Biblical Truth vs. Apostasy: Amanda Grace Stands Up Against Rogue Preacher
In another controversial moment from an apostate teacher, Jeff Hood, a Little Rock preacher and theologian-in-residence at Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church, used his pulpit during a service called “Resistance Sunday” to sharply critique and even curse President Donald Trump.
The event, held a day before Martin Luther King Jr. Day and just before Trump’s second inauguration, was marked by Hood’s fiery rhetoric, calling for active resistance to Trump’s policies.
Speaking from a pulpit adorned with a banner reading “RESIST,” Hood addressed the congregation: “Who is ready to go to prison?” he asked, before describing Trump as the “big orange elephant in the room.” Hood’s words left little room for neutrality: “People say ‘Is Donald Trump Hitler?’ I don’t know, but I sure…know he ain’t Jesus.” Hood’s homily critiqued Trump’s policies, including immigration enforcement and the death penalty, and condemned wealthy oligarchs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos for allegedly pulling the strings of power.

Pastor Samuel Rodriguez: A Biblical View on Sanctuary, Justice and Immigration Reform
Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, a prominent voice in the Hispanic Christian community and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, recently spoke with CBN about the Trump administration’s directive allowing ICE agents to target traditionally protected spaces, including churches, schools and hospitals.
This decision has sparked significant debate, especially within faith communities that are deeply concerned about its potential impact on illegal immigrants. Rodriguez’s perspective offers a nuanced balance between supporting justice and advocating for compassion, rooted in biblical principles.
Rodriguez made it clear that the administration’s focus is not on deporting individuals who have lived law-abiding lives for decades. “They’re coming after the pedophiles, they’re coming after the gangbangers, they’re coming after the cartel, the coyotes, the human traffickers. That’s who they’re coming after,” he said. For Rodriguez, this targeted approach aligns with the biblical mandate for justice, as seen in Romans 13:3-4, which reminds us that authorities are meant to be “a terror” to wrongdoers, not those who do right.
Jonathan Cahn’s Prophetic Word: Donald Trump’s Return
As Donald Trump steps back onto the political stage, many are asking: Is this merely a political comeback, or is there a deeper prophetic significance?
Bestselling author and prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn believes Trump’s return mirrors a biblical pattern—one that aligns with the story of King Jehu, the warrior king of Israel who rose to power to drive out corruption and idolatry.
“Daniel 2:21: ‘He changes the times and seasons. He removes kings and He establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, knowledge to those who have understanding. He removes kings and He places kings in power,'” says Cahn.
