We got a question for American mama. Dear mama, is it possible to
0:03
live as a Christian and still vote for Democrats. Well, let's ask our
0:07
American mama, Mama, mama, and joining us now our American mama,
0:22
Terry Netterville. There's an eclipp It's making its rounds on the interwebs. It's
0:27
very um viral. At this point, I would say it's of a pastor.
0:31
And I'm not sure where the pastors from. I'm not sure what church
0:33
this is. I don't know his name, um, but this is what
0:37
he said. Take a listen. See it can eat my dirty soft You
0:40
cannot be a Democrat and a Christian. You cannot. Somebody say, amen,
0:46
the rest of you, get out, get out, Get out in
0:50
the name of Jesus. I ain't playing your stupid games. Get get out
1:00
of the church. Yeah, in the name of Jesus. Now, look,
1:03
Jesus did chase the money changers out of the temple, and he did
1:08
it with overturning tables, and he had a whip. Should we be chasing
1:15
people out of the church, Like, oh my gosh, it sounds like
1:21
somebody needs is what would Jesus do bracelet, he is not, he is
1:26
not. I grew up with parents I'm Methodist, and constantly we were told
1:32
God is love, God is love, God is love bottom line three magic
1:34
words, of course. And this is not love, this is not grace,
1:38
this is judgment. And I wouldn't want on the other side either.
1:42
Now I get the frustration that both side, we are so divided as a
1:48
country politically, yes, that each side looks at the other like this,
1:53
okay, Like the left looks at us like we're the one the demons and
1:59
vice for we see what's happening in our schools and what they're promoting and what
2:02
their legislating, and we were like, oh, my God, that can
2:05
only come from the devil. It just feels so strange. Well, abortion
2:08
being in favor of abortion, yes, which is maybe the center point of
2:12
the entire Democrat Party's platform. Right. There is no way that is godly,
2:17
There is no Christian teachings. But you know this is interesting. I
2:23
was walking, you know, I walk every day, and one of my
2:25
neighbors he passed me by and he called me while I was walking and he
2:30
said you good. I said, yeah, Do I not look good?
2:34
And I look upset? He said, well, looked like you're crying.
2:36
I said, now, I was just wiping the sweat off of my brows.
2:38
Anyway, he's a he's a big Christian, wonderful family man. And
2:43
we started talking and I told Kevin it was the most interesting conversation because it
2:47
actually landed on this topic, which is interesting. And he said, you
2:52
know, Terry, he said, it's interesting because God, okay, think
2:55
about the Jews and the Gentiles. They did not mix right. They each
3:00
thought the other was the worst. Right. And then Jesus what did he
3:05
do? He went, He went and his prophets, I mean, his
3:10
disciples went in to where the gentiles were right, and they showed compassion,
3:15
and they showed love, and he taught God's word. And he said he
3:21
taught He reminded me of the story. So I looked at up when I
3:23
got home. He said, you know, Jesus headed deep into the Gentile
3:25
territory, and it was there that this woman begs him, excuse me,
3:31
have mercy on me, the lord son of David, my daughter severely oppressed
3:35
by demon. She obviously knew that jesus reputation as a Jewish healer was true
3:40
and evident. Jesus ignores her, please up until the moment his disciples demonstrate
3:46
their irritation with the woman. Send her away, for she is crying after
3:50
us. Is what Matthew recorded to the disciples. She is a gentile nuisance
3:54
that needs to go away. Jesus waits until they express their feelings before he
3:59
intervenes. Instead of sending her away, Jesus engages in a conversation and Jesus
4:04
plans to heal the woman, but he also wants to teach his disciples compassion.
4:09
Right, and it goes on from there. But I think this is
4:12
a place where this preacher has an opportunity to say, we don't believe in
4:15
abortions, right, that's evil. We don't believe in in harming our children
4:19
with what's going on with the drag shows and all of that. Fine,
4:24
if if you want to get political at the pulpit, but what you cannot
4:28
do is tell people to get out if they are if they don't vote the
4:31
way he does, right, or if they don't lean the way he does,
4:34
you know, politically speaking, to get out of the Lord's house.
4:39
Yeah, that's not a good example of Christ's love. And for me,
4:42
it seems like you've missed an opportunity to maintain influence. You cannot have influence
4:47
over someone who doesn't trust you. You cannot. It just doesn't matter on
4:53
either side. You're right, and so if I if I think I know
4:57
something that can make someone else his life better, I will do just about
5:02
anything I can to make sure I don't burn the opportunity to one day someday
5:10
have influence, have a one moment, to say one word to this person
5:15
that will open their eyes to something that I already see, that's already been
5:17
opened to me. Someone else showed me. I want to show it gives
5:21
freely given to me. I want to freely give it to somebody else.
5:24
But I can't do that if that person decides they don't trust me, and
5:28
they never will. Oh, Stephen, I think that's key. And I
5:30
think you just spoke to somebody today. Somebody needed to hear that, And
5:34
it's that's so pivotal, because you're right without influence, without someone trusting you
5:40
enough to take what you have to say to heart, if you don't have
5:44
influence, if you don't have that in their heart, then then you're wasting
5:47
your breath. If you like to ask our American Mama a question. Go
