This is a post from the Family Research Council web site:

“President Obama may not think America is a Christian nation — but the majority of people want it to be. According to the Barna Group’s annual ‘State of the Bible’ report, most Americans think the country would be better off if they read and applied God’s word to daily life. And that includes politicians. More than half of Americans think our elected officials would be ‘more effective’ if they read Scripture every day. In an election cycle when we’ve witnessed some of the worst personal attacks of any campaigns, it would certainly add some civility to the race. Despite the significant cultural shift in the country, 80 percent still see the Bible as sacred literature — which, the majority believes, has too little influence on society.

‘From the Ten Commandments to the Golden Rule, the Bible certainly contains principles for political discourse — even for the non-Christian,’ said a Barna spokeswoman. ‘And for Americans, who are steeped in both a historical and present Christian cultural influence, the Bible remains an important moral document, not just a religious one.’ So if a majority of Americans think the Bible and its teachings would have a positive influence on our public life, why have we allowed a vocal minority to purge it from public life? If our country truly is ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people’ isn’t it time to do something about that? Stand up for what you believe in! As an American, it’s your right — and as a Christian, it’s your responsibility.”

I posted this on Facebook, and was encouraged by the support I got:

“I am about to say something so controversial, so forbidden by society at large, it may shock many. I can’t say that I am sorry, because I am not… I have had people tell me I should not say this lest it impact my career, my friendships, in fact, everything. If you are as bold, and brazen, as I am, then be prepared to face persecution. But, here goes… are you ready?

I believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired Word of God. It says what it means, and means what it says. My personal thoughts, opinions, and feelings mean NOTHING compared to the infallible Word of God. I read it, believe it, and live it. I allow God’s Word to inform my thinking, my beliefs, and my opinions.
There, I have said it. Deal with it!”

We will be persecuted due to our stand of God’s Word. But, so be it! God’s unchanging Word is true!

The Supreme Court just ruled that un-Biblical marriage is the “law” of the land. The BIBLE states that marriage is between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court now disagrees with THE BIBLE. Guess what I believe? I believe the Bible. I don’t care one whit what the Supreme Court has said. I will always believe and profess the Bible.

It is a sad day for America… I weep for my country.

I am a supporter of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) and Jay Sekulow sent this email out recently:

“Bill,

It’s a case that could devastate religious freedom in the military.

A Marine was ordered to remove a Bible verse from her desk because her commanding officer “didn’t like their tone.”

The officer forcibly removed the verse, cursed at the Bible (with profanity I won’t repeat), and had her court martialed.

The verse? “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)

Unbelievably, a military court held that this verse was based on “subjective beliefs” and not “part of a religious belief system.”

That’s right; the Bible isn’t part of being a Christian.

This is intolerable. If it stands, this ruling could eviscerate religious freedom in the military.

We’re aggressively fighting back. In just days, we’re planning to file a critical brief representing key Members of Congress to reverse this ruling.

Will you defend the religious freedom of those who defend our liberty?

This Charisma Magazine article offers some hope that we can send a message that Christians aren’t “less-than-loving,” or “extremists.”

One Way to Stop Obama’s Attacks on Christianity

“At an Easter Prayer Breakfast, President Obama attacked Christians.

He called Christians ‘less-than-loving.’

He did it surrounding the day Christians celebrate the ultimate gift of love—the day Christ died because He loved us.

It’s offensive and uncalled for.

But this isn’t the first time he’s insulted Christians.

At the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this year, he demanded Christians get off their ‘high horse’ about Christian persecution. And his Administration has labeled Christians in the military as ‘extremists.’

We’re fighting back—defending Christians—demanding President Obama apologize.

Add your name to our open letter:

Mr. President, Christians aren’t ‘extremists.’ We aren’t unloving. We’re not on a ‘high horse’ about persecution. Every day Christians die for their faith. They sacrifice their lives for others. Your comments were wrong and hurtful. Stop maligning the Christian faith.

The Bible is plain on a homosexual lifestyle. It is sin. God calls it an abomination. But a recent article about a “Christian author” that appeared on Oprah, said of the homosexual lifestyle: “I think culture is already there and the church will continue to be even more irrelevant when it quotes letters from 2,000 years ago as their best defense, when you have in front of you flesh-and-blood people who are your brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and co-workers and neighbors and they love each other and just want to go through life with someone.”

Excuse me? What you call “irrelevant letters from 2,000 years ago,” I call the HOLY BIBLE! If you don’t believe in God, or His Word, and the truth that is contained therein… then, yes, believe anything that you want… but PLEASE don’t call yourself a “Christian.” Maybe an author, but NOT a “Christian author!”

Believing the Bible is what believers (Christians) do! Speaking of which, here’s what one of those 2,000 year old letters (from Paul) says:

Rom 1:22 – 32 – “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

I got this email from our friends at NC Values Coalition:

“What would you say if I told you that an entire denomination purporting to hold to Christian teachings has filed suit to force same-sex marriage on North Carolina?

Well, that’s exactly what happened today. The United Church of Christ, several members of the clergy, and 6 same-sex couples have filed suit in federal district court in Charlotte seeking to overturn North Carolina’s marriage laws, so that same-sex couples can get married in the church—of all places!

The North Carolina Values Coalition is on the front lines of this battle. We have been answering calls from the press all day today, but we need your help to continue fighting! [http://ncvalues.org/donate/]

This is the third lawsuit filed since August of last year seeking to strike down North Carolina’s marriage laws and impose same-sex marriage on an unwilling population. And it is the first lawsuit in the entire country initiated by a church denomination and members of the clergy as the aggressors in marriage re-definition.

This is sadly, and predictably, the “lawsuit of the week” filed by those who want to impose same-sex marriage on North Carolina, in spite of the fact that 61% of the voters passed the Marriage Amendment 2 years ago. North Carolinians had good reason to protect marriage in our Constitution, recognizing that the union of a man and woman plays an irreplaceable role in the health of society, first of which is the protection of children.

Moreover, it’s both ironic and sad that an entire religious denomination and its clergy who purport holding to Christian teachings on marriage would look to the courts to justify their errant beliefs. These individuals are simply revisionists that distort the teaching of Scripture to justify sexual revolution, not marital sanctity.

We believe the people of North Carolina have spoken on this issue, and the federal courts have no business overturning the will of the people.

We will continue to stand strong in defense of marriage as God designed it—one man and one woman! Please help us continue this fight by making a donation today!

This is so sad on so many levels! If so-called Christians won’t uphold the truths of the Word of God, who will? Do they simply erase Romans 1:21-32 out of their Bibles?

Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
