Birth Pangs of Our Society

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says a homosexual activist who is attacked following a Christian minister's sermon about homosexuality would be protected by a proposed new federal law, but a minister attacked by a homosexual wouldn't be.

The revelations come from Holder's recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which was taking comments on the so-called "hate crimes" proposal. It also was the subject of discussion on talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh's show today.

"This is the question," Limbaugh said. "[Sen.] Jeff Sessions [R-Ala.] presents a hypothetical where a minister gives a sermon, quotes the Bible about homosexuality and is thereafter attacked … by a gay activist because of what the minister said about his religious beliefs and what Scripture says about homosexuality. Is the minister protected?"

No, said Holder.

The state has been taking away church freedoms since the Middle Ages. The church is no longer, and hasn't been for a long time, in control of itself. Where, I ask, is the biblical authority in the church today? Humanistic ideals are drilling their way into the church deeper, and deeper, to diversify the church even more. In China, the government prohibits church activity in some locations, and in some other locations the government regulates the sermons to the bare minimal biblical teachings because of fear that they would worship God, than their own government, as the authority. Deeper, and deeper, the church is dug right underground.

Pray for your brothers and sisters in China and the rest of Asia. There is much persecution, suffering, and affliction poured onto them for having such strong faith in our Lord. Pray for their safety, forgiveness, strength, and perseverance.
We must also thank the Lord that we live in such a safe and protected environment where we can freely praise and worship our Lord without such persecution.
