Speaking truth to power

As we get further into this federal administration, I become more anxious and fearful. I fear the Republicans have sold their soul to Donald Trump. I fear the Democrats have become overwhelmed by fear and have lost their voice. This leaves the control of our government to a man who, in my professional opinion is mentally unstable. He continually demonstrates the symptoms of a narcissist who is possessed by the demons of vain glory and pride. He uses the Justice Department to persecute any who resists him and his ideas. He uses our Homeland Security to be his police and remove those with whom he is uncomfortable which are those who do not look or talk like him. Ministers and churches appear fearful of saying anything about morality and values, as Jesus described them, for fear someone in the congregation might be upset or offended. I am fearfully concerned, not only about the direction of America’s values, but also our churches. I hear few prophets who speak truth to power.
