It is heartbreaking when Christians believe it is okay to use dishonest means to achieve victory over evil. One does not gain victory over evil through deceit. Dinesh D'Souza has destroyed his Christian testimony and done great harm to the cause of Christ by allowing this charade to continue until forced in court to confess.
I have absolutely no animosity toward my brother in Christ. Just a great deal of sadness. He will have to endure the shame for his actions but each of us that claim the name of Christ need to lift him up in fervent prayer.
Folks, this is not how we win! This is not how the founders of our nation created the greatest Republic in the history of the world.
According to John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I believe this to mean, not only, freedom from the penalties of sin but freedom from the penalties of men. Yes, that freedom sometimes comes at a great price but only truth can bring true liberty. We're losing our liberties more with each passing day. Is it because of an absence of truth?
The only complete truth is found in the perfectly preserved Word of God. Psalms 12:6&7 (KJV) The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Those perfectly preserved Words of God are available for all.
There was a day when the pulpits in America stood up and proclaimed the truth. There was a day when Christians refused to make excuses for the lack of virtue displayed by public officials. When will we, once again, require virtue in exchange for our support and our vote? Job 4:8 (KJV) Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

D'Souza takes responsibility for campaign cash
Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, whose movie “2016: Obama’s America” rocked the 2012 presidential election campaign, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two charges of illegal campaign contributions.
In a hearing before U.S. District Judge Richard Berman that lasted just under an hour, he admitted reimbursing friends for making contributions to Wendy Long’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2012.
He confirmed that he reimbursed two friends $10,000 in cash for their contributions to the campaign. The federal limit for individuals making contributions was $5,000.
The plea bargain had been expected. In a statement announcing the Tuesday hearing, the U.S. attorney’s office used language “that typically indicates that a plea is expected to occur,” according to a New York Times analysis.
Long was challenging Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, a Democrat, in the 2012 race and the filmmaker had friends contribute $20,000 then reimbursed them in cash, according to details available through the court hearing.
The contributions to the campaign were made Aug. 19 and 20, 2012.
