We live in a land of freedoms. These freedoms are quickly being taken away from us. It started with prayer in the schools, and has escalated. Once the door is open to satan, it's hard to get it closed. People didn't rally behind the Truth and try and keep the prayer in schools. We let one woman, a professed atheist, petition the courts to get it stopped, and she succeeded! There has been a petition by another atheist in California to stop children in public schools saying ?under God? in the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag.

Taking out that wording won't stop anyone from believing in God, but it gives another leeway for the devil to work his bad deeds in our lives!

Freedom is no longer a given here in America. Today, a freedom and right; tomorrow, it's gone! We are now seeing the courts pass laws in order to get their hands on our private property. We think we own land, but, if this stays on the books and isn't counteracted by the Congress, then we are doomed to lose anything that . . .

We still have the freedom to worship in this country, unlike many other countries in the world. We should be down on our knees, thanking GOD for that ability. We should also be praying that He show us Christians mercy and grace through all these troubling times.  We could face censorship in our churches (it's happening!), where you won't be able to speak the way you'd like, to teach the TRUTH fo the WORD of God.  His Word says He will never forsake His people.  Let us hold on to this truth!

Deuteronomy 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
