I do not agree with the verb tense Rev. Franklin Graham used. With the Obamacare mandate to pay for abortions for employees, the mandate to creatively support gay “marriage” through photography and baking “wedding” cakes, and other demands from the evil thug in our White House, Christian persecution is here.

“We’ve already seen many laws that have been passed that restrict our freedom as Christians.”

And many laws promoting Islam and Shiria ...

"Who says we can't be in politics?" he asked in January at the Oklahoma State Evangelism Conference. "The gays and lesbians are in politics, I can tell you that. All the anti-God people are in politics. They're there. Why shouldn't the church be there? Who says we can't speak up? Who says our voice can' be heard? Get involved. I'm here to tell you that the only way, the only hope is not a Republican, it's not a Democrat or whoever. The only hope is that this country repents of its sins and turns once again to the God of our fathers and to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ — otherwise, there is no hope."

Amen.

I see a very real rigidity settling over America right now. This rigidity involves requiring all people to bow down to sexual perversion. Additionally, you can almost feel the fear that is creeping over the land regarding racial matters.

I have noticed that Americans are no longer relaxed and carefree, rather they are becoming intensely guarded in everything they think, do, and say. Fear is creeping in over not making some random, passing perceived misstep and having your life and career ruined.

It is happening.

This has been the topic of discussion in churches all across the nation. The Left and Muslims are sending spies into churches everywhere. This is something that has emerged after speaking to congregations and pastors in many cities across the nation. They are usually one time visitors and female. It seems to be passive surveillance for now but will probably become active (where they make it known) as they become bolder. I say letbthem come. We need more converts. When they see it is a religion of love and not hate and realize we do not act like the MSM and leftists portray us and that we don’t hate them as they claim them it may change things. We have had 3 former athiests get saved in our church this past year.

Well, to paraphrase the Obamanation, my response: ““I will stand with the CHRISTIANS should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Graham is right.

Two things are starting to happen ...

People are going to have to choose to either ‘fall away’ and live or face persecution. Maybe even mortal death too.

God, Jesus, said we would face persecution in the end days. I think about those Christians in the Middle East facing deadly persecution everyday...and pray my faith is as strong when that day comes here.

Truly an oxymoron, Franklin.

Those who don’t buy it had better think twice and get their spiritual house in order. It’s here.

I think it’ll be good for the real Church as persecution always leads to huge revivals and a robust Church.

We’ve got hard times ahead, but victory in Christ!

Catholics have known this for nearly two centuries. Yes, it — the persecution word — is coming to America.

I wonder if a lot of people are in denial about the reality of this.

Certainly Rev. Graham isn’t.
