For years, people have demanded one thing from the Christ-followers and allowed those who persecute them to do as they please.
For example, a few years ago, the NFL banned anyone who brought a gJOHN 3:16 sign to a game. Of course, it wasnft long before they reverted to allowing people to bring those banners. The point is, nobody ever banned anyone from bringing any vulgar type sloganc
Though, in 1974, I remember a mathematics teacher sending a guy to the office because his t-shirt said, gHe** Yea, Allman Brothers Bandh When he returned, the offending word was covered with masking tape.
That was 1974 c Now, itfs 2013 and that type of thing will not draw the ire of any teacher because the schoolsf systems think of it as free speech. However, if your kid wears a t-shirt, with a Bible verse, he/she may be suspended or otherwise disciplined because people have been led to believe that gSeparation of Church and Stateh is in the U.S. Constitution. Nobody has taken the time to read that document, so people are left to assume a phrase from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury, CT Baptist Church is part of it.
The point Ifm making is this: People have demanded God doesnft have a place in schools, in municipal buildings, even in stores.
Why?
Because nobody has stopped to inspect the U.S. Constitution.
The world keeps saying theyfre right because of this, non-existent piece of legislation and Christians appear to be too scared to face them. So, for the past however many years, Christianity has been hogtied. Itfs as if our children are now in danger of suspension if they add the Name of the Most High God into a written paper, while if an unbelieving student goes around taking that same Name in vain, itfs considered art!

Why?
What better way to bring secular/socialism and destroy a great nation than to effectively tear down faith. It's been a slow successful game plan.
Yes, it has. As Gramsci called it, it's the "long march through the institutions."
If all Christians would stand together, it would be different. Imagine what would happen if all of us decided we were going to say what we wanted, when we wanted? Like the pastor that drew a line in the sand about the patriotic service he wanted to have on the beach. When city council said no, over fifteen hundred people showed up to participate and the council "changed their mind."
