CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN THE U.S.A.

I have been seeing more and more people in this country being persecuted for their Christian faith... Recently a fire chief in California published a book outlining his Christian beliefs. In his book he expressed the biblical view of homosexuality and gave scripture verses to support why he believes gay marriage is wrong. The mayor of his city read the book and promptly fired him from his long standing position as fire chief on the grounds of discrimination.... Even though he has never discriminated against anyone at anytime in his career... The Mayor said he may discriminate in the future simply because he believes in the bible view of homosexuality... The Chief is a black man as is the Mayor who fired him... Now come on, this is ridiculous! This is political correctness in the extreme... This is catering to the L.G.B.T. movement who only make up about 3% of our population... This is going too far and giving such a small minority in our country the power to punish people who don't agree with that life style. Namely Christians who far outnumber the gay and lesbian community...
We as Christians, do not hate gays and lesbians, but we do disagree with the practice of homosexuality because the God who created us says it's an abomination... It's that simple... We pray that these people will change their way of thinking and see the error of their ways and come to Christ as Lord and Savior...
 In this country our constitution guarantees all citizens freedom of religion, speech and freedom of the press, even if what we say or write might offend some one... That's just the way it is... We still have the right to express our views.... It's the same with all the other 'sins' we all commit one is no worse than another according to the bible... Greedy people, drunks, thieves, prostitutes, idolaters, slanderers, and swindlers are all in the same boat with the homosexuals... we are all sinners in need of a Savior.      

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God"   1 Corinthians 6:9-11  (N.I.V.)

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Thank You Father God for Your Word and all our blessings... Lord, I pray for Your people who are being persecuted in this country which is suppose to be the land of the free... The country You have blessed for so many years and is now turning against You and Your Word. Our government is being deceived by the enemy and our leaders are misguided and greedy for power and money and the praise of men... Help us Lord God to see the error of our ways and turn back to You and try to do and follow Your Word and Your Son Jesus, Yeshua our Lord and Savior... Thank You for Your mercy and Grace and all our blessings. Thank You for Your Word and Your Love for us. In the name of Jesus make it so...

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our Gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter."  2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 (N.I.V.)
