Should we criticize our leaders ?
Is it OK to criticize the President, or congressmen,or the governor? Isn’t it our responsibility as citizens, and as Christians, to tell our elected officials when their doing a bad job, and really give it to them? After all we elected them to serve us, and to represent us in government. What does God’s word …
Jesus I know, and Paul I know,but who are You?
