chose power and privilege over justice and truth. IOW, Graham
worshipped MAMMON instead of God.
[center]WHAT IS MAMMON?[/center]
by Creflo Dollar | 9 Apr 2017
SUMMARY
Jesus did not throw words around, so it is significant that he
used the word “mammon” at least four times in the New Testament.
When he used it, he did not simply mean money; he deliberately
used the word “mammon” to show us what happens when we become
attached to money. But mammon’s influence does not just stop
with wealth. [i]If we are not vigilant, this spirit will extend
to every area of our lives and convince us to trust it instead
of God.[/i] It tries to motivate us to do more things for it
than for God, with the goal of replacing God as the source of
what we need. In the book of Exodus, this spirit convinced the
people that they did not need God, and its strategy has not
changed This evil spirit will deliberately lead us astray and
abandon us, but God will always extend his mercy and grace when
we need him.
A. Mammon is not money. It is the spirit of deceitful riches
that lies to us.
He who is faithful in that which is least is also faithful in
much, and he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much
(Luke 16:10-14).
Jesus’ parable, as well as the entire chapter, is about a
steward who was unfaithful with his master’s goods because he
was influenced by mammon.
The original translation of mammon is “deceitful riches.” Money
with the spirit of mammon on it becomes deceitful.
Money is neither good nor bad; it takes on the spirit of who has
it. How it is used depends on whether its owner is under the
influence of God or mammon.
Mammon refers to the desire to pursue wealth as a primary goal
in life. The Bible says to seek God first, and everything else
will be added (Matthew 6:33).
The devil took Jesus up to a high mountain and showed him all
the kingdoms of the world and their glory. He said to him, I
will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship
me (Matthew 4:8, 9).
Mammon tried to seduce Jesus; there is no reason not to think it
would try the same trick with us.
Whatever mammon offers us is deceitful. Everything from this
spirit is designed to fool us into thinking that walking with it
will end well, but mammon always leaves us in a pit.
When Jesus entered Jericho, Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see him
as he passed by. Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to
Zacchaeus to come down quickly, because he had to stay at his
house that day. Jesus then told another parable to teach about
the link between money and faithfulness (Luke 19:2-24).
Zacchaeus first felt the favor of God when Jesus looked up and
greeted him.
Zacchaeus had previously been under the spirit of mammon, but a
meeting with Jesus freed him to become a giver.
B. We must be careful not to unwittingly make mammon our god.
Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known
to God (Philippians 4:6).
We are told to be anxious for nothing. Being anxious about our
unmet needs is a sign that we worship mammon.
No one can serve two masters; either he will hate the one and
love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one
and be against the other. You cannot serve God and deceitful
riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in (Matthew
6:24-32, AMPC).
We must stop being perpetually uneasy, anxious, and worried.
Aim at and strive for first of all his kingdom and
righteousness, his way of doing and being right, and then all
these things taken together will be given you besides. Do not
worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have
worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its
own trouble (Matthew 6:33, 34, AMPC).
When we live in the present instead of the future, the Holy
Spirit will give us the grace need at the moment.
We need not fear the future.

[center]Worshipping Donald Trump [/center]
Tim Faulkner
Updated: 7:59 pm EST Sun Feb 25, 2018
It’s been said that it’s rude to discuss politics and religion
in a social setting. That is becoming more and more difficult to
avoid given the current political environment. With the advent
of social media, more people began feeling comfortable sharing
their beliefs on all issues, despite now having an even larger
audience than when previous conversations were done at the
dinner table or perhaps after a few drinks at the bar, when lips
are loose and true opinions flow faster than the beer tap.
With the recent death of Evangelist Billy Graham there is even
more discussion than normal of religion by those in politics.
The rise of Donald Trump, and his subsequent support by those
that claim to be extremely religious, is still odd. With
absolutely zero evidence of Trump ever being religious prior to
his presidential run so-called Christians seemed to flock to him
as the second coming of Christ.
Their near worship of him, to this day, is baffling. The fact
that Donald Trump still carries a high approval rating among
Evangelicals is almost laughable, and certainly confusing.
Despite all of the facts coming forward almost daily, involving
Trump’s multiple affairs with p o r n stars and Playboy
playmates, the “religious right” continue to make excuses for
him.
So what could possibly explain the praise, admiration, and even
idolization Evangelicals show towards a man who exhibits
literally zero of the attributes taught by any religion? Are the
followers simply brainwashed, believing every word their leaders
push? Why are top Evangelicals willing to sell out their faith
to gain supporters? Perhaps for the very same reason that Trump
was happy to sell out America: for money and power. One thing is
certain – fake prophets seem willing to do anything for real
profits.

Fitzgerald made her name with her now classic Fire in the Lake,
which won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award and is
still considered one of the best accounts of the Vietnam War.
Her sixth book chronicles the social and political roles of
Evangelicals in America. Now constituting twenty-five percent of
the American population, Evangelicals have helped shape the
country since the Puritans, though they became a dominant force
only with the Great Awakenings of the nineteenth century. A
populist rebellion centered in revivals, the movement split
along North-South lines with the Civil War, then into
modernist-fundamentalist factions. Preachers like Billy Graham
worked to unite the groups, but the turbulent 1960s divided them
further.

Truthout
[center]In Upholding Muslim Ban, the Supreme Court Ignored
International Law[/center]
Marjorie Cohn Truthout
PUBLISHED July 1, 2018
SNIPPET:
Evidence of the Discriminatory Nature of the Travel Ban
Even though the Supreme Court majority held that the ban did not
violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, much
evidence exists to the contrary.
The Establishment Clause says, “Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof.” That means “one religious denomination cannot
be officially preferred over another,” according to Supreme
Court case law.
After quoting a few of Trump’s anti-Muslim statements, Roberts
noted, “the issue before us is not whether to denounce the
statements” but rather “the significance of those statements in
reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face,
addressing a matter within the core of executive
responsibility.” Roberts added, “we must consider not only the
statements of a particular President, but also the authority of
the Presidency itself.”
Roberts wrote that the Court could consider the president’s
statements “but will uphold the policy so long as it can
reasonably be understood to result from a justification
independent of unconstitutional grounds.” Courts must give great
deference to the president in immigration matters and will
uphold his policy if it has any legitimate purpose, Roberts
noted. “The entry suspension has a legitimate grounding in
national security concerns, quite apart from any religious
hostility.” The text doesn’t specifically mention religion, so
Roberts wrote it was “neutral on its face.”
Sotomayor spent seven of the 28 pages of her dissent listing
more than a dozen statements by Trump denigrating Muslims. She
cited the policy’s initial purpose as a “total and complete
shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” in Trump’s
words. But that policy “now masquerades behind a façade of
national security concerns,” Sotomayor wrote.
She quoted a Trump adviser who said, “When [Donald Trump] first
announced it, he said, ‘Muslim ban.’” Sotomayor also listed
Trump’s declarations that “Islam hates us,” “we’re having
problems with Muslims coming into the country,” and “Muslims do
not respect us at all.”
Trump said President Franklin D. Roosevelt “did the same thing”
with his internment of Japanese Americans during World War II,
Sotomayor noted. Trump told a story about General John J.
Pershing killing a large group of Muslim insurgents in the
Philippines with bullets dipped in pig’s blood. When he issued
his first ban, Trump explained that Christians would be given
preference for entry as refugees into the United States. He also
retweeted three anti-Muslim videos.
“Taking all the relevant evidence together,” Sotomayor wrote, “a
reasonable observer would conclude that the Proclamation was
driven primarily by anti-Muslim animus, rather than by the
Government’s asserted national security justifications.” The
Proclamation, she added, “is nothing more than a ‘religious

/>gerrymander.'”
