“Jesus Is Lord!” Say It Loud If You Believe It

I am seriously concerned about the infiltration of Islam into America and I am not alone. I plan to address this concern in detail in the New Year. For now, as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I want to focus on the momentous event that separated world history into BC and AD and literally is confirmed every time we acknowledge the current year 2025 AD since the birth of the Savior of the world! That should take your breath away as it does mine just writing about such an historic event that is joyous to Christians and denounced by those who worship manmade gods or no god at all.

On December 11, 2025, FlashPoint titled their program Warning to America! Christian twin brother pastors, Andrew and Martin Sedra, who fled their homeland of Egypt to Australia because Egypt is taken over by Islamists, told Americans our time is short to prevent the same thing happening in our country. Islam is not a religion. It’s a militant ideology followed by every Muslim who lives by the Quran.

The Sedra pastors and their wives are trying to warn Americans of the short window we have in America, as they watch the infiltration of Islam into Australia along with growing antisemitism which resulted in the tragic terrorist attack on Jews at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach that wounded 40 and killed at least 16 people, including two prominent rabbis and a ten-year old little girl, as of this writing.

When asked what Christians could do now about this impending threat, the Sedras responded with three things:

1.  Start saying “Jesus” in the public square. “Jesus is King!” Say it. “Jesus is Lord!” Say it. “Jesus saves!” Say it.
2. Get involved in politics because Islamists and antisemites are invading politics as we’ve watched in recent elections.
3. Vote! Vote your morals and Christian biblical worldview in EVERY election!

What better time than this month to implement #1. Saying “Merry Christmas” is a good start, but when’s the last time you said the name of Jesus outside of church or the safety of your home? Even changing the salutation of Merry Christmas to “Happy Birthday Jesus” is saying the name of Jesus publically.

Or emphasize Christ in “Merry CHRISTmas.” Satan hates to hear the name of Jesus so all the more reason for us to shout His name from the rooftops or at least on the streets, while shopping, in conversations, to strangers, in emails, texts, phone messages, on social media . . . Let the name of Jesus roll off your tongue as easily as Merry Christmas.

Too often Christians worry about “offending” someone with their faith. How offensive is it to offer someone the love and hope of Jesus Christ who offers salvation and eternal life? If we’re afraid to say Jesus, we need to check our own heart and the sincerity of our own faith and belief in the Gospel. It’s time to read the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Become immersed in what true faith and courage of conviction looks like. Then read Acts, Romans, and the Epistles of Paul who considered it pure joy to suffer for Christ.

What if these biblical emissaries of Christianity had remained silent in the face of political or cultural correctness or intimidation? You can be sure that Muslims are NOT afraid to say the name of their false god Allah in public. In fact, they’re out shouting it in the streets! The best counter to their militant ideology is to shout right back “Jesus loves you!”

On a recent Facebook post, I wrote a reminder that in July 2025 President Trump signed an order allowing Federal Employees to Display Bibles & Crosses and share their faith openly at work. One headline read “A Step That Divided a Nation.” A Facebook friend who goes by “Jesse Speaks” wrote the following comments about this faith liberation by President Trump.

“Under the Trump administration, federal employees were officially permitted to express their Christian faith openly in the workplace — including the right to keep a Bible on their desk, wear a cross, and share beliefs with coworkers without fear of punishment.

Supporters hailed it as a victory for religious liberty. Critics called it favoritism. But for millions of believers, it was simple: The freedom to follow Jesus publicly — not silently.

For decades, Christians in government positions have felt pressure to hide faith behind professionalism, secular policy, and “neutrality.” Many feared that scripture, prayer, or even a small cross around the neck could lead to disciplinary action. That era shifted — and one administration opened the doors wider to religious transparency.

Some celebrated.

Some protested.

Few were indifferent.

Because this was more than policy — it was a cultural battle over who gets to speak and who must stay quiet. A world that celebrates every identity demanded Christians whisper theirs. The Trump era said otherwise.

Still, the question remains — Why did this spark so much outrage?

Why is public Christianity treated as a threat when every other worldview, religion, and lifestyle is welcomed without apology?

The divide proves something important:

Faith isn’t disappearing — it’s being contested.

And when a government allows Bibles in plain sight instead of under desks, it exposes a deeper tension beneath American culture:

• Will faith be allowed to stand in daylight?

• Or must Christianity remain tolerated only in private?

Whether one supports or opposes Trump, the conversation he forced into the open will not disappear:

Should believers hide their faith to make culture comfortable —or should culture learn to live with faith unashamed?

This is bigger than politics.

It’s about public allegiance to Christ in a world that wants quiet Christians.”

Here was my opening salutation to sharing the above “Jesse speaks” Facebook post.

This is good news!! Don’t hide your faith or allow yourself to be bullied into silence especially at this time of year, or at any time. If Jesus is Lord of your life, live like it boldly, bravely, brightly!!!

The 2025 National Christmas Tree Lighting Focused on the Birth of Jesus!

President Trump gave a mini-sermon at the Christmas national tree lighting this year sharing the true meaning of Christmas and quoting a Scripture from John. He emphasized the significance of the birth of Jesus. Yes, President Trump spoke reverently about Jesus in the public square. One reporter captured this beautiful moment. Here are some excerpts from his article.

“President Donald Trump leaned fully into faith and tradition during the 103rd National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on Thursday night, using the annual event to deliver one of his most overtly spiritual messages in years. With the nation’s capital glowing behind him, Trump centered the night around a line that quickly became the emotional anchor of the event: Trump’s declaration that ‘the birth of Jesus turned human history from night to day. His Word and His example call us to love one another, to serve one another, to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God.’”

Trump anchored his message in Scripture. “This beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the words of the gospel of John 1:4, ‘In him was life and that life was the light of all mankind.’ Beautiful words,” Trump said.

“As his speech built toward its emotional core, President Donald Trump delivered the line that defined the evening, a sweeping, almost poetic declaration about the significance of Jesus Christ’s birth more than 2,000 years ago.”

“During this holy season, Christians everywhere rejoice at the miracle in Bethlehem… when the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be with us,” Trump said. 

Trump spoke not just as a political figure, but as someone trying to recenter the national conversation on faith, unity, and moral responsibility.

Christmas tree lightings at the White House are usually ceremonial, but Trump’s decision to anchor the evening around Jesus’ impact on human history, and the call to “love and serve one another,” struck a chord with many in the crowd and with me. Regardless of what your opinion is of our President, he is NOT afraid to honor Jesus Christ by name for all the world to hear. Are you?

How often have you heard a President publically mention the name of Jesus while sharing the gospel at a national event watched around the world? You certainly didn’t hear it from the previous administration. President Trump even told us to let our light shine.

So I’m saying please shine for Jesus in your workplace, neighborhood, home, and daily life. He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Jesus is the Lord of our life in the Thompson household, and I hope He is in yours too. If so, let others know. Don’t keep it to yourself. Jesus is coming back soon. Help others be ready when He does.

Merry Blessed CHRISTmas! Jesus Christ is Lord of the Universe!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Is. 9:6
