"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
- Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President
It has been said that if we do not do all that we need to in order to protect our religious freedom, we are just one generation away from losing it all.
Encroachments happen because we have our eyes closed and our backs turned. This was Adam's problem with the enemy. Adam had the authority to run the enemy out of the garden as soon as he recognized him. But he chose to say nothing and do nothing.
Pacifists choose to sit idly by and end up losing everything.
The Liberty Institute (www.libertyinstitute.org) has published a survey entitled "Undeniable: A Survey of Hostility to Religion in America" that includes 600 encroachments on Religious Freedom.
Among the 600 encroachments are cases of an anti-prayer group intimidate small Wisconsin town to abandon City Council Prayer and a teacher preventing a kindergarten student from praying before snacks.
A few years ago here in Georgia, a lay minister who was employed with the Georgia Department of Public Health was ordered by the state’s attorney general to relinquish his sermons to the government, according to federal court documents. It is believed that he was fired because of his belief on homosexual marriage. He sued the state for religious discrimination. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/fired-for-preaching-georgia-dumps-doctor-over-church-sermons
Every Christian in America should be required to read "Undeniable: A Survey of Hostility to Religion in America" in order to become stirred into action. https://firstliberty.org/rights/undeniable-the-survey-of-hostility-to-religion-in-america/
We can and should pray. But we must begin to stand up and speak up while we have the right to.
"Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged." - Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S. President
Ask yourself this...
Did you ever think that freedom of religion would be attacked the way it has been in our lifetime?
What are some of the reasons that the church has remained silent?
What can you do to strengthen the body of Christ against the attacks of the spirit of antichrist in our nation?
