We need God

It’s such terrible, sad times that a request such as this has to be made: Please make a donation to the families of the five murdered police officers in Dallas.

The protesters need to be at home taking care of their families instead of roaming the streets.

You don’t see true Christians going around murdering people. And whoever does kill someone in a malicious manner — whether they are black, white, Asian, Mexican, Muslim or whoever — will have to answer to their maker, the almighty God who has blessed this nation so wonderfully since its creation because of our once genuine devotion to him.

We must unite in this faith again to save our country from the evil consuming it. Only then will we have peace and love of each other among all races. You cannot hate if you love God. Let’s be honest about that.
