How Will You Handle Persecution?

Popular Thinking

American Christians realize that persecution is not far away. This is because today’s culture is hostile towards Christians. The secular world believes we are responsible for the Supreme Court overturn of Roe v Wade. They are half-expecting the same thing will happen to same gender marriages. They are alarmed about this.

A BIG THUMBS UP to the U.S. Supreme Court for overruling Roe v. Wade.¹ Last post I wrote that people and animal rights are getting crazier the older I get. The elimination of one of these rights is not only “music to my ears” it’s right on!

DOES THIS WORLD seem upside down? It does to me. The longer I live the crazier it gets. What I find mind-boggling is the insistence of people and animal rights groups. There are rights for everything from chickens to protected-people.

Christians Are too Political

Christian evangelicals helped vote Ronald Reagan, both Bushes and Donald Trump into office.
