds like if Andrew Tate was a pastor.

This is evil.

Megachurch pastor tells congregation to "vote like Jesus" by supporting Trump The Freedom From Religion Foundation is demanding the IRS revoke the church's tax-exempt status

Texas megachurch leader Josh Howerton told his congregation that they should "vote like Jesus" by supporting Trump.

He said to his Christian critics, "Jesus is not on the ballot, guys. Get over it."

An atheist group is now asking the IRS to investigate.
