The pastor of a North Carolina mega-church denounced the “God Bless the USA Bible” as blasphemous and disgusting. Watch the video below and click here to get Todd’s America First Conservative newsletter.
Loran Livingston is pastor of Central Church and he got severely triggered when President Trump encouraged Americans to get a copy of the gift Bible. Watch what happened below:
The King James Version includes a copy of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the lyrics to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”
Pastor Livingston thundered his opposition from the pulpit – screaming at his congregation.
When you don’t read and pray. You, you say, “Wow, there’s a Bible out now that includes the Constitution and the Bill of rights! Isn’t that wonderful?”.
No, no. It’s disgusting! It’s blasphemous! It’s a ploy! Are you kidding me? Some of you are so encouraged by that. Let me tell you something. The gospel is not an American gospel! It is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!
“But, pastor, I bought the Bible!”.
Really? You’re telling me? That you’re encouraged because someone took a government US Constitution, a document. That says. We are of the people, by the people and for the people, the people, the people, the people!
And you have put it right beside the Word of God, which is eternal, unchanging, which says of him, by him, through him, to him, from him are all things. And you’re going to put those together and be happy about it? God forbid!
Now you can get mad if you want to, but I’m going to tell you something. If you glory in that kind of thing, you don’t have a prayer life.
If you glory in that kind of mess. Political mess. You do not know what the Word of God says.
Loran Livingston
Pastor Livingston also said politics has no business in the church and that voting is not a spiritual responsibility. I explain why that notion is godless heresy in my new book, “Twilight’s Last Gleaming.” Click here to read.
You’d think that a preacher would appreciate a politician who urged Americans to read their Bibles and pray.
John Adams, our second president, once said that our Constitution was wholly inadequate for anyone other than a moral and a religious people.
In other words – when you take God out of our Founding documents – you get chaos in the culture. And we are in the throes of chaos thanks in no small part to feckless preachers who cower under their pulpits instead of engaging the culture.
