One of the greatest honors of my life was leading the dedication of President Donald J. Trump’s statue to the world.
What amazes me is how quickly some people have compared this beautiful statue, created and made possible by more than 6,000 patriots, to a golden calf or idol worship.
Let me be very clear.
We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.
The Word of God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3.
It also says, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” Matthew 4:10.
That is the line.
Honor is not worship.
Respect is not idolatry.
Celebration is not bowing down to a false god.
Romans 13:7 says, “Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.”
Giving honor where honor is due is biblical.
Bowing down and worshipping an idol is sinful.
There is a major difference.
This statue was not created for worship. It was created as a symbol of resilience, patriotism, courage, and gratitude. It was created to honor a man whom many may disagree with, but millions of Americans believe has done extraordinary things to make this nation stronger.
People celebrate athletes, musicians, entertainers, and cultural icons while they are still alive. Michael Jordan has a statue in Chicago. Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Ed Sheeran, and many others have been honored publicly in different ways. Yet Christians were not screaming “golden calf” over those moments.
So why now?
You may dislike President Trump. That is your choice.
But you are in gross error if you think for one second that I worship this magnificent statue or anything made by human hands.
Acts 17:24 says, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.”
My worship belongs to God.
My gratitude can still honor people.
My faith is in Christ.
My respect for a leader does not replace my reverence for the Lord.
Before you judge, condemn, or spread false accusations, use spiritual discernment.
1 John 4:1 says, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.”
Some of you know the voice of the Holy Spirit. Listen to that voice before you give room to the devil through lies, slander, and false judgment.
Ephesians 4:27 says, “Nor give place to the devil.”
We can disagree politically and still tell the truth spiritually.
This was not idol worship.
This was honor.
This was gratitude.
This was patriotism.
And above all, Jesus Christ is still Lord.

On May 1st, Viviana aka “Vivi” joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love. 💕
She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister. We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble.
Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy - I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good.🙏

The Trump Admin has very intentionally ENDED electric vehicle mandates because we strongly believe in consumer choice and that manufacturers should be building what consumers want to buy rather than what politicians and bureaucrats want to demand.

I asked the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war in Iran and as gas prices soar.
He said the question was “stupid” and a “disgrace to the country” saying he’s “fixing” the reflecting pool.

Reporter: Why focus on all these projects as gas prices are soaring? Trump: Such a stupid question. You can understand dirt better than I can baby but I don’t allow it.

There is no oversight.
