Church buildings in San Antonio became targets of vandalism this past weekend as “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump spread across major U.S. cities. Two congregations \u2014 Community Bible Church and Church Unlimited Stone Oak \u2014 were defaced with anti-Trump graffiti that pastors say reveals a deeper spiritual battle.<\/p>\n

Community Bible Church Pastor Ed Newton shared images of the damage on Facebook, showing spray-painted messages including “Jesus wants Trump gone” and “No king but God.” Newton said the hateful graffiti was not only damaging to property but also a direct attack on the Christian faith.<\/p>\n

“To spew evil, spray paint this on our church, in a form of hate, causes me to question the very belief system of [those] who participate, condone, and not condemn this kind of hate language and ideology,” Newton wrote.<\/p>\n
