posted comments by renown legal eagle Alan Dershowitz entitled “Alan Dershowitz Doubts Con- viction Will Be Over- turned Because Judges Are ‘Terrified’ To Help Trump” – sounds some- what hopeless! Dershowitz reasoned, “In the South, when they convicted black people improperly with an all- white jury or acquitted white people improperly with an all-white jury, that didn’t mean that those convictions were correct. It just meant that the jury didn’t reflect the values of our country, it reflected the values of a particular region of the
The Civil Rights Move- ment had Dr. Martin Luther King and today we have former President Donald Trump, but the lesson is the same. In his letter from the Birmingham Jail, Dr. King asserted, “Moreover, I am cognizant of the in- terrelatedness of all com- munities and states. I cannot sit idly by in At- lanta and not be con- cerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every- where.”

Yes, it is a disgrace Mr. Trump and be- cause of that, most of America will stand with you and you will win.

them to move beyond a com- fortable, insular faith and em- brace a more active and
call to action. He argues that while Romans 13 calls for Christians to respect authori- ties, this does not mean blind obedience to laws that violate God’s principles. Citing histor- ical and biblical examples, Metaxas makes the case that Christians have a duty to resist authorities that perpetrate evil. He calls on American Chris- tians to draw inspiration from figures like Bonhoeffer, who opposed the Nazi regime de- spite immense personal risk. In conclusion, “A Letter to the American Church” is a passion- ate plea for Christians to wake up and engage with the press- ing moral issues of their time. Metaxas challenges his readers to reject complacency and ac- tively oppose societal evils, drawing lessons from history and Scripture. His message is clear: silence in the face of wrongdoing is complicity, and it is the duty of the Church to speak out and act against the moral decay threatening society.

Eric Metaxas’ book, “A Letter to the American Church,” pub- lished in 2022, presents a compelling argument that modern American Christians face a situation eerily similar to that of the German Church in the 1930s. Metaxas draws on historical parallels to warn against the dangers of passiv- ity in the face of moral and cul- tural degradation, urging the American Church to take a stand against contemporary societal issues. Metaxas opens by drawing a direct comparison between the American Church today and the German Church during the rise of Nazism. He argues that just as the German Church’s silence enabled the horrors of the Holocaust, the American Church’s current apathy could lead to the downfall of moral and ethical standards in soci- ety. He emphasizes the impor- tance of Christians recognizing their responsibility to speak out against evil, rather than re- treating into a politically neu-

courageous expression of their beliefs. He posits that true faith requires taking risks and making sacrifices to stand against injustice and immoral- ity.
Metaxas also addresses the theological foundation for his
