Dear Ron, I read with interest your latest blog , WANTED: A FEW MORE SCHOLARS/POPULARIZERS/ACTIVISTS! I had never even heard the term popularizer, and although I certainly guessed its definition , I looked it up ..

1 to make popular; make attractive to the general public 2 to make or cause to become easily understandable or acceptable

Sir, I know I have been harsh with you for your stand for backing Joe Biden and consequently by default supporting the far left agenda of abortion, LGBTQ , open borders , anti law and order and on and on; the policies that are destroying

America . I have indeed been harsh but not because I hate you ,or my own beloved Mother ,who follows and votes your mindset. The fact is I love you, as a fellow Christian and as man made in the image if God. Therefore I speak thevtruth to you.

Jeremiah the prophet, my name sake, immediately came to my mind as an example of a man that pleased God rather than the general public. Also these verses sum up who Jeremiah was and what his ministry was about.

1 Thessalonians 2:4

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

Galatians 1:10

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Now I say these things not to hurt you , but if they do and cause you to rethink your work of popularizing , then I rejoice .

One of the biggest problems we face in America right now is the homeless situation . I seriously doubt mixing evangelism with activism ,socialism and popularism will help combat the problem . Cities like LA and SF are in absolute confusion, being overun by a huge homeless problem most of which us due to drug addiction and the consequetial mental illness addiction brings.... self destructive behavior! LA is currently trying to hide the problem for the upcoming Superbowl rather than solve it .This is a pattern . Coddling these people has only made the problem grow. They are allowed to camp ,litter, urinate and defecate any where they want without consequenses. They are not required to obey the law ! Do I hate them because I tell the truth about the problem ? In no way .

Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Most cities had and have Vagrancy Laws which now are ignored or done away with . Enforcing the law rather than supporting self destructive drug addiction is the key . Murders of innocent victims like the UCLA student in LA, are the direct result of left wing politicians and their social Godless policies. It is abundently clear ...

So in conclusion I hope rhis letter makes you rethink your position on popularuzing and politics . You have never responded to me and I invite you to do so .

In Christ , Jeremy Bert
