Brethren in Christ, we stand today in the shadow of troubling propositions from those who have strayed far from the light of the Lord. The latest scheme devised by House Democrats, as reported by Fox News, aims to strip away Secret Service protection from President Donald Trump should he be convicted of a felony. This bill, brazenly titled the "DISGRACED" Act, is a transparent attempt to persecute a man who has been anointed by many as a modern-day Cyrus, chosen to lead and protect our nation's sacred values (Isaiah 45:1). It is the height of hypocrisy for these lawmakers, led by the likes of Rep. Bennie Thompson, to proclaim the importance of justice when their very actions defy the biblical principle of fairness and the American ideal of innocence until proven guilty. Shall we ignore the divine wisdom that instructs us to "judge righteously and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy"? (Proverbs 31:9) The charges facing our President Trump, including those from the New York City hush money trial, are mired in the sin of deception, a web spun by those who would rather see a champion of Christian and conservative values fall than to address the true sins of the land. These 91 felony charges reek of a political witch hunt, reminiscent of Daniel being targeted by jealous officials and thrown into the lions' den for his faith and integrity (Daniel 6). Like Daniel, President Trump remains steadfast, pleading not guilty in the face of ferocious adversaries. It must be said that the Secret Service protection granted to our leaders is not a luxury but a necessity, a shield against the malice that plagues this fallen world. The argument that such protection could conflict with serving jail time is a shallow excuse to weaken a key pillar of support for our leaders, set forth after tragedies taught us the painful cost of complacency. Christians, let us gaze upon this bill with righteous discernment. Shall we allow lawmakers to dictate a future where the anointed of the Lord are left vulnerable to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune? Or shall we cry out for justice and uphold the respect owed to those who have served our nation with such vigor? In the end, we must remember the words of Jesus Himself, warning us that "if the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first" (John 15:18). Let us be vigilant and pray for our country, for President Trump, and for the forces of righteousness to prevail against this manifest campaign of political persecution. And as the trials unfold, we shall watch carefully, knowing that the God of truth is the ultimate judge of all (Psalm 7:11).
