First, I am very thankful for the freedoms that we have in America, and fully realize the great blessings that we have and the strengths that are available for us to use in preserving our great nation. However, the religious rights that we were founded on now being perceived as unpopular among the many "special interest" groups not only concerns me, but is now calling me out for a confrontation that I did not seek, yet am more than willing to oblige.
Somehow, the overwhelming majority of our American Christian community has opted for many decades now to remain silent, mumbling our disgust at many events and legislatures, but doing little to nothing to protect our position. Just as Christ was angered and felt it necessary to overturn the tables in the temple in order to protect His Father's honor and place, it is proper time for us to feel that same validated anger and start becoming physically, verbally and financially active in "overturning the tables" in our country.
Jesus told us that if we proclaim the Father before men that He will proclaim us before the Father, and if we do NOT proclaim the Father, neither will He proclaim us before Him. Our silent disapproval is not proclaiming our Father before men, and is in fact, expediting the agenda of the "special interest" groups. Ours is truly a "silence of the lambs", being every bit as destructive to God as Hannibal was to those around him in the movie I am referring to.
