Wow. What is this country coming to? The Pastor is absolutly right. Our forefathers would be in shock to see that any sub-governing body of the United States is directly prosecuting a person for the free practice of their own religion. Not to mention this is free practice in that person’s home. Our nation was founded on the basis of free religion. In fact, it was so important to this nation and it’s forefathers that it holds the first clause of the United States Bill of Rights:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …
The county in this article is in direct violation of the United States Consititution, and I ask again. What is this country coming to? Where do we get off prosecuting people who live under the freedoms this nation was established with. If we can’t back on our constitution, then what good is our government. I mean, the only reason I can even write an article like this is because of what the very next line of that first amendment reads:
[Congress shall make no law]… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; …
I promise you if any person or organization were to attempt to bring back slavery, he or it would be crushed under Amendment 13 instantly. However, because we’re dealing with religion, and more specifically, Christianity, it’s almost as if we forget why our country even became a country in the first place. Time and time again we see Christians being persecuted within our own borders. Kids are getting in trouble for praying or trying to hold religious functions in schools. We hear arguments that something “violates the separation of church and state,” often from people who have no clue what that separation even means. The idea was always to keep the government out of church. It was never to keep the Church out of government.
This country is slipping down a dangerous slope by forgetting its foundation. It’s something we as Christians need to be praying about. I think too many times, we hear things like this couple being forced to cease their Bible studies, and we lose more and more hope for our nation. I for one am standing firm… God wants to bless and he wants to revive… but he also wants us to believe in him for it.
God Bless America.
