Dr. Paul Robinson – What Is Becoming of America and Christianity?

Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Leader — Reed Richmond

Speaker — Dr. Paul Robinson

Title — What Is Becoming of America and Christianity?

Topic — America is looking more like Turkey and Hungary than the America our Founders pledged their personal fortunes and very lives to create. It is not the America so many individuals and families have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and preserve. We watch as America drifts closer not only toward an autocratic state but a theocratic one as well. The line between church and state is disappearing. Even Christianity as practiced by so many is not the Matthew 5 and 25 that Jesus spoke about. Project 2025 has replaced Matthew 5/25 as the holy book in many Christian circles. Is there a way to reverse these disturbing trends or must we just let the so-called patriots and so-called Christians continue to corrupt that which is sacred? Let’s explore WWJS and WWJD.

Bio — At 83 Paul Robinson is continuing to wake up. He has been a student of life since beginning to wake up at the age of 17 when he started college. Being warned by his fundamentalist preacher not to listen to the more liberal college professors, he was compelled to listen and to examine his beliefs. He has learned to listen to all points of view while sifting through them for the ones that are life affirming and rational. He loves all humanity and all life forms (except mosquitoes). He enjoyed a career in teaching and psychology for over fifty years. He continues to read and write and speak to groups. He grew up in rural Southeast Ohio in a family of ten children, a family poor in material possessions but rich in love. He was blessed with a loving mother who along with the help of loving older brothers and sisters raised her children as a single parent at the death of his father when he was three. He loves sharing ideas with people and being challenged by their perspectives. He is enjoying meeting new people in this church where he feels right at home.
