What must the pulpits of America do to balance between right actions and words?
From a church perspective, where are we going to head with soft words, fear of communicating truth, and making words more important than actions?
What is it about society at large that causes our politicians (or pastors in the pulpit) to completely miss what’s going on in our world because they’re so fearful of saying the wrong thing?
Where is this emphasis on one’s words, particularly those that are politically incorrect, going to take us, if not corrected?
In the New Testament book of James, the distinction between the importance of words versus that of actions is clearly seen.

In November 2015 there was an article in the Washington Times with the title “U.S. ‘discriminates’ against Christian refugees, accepts 96% Muslims, 3% Christians.” The author of that article pointed out that of the thousands of Syrian refugees being accepted to our country, only 3% were Christians, and 96% were Muslims. In an interesting turn of events an article earlier this month in the Washington Examiner has this title “In switch, Trump favors Christian refugees 6-1 over Muslims.” In it the author, Paul Bedard, writes, “Since the fiscal year began, 60 percent of new refugees admitted into the United States have been Christian, and just 13 percent Muslim.” Why has there been a major shift in refugees under the Trump administration?
