The Battle Has Begun

Has anyone else noticed that the homosexual activists who are demanding so much tolerance, acceptance and understanding are the most intolerant, and the most unwilling group of all to accept or try to understand anyone who disagrees with them? When Reggie White simply stated what the Bible says about homosexuality CBS dropped Reggie's contract as a sports commentator because they were afraid of the backlash from the homosexual community. Then companies who Reggie had endorsements also dropped him because of the same threats. Any leader who stands up to speak out against the homosexual agenda is assaulted with all manner of attacks, including death threats. That too is terrorism, and we must fight against this terrorism as well.

Those who dropped Reggie's contracts admitted that they were afraid of the harassment from the homosexual community, but they did not fear any repercussions from Christians because "Christians won't do anything." Presently we have to admit that they're right about it being unlikely for Christians to do anything. We let them take the foundations of our freedom of speech, and our freedom of religion, without doing anything about it. How can we call ourselves shepherds of the sheep if we let the wolves come in and ravage the sheep without doing anything about it? How can we call ourselves prophets and watchmen if we do not sound the alarm?

People are concerned about us losing personal liberties during this time of national crisis, but I am just as concerned about the ones we have allowed to be lost without the crisis. Both our freedom of speech and freedom of religion have already been taken from the public life of America, and they are now being attacked in our private life as well. If you have not noticed there are homosexual thought police that are not only in control of Hollywood, but are obviously seeking control of all public speech in America. Immorality is now being forced on America with much more intolerance than any "right wing Christians" have ever tried to impose morality. I personally do not believe that either group is right to impose its agenda on others, and that both extremes are a threat to who we are as a nation, and to the atmosphere of liberty that the Holy Spirit requires.

But how are we going to fight this war that is eroding the very fabric of freedom and morality in America? Christians must now stand up. We must resist the immoral tyranny that is being forced on the nation, and we must rise up to address that which has opened the door for these tragedies to come upon us from Columbine to the WTC­which has been our allowing the secularists and immoralists to remove not only prayer, but all mention of God from our schools and public places. We can trace the meltdown of morality in our nation from the date of the removal of prayer from our schools. Sin does separate us from God, which opens the door wide for the devil, and he comes to destroy.
