It seems that it is all
right for one to curse the name of Jesus in public, but for one to speak His
name in honor is forbidden.
But to stop this
thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak
no longer to anyone in this name." Acts 4:17 (NIV)
Is history repeating itself in America?
In our society now there is such fear of hearing or
seeing the word of God expressed that they are going to great lengths to try to
stop it from happening. They want to silence Christians and throw out the Bible
that we live by if they can.
Many in our society no longer love God or fear the wrath
of God, but they do fear hearing His gospel message or reading His Holy word.
It seems that what they fear the most is reference to the name of Jesus.
But try they might it will never happen, not even in America
it has been tried in centuries past to silence the voice of God’s Holy spirit
in the world, the Bible and Christians have been under attack in many generations,
in many countries and are so now persecuted in the heathen countries, still
they have never been silenced and never will be as long as God lives it is not
possible for the creator of all that is, was or ever will be to die.
So now Satan is hard at work in America trying to stop
the the name of Jesus and the written word of God from being posted or spoken in
public areas.
It seems that it is all right for one to curse the name
of Jesus in public, but for one to speak His name in honor is forbidden.
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of the
press is something that has been done in America since it fought and won its
freedom and independence from Great Britain.
If we allow this action to continue, will we be able to
still call this nation a free republic?
Or by our inaction will we give in and give over our
rights to a dictator government?
How much longer now in our beloved America will it be
before one will be arrested, imprisoned or even killed for their faith and
their willingness and obedience to obey the command of the word of God in
witnessing Jesus.
Our freedom of speech and our freedom of the press
guarantees every American citizen the right to express their views both in speech
and in writing whether they are a private citizen, serve in the military or in
some other governmental office or function.
That constitutional freedom is not limited to homes or
church buildings. As Christians we have the command to live and express our
faith and way of life in every place that our bodies are present.
How can we be the light of the world if we don’t shine in
every dark place?
In the same way, let your light shine
before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in
heaven. Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
