Conservative Christians are often portrayed as ding-bats by the media

In the major media, conservative Christianity is openly being billed as close-minded, intolerant and harmful to both society and human dignity. In the future it will be impossible for true Believers to work for the government in any level, state or federal, while holding to their conservative evangelical Christian beliefs.

Consider the latest:

  > Children are being told they can't write the words "Merry Christmas" to soldiers on Christmas cards.

  > Seniors were told not to pray over their meals at a government-run Senior Center. (They have since backed down saying seniors should "Pray privately.")

  > The VA has banned mentioning "Jesus" when counseling or at funerals.

  > A federal judge held that prayers before a state House  of Representatives could be to Allah, but not to Jesus.

  > Obamacare forces organizations to participate in birth control and abortions, against their convictions.

  > And God forbid if something has a cross on it. Displaying a cross is fast becoming a government-defined sin.

Brendan Eich

  > Brendan Eich, CEO of Internet giant Mozilla Corporation, with over 300 million in annual sales, was forced to resign because he supported God's definition of marriage. It was discovered that six years earlier he had donated $1000 to support California's Proposition 8, which passed by 52% to 48%, making same sex marriage illegal.

Basically our spiritual adversary wants Christians and/or the Bible to have zero influence so he's having his minions actively removing any vestiges of pure Christianity from government and business.

Obviously these Satanically driven people have no clue about the importance of allowing God to be God. That God's rules rule. That God's rules matter. They fail to understand that He gave us the Word of God for our own protection!

Scene from "Network" 1976, where the anchorman screams I'm not going to take it anymore

But, before I began shouting "I'm not going to take it anymore" from my window, I'm reminded of something Frank Peretti once said at a Steeling Bible Conference.

While poking fun at people who over-react to things out of their control, Frank said, "Some people get so upset with the ________ (fill in the blank--politicians, communists, atheists, etc.) that I felt like saying, 'I've got $5 and a car, what can I do?'"

The point Frank made was that we need to always respond with Biblical balance and perspective. And these days, if we're not careful, we could end up in jail! Sad but true.

So, learning from Frank's wise words, we should be wise in our responses. And who is our best counselor? The answer is God's Holy Spirit illuminating scripture.
