0:00.0	A lot of people these days are claiming to be Christians and evangelicals even.
0:07.0	So many people who claim to be Christians, and you look closer and the lives are devoid of Christian conduct.
0:17.0	They live lives that has no evidence of the Christian faith, but they say I'm a Christian.
0:26.7	Many politicians always discover churches around election season.
0:31.6	To be sure, there are some who are true believers, and I will not take that away from them,
0:36.9	election or no election.
0:38.9	But all of this is far cry from the true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

No. For true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, their conduct is not to manipulate people and manipulate even God. There are some people try to manipulate God,

2:33.6	That is truly what motivates every single believer in this life.
2:39.8	The Lord is near.
