USA: Adopting policies and laws that ensure self-destruction
Posted on 07/21/2015 3:51:49 PM PDT by Hostage
Our country was founded by people who risked everything for religious liberty.
So that’s why when Ted heard the story of Dick and Betty Odgaard, he knew he had to do something. The Iowa couple is shutting down their business as a result of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission’s efforts to force them to host a same-sex wedding ceremony in violation of their religious beliefs.
He recently sat down with Dick and Betty allowing them to share their story with America. I hope you’ll watch.

For those that are prone to cry, be sure to have a tissue handy.
However much people weep, God weeps even more.
The challenge is for us to look at our hearts. Have we been robbing the Lord of our own hearts? If we will not be lights lit up through love of God and thus of what God wants, then we have little basis to complain of the darkness.
And as woesome as this is, the horrible pits of “abortion” are far more woesome. This might push someone out of a business. What about something that pushes someone out of a life?
Yes, God has stooped to our selfishness by allowing to rise an abomination that actually gets in our faces (the unborn child doesn’t). He is humble, He is not proud about how He gets our notice if it is necessary. But once we take notice, we need to be begging God for mercy to prevail upon this suffering country.

Amen and agreed. Thank you for posting.

Well, I hope to edify. Sometimes I just stumble over my own feet in the attempt... but I am convinced God wants everybody to get on board with His love. And in order for people to do that sometimes they need to understand that there are some things that they need to yield to and call upon the Lord to stop and reverse.
I don’t want to blame anybody here for deeming this a valid concern. In fact, it IS a valid concern if not the biggest one. But I’m looking at the bigger picture too and hoping others will, as well.
Ted Cruz Ping! Agree cruz or lose in the larger sense of the cross of Christ (in Spanish this is cruz).
If not for that sacrifice, we’d all have no other option open than to go to hell in handbaskets.
Let’s not lean too much on a politician though, faithful as he may be to God. Let us dedicate our faiths back to the Lord too. The Constitution reads as We The People, not We The Politicians.
And, through taxation, my country is making me complicit in the harvesting and sale of human baby parts. Am I powerless to stop being robbed of my money and morals in this way?
Some speak of going Galt... while that is an atheistic parable, there still can be some merit in the idea.
Bflr.
