Don't give up Reverend! More preachers like you are needed for the gospel of Jesus Christ!.

[ranrod]

Thou shall not worship false idols or false prophets. And as a NC native living in Trump county, I thank the pastor for saying this.

[Catlover-luwy]

I live in NC and am so proud of this pastor! Finally, someone who has the guts to tell the truth that politics and religion need to be kept separate.

[tanyashedd]

Keep preaching the Word and telling the Truth. God had not given us the Spirit of fear!

[graceblodgett]

Amen - finally a pastor who knows the Bible and has a spine that will stand up for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not the cult of Trump!

[sherrylynn]

Thank you Jesus!! This preacher has not just the truth…HE’S GOT BACKBONE!!

[miguelnicolini]

This pastor is not on sale - he is preaching the true gospel, congratulations!!!! We need more pastors like him !

[Michelle-octy]

I regretfully checked out and left a long time ago. This pastor has given me new hope. Thanks for sharing this sermon, MSNBC. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Pastor Livingston.

[kelliesmith]

Now that's good preaching!!! Finally there is a man of God who will tell the truth and not worry about offending politicians or even some evangelicals.

[jamesburgin]

If Evangelical pastors had bothered to speak up 8 years ago, they wouldn't have lost their credibility and congregations in the first place. Politics has no place in church.

[jeannemara]

I absolutely loved this! Finally, a man who is not swayed by fear, envy, or hatred and thinks one's soul is more important than politics.

[robinalecia]

Lord if I ever make it to North Carolina I’m going to visit his Church and pray I get to shake his hand . He told them the truth God is truth

[pamelariley]

AMEN!! Those are the words of a Christian Leader, not an Evangelical, a Maga or a politician!!!

[janisfuller]

Thank You for standing up for the Word of God!!

[GeneTurner-ggyo]

This paster is only stating the obvious!! GOSH have these people lost their minds!!! CULTISH!!!

[eliasarechiga]

I’m not Christian, but finally a Christian speaks the truth. People are scared, scared of WHAT!

[sharonmckay]

Finally! A Pastor speaks up. We need so much more of this.

[HoneyDems]
