A first grader in California has been told she’s not permitted to talk about the Bible at school. A teacher at Temecula Valley School told her first grade class to bring an object to school that represented a family Christmas tradition and then give a one-minute presentation. Brynn Williams brought the star that tops her family’s Christmas tree and shared how her family remembers Jesus’ birth at Christmas. “The star is named the Star of Bethlehem,” Brynn said. “The three kings followed the star to find the baby Jesus, the Savior of the world.” Brynn had planned to end her presentation by reciting the famous Bible verse John 3:16, but her teacher stopped her before she could say more. Brynn’s teacher told her to “stop right there” and sit back down. The teacher then explained to Brynn – in front of the entire class – that she was not allowed to talk about the bible or quote its verses in school.

Another Reason to Homeschool.
Thank you.
What every one is over looking is that what is happening is Prophecy being fulfilled. In the End Days Christians will be persecuted just as they were under the Romans.
No, Mark of the Beast...that rice chip implant...and you will not be able to buy or sell. You will go under ground, and be in fear for your lives until the final coming of Christ. And if you do not have Christ buried in your heart, you will be Left Behind for the Tribulation period of judgements in Revelations.
Preachers NO longer preach on Revelations, real Salvation. Love, GIVE to this cause. No COME to JESUS, No Revelations, No END TIMES. Sold their souls to the 501C3’s restrictions.
Dr Tim La Haye & Jerry Jenkins writes extensively on END Times. His books are worth the cost and reading time. He has some more up to date ones since his Left Behind series came out, set in more modern times, with 0 in them.
