President Trump during his 2017 Thanksgiving address.
FLORIDA, November 23, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — In his first-ever Thanksgiving address as President, Donald Trump mentioned God eight times, reversing former President Obama’s refusal to mention the name of God even once in his Thanksgiving Proclamations since 2009.
President Trump in his address today thanked God for his providence and asking God to continue to bless the nation. He gave his address from his Mar-a-Lago Resort in Florida. A cheery crackling fire in the background set the thanksgiving mood.
Trump recounted how thanking God for his blessings and asking him for his continued blessing is part of the American way. He noted that when the pilgrims arrived in Plymouth almost four hundred years ago, their “first act was to pray.”

But people can change, you and I are proof of that because we have been changed by the Blood of Jesus, so in this instance with Donald we need to be watchful of his actions to make judgements by his actions in the present tense. Sure he committed sins in the past, so have I. Well on that note what does the Bible say about people claiming to be of the faith?
Amen. I totally agree. Take what people say with their lips with a grain of salt. He may know God but does God know him? That is the true question. A question we all need to check ourselves with as I do myself. This is all I am saying. He may be a true born again believer but I am telling yaw now. I am looking at his fruit.
