The freedom of religion is being pushed out of public life, schools and even churches.
Our Founding Fathers considered religious liberty our ‘first freedom,’ and the bedrock upon which all other freedoms rest. They understood that one’s right to worship God and follow his conscience according to the principles of his religious faith was foundational to civic tranquility. This is one of the most important distinctions that makes America an exceptional nation — if not the most important.
But something is really wrong. The Obama administration wants to force religious organizations and Christian business owners to provide insurance for birth control and abortion-inducing drugs in direct violation of their religious beliefs. The military conducted training sessions that labeled Evangelical Christians and Catholics as examples of religious extremists. The Internal Revenue Service launched investigations into pro-life organizations, demanding to know the contents of their prayers.
This is happening right here, right now, in the United States of America. We are under attack from within — from an enemy who wants to remove any mention of God from the public marketplace.
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone — except God 🙁
We ask God to bless America, but we elected a president whose pastor asked God to damn America. We ask God to bless America, but we slaughter millions of unborn babies. We ask God to bless America, but we silence His children.
God bless America? We should be on our knees asking for His mercy instead.
It’s time for a new generation of believers to rise up and restore the dream of our Founding Fathers – the dream of a nation where all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. The dream of a people who declare we are still one nation under God.
