If you seek the truest and greatest ally among cities, start here.
Psalms 46:10 KJV There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
Filthy lucre is an evil and harsh master that brings much self-affliction. Many live their lives for this master and then wonder why they are so afflicted. I do not work for Mammon or the puppet masters thereof; I work for God. I rest all my cares upon Him because He is all I desire. If you preach for the sake of filthy lucre, you will be enslaved to filth.
1 Peter 5:2 KJV Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
If you wear a crown of manipulation, power, and control now, you can forget about the crown hereafter.

1 Samuel 12:10 KJV And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
If Christ is not your king, you probably won't like the one you'll get.

Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
The government and people must not be divided over Christ. Nor should Christ be monopolized by a single denomination.
1 Samuel 12:14-15 KJV If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

Regardless of the path our nation chooses, I am committed to preaching the right way until my last breath.

1 Samuel 12:23 KJV Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
1 Samuel 12:24 KJV Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
1 Samuel 12:25 KJV But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

The house of Israel and the Jews do not receive a free salvation pass without Jesus Christ. Woe to the fools who preach and teach otherwise.
Ezekiel 9:9-10 KJV Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
