In America today we are seeing an increase of antagonism and prejudice toward Christian views and principles. It is true that we have not lost our right to choose which religion we want to follow. We can still vote with regards to our religious viewpoints in mind, openly worship in a manner in which we choose, and state our religious opinions openly. However, all one has to do is watch the news on television, pick up a newspaper, or follow the majority postings on a social media site to see that Christianity is slowly being ostracized in American culture. It is time for Americans to pay attention, speak up, and start realizing that we are living in a changing world that is not catered to the promise of religious freedom that our ancestors fought so hard to establish. We must choose whom we will serve, stand for what is right, and ever look toward our Heavenly Father for guidance in the trying, scary, and troubling times and rest assured that Man’s law may change, but God’s never does. Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. read more from Keitha at Tuckasegee Country Living and Keitha Parton-Official Mary Kay Consultant 59
