According to a well-known pastor, Christian conservatives who have been lulled into a false sense of security from the power of the religious right in the ’90s to the gains for religious freedom under President Trump will be “astounded” by the “harsh” new sheriff coming to town.
Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist, Dallas says things have been pretty good for a fairly long time. But with restrictions on churches because of COVID and the battle over Ten Commandments monuments notwithstanding, there has been a changing of the guard.
“We are a distinct minority, and I think that’s what a lot of conservatives don’t get,” he tells One News Now. “They think that we’re the majority, [that] we ought to be able to press our will upon the American population because we are the majority. We’re not the majority. We’re the minority.”
In a recent discussion with Sandy Rios on her morning show, the radio host and the pastor talked about groups like the Secular Democrats of America openly challenging and mischaracterizing Christians who are involved in politics.
“We urge you not to underestimate the institutional strength of what we refer to in this document as the Christian Nationalist Movement, or the Religious Right,” Rios quoted from one of the group’s documents. “Its political ideology is anti-democratic and anti-scientific.”
With the Biden administration likely on its way into power, Jeffress says things are likely to go south and in a hurry.
“It’s a militant movement, and … I think the war against Christians is not going to be incremental,” Jeffress predicts. “I think once this new administration takes office, I think it will astound people how quickly and how harshly the attacks will come.”
That is not to say, though, that believers need to give up. Dr. Jeffress says “the right response” is to push for godly leaders in government.

No communist government has ever allowed the free practice of Christianity. Why would anyone think the American communist party (democrap party) would be any different? Right now, in china, Christians are jailed or killed. Not necessarily in that order.
Dr. Jeffress is right. The destruction of religion in our Country has been slowly chipped at by the left and then the destruction went at warp speed under Obama. Christianity under Biden, will be destroyed at warp speed, with all of the godless people in his administration.
“I think once this new administration takes office, I think it will astound people how quickly and how harshly the attacks will come.”
I believe Dr. Jeffress is correct. The attacks on Christians and Conservatives will be relentless.
Have they not already been relentless?
It is even more dangerous & despicable when religious leaders like the Pope get in bed with / defend tyrants.
Hitler & Stalin could not have easily gained the power to slaughter millions had religious leaders rallied the populace against them from the get-go.
The Pope may think it is Christian to tolerate / forgive demands & actions of up & coming amoral dictators but that always leads to disaster & suffering for the masses in the long run.
It is up to God to forgive but it is up to humans to ensure their individual & collective autonomy / liberty & reject by all means necessary any form of totalitarian govt such as the current Dem Party represents in USA.
Instead of throwing tea we need to start throwing the Dem Marxist tyrants in the ocean along with their media & high tech hijackers of free speech.
One must love, Trust, have faith and Worship GOD. His WILL be done.
Matthew 10:26-33
26 “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
