Attacks on Religious Freedom Amount to 'Sophisticated Warfare' on Christians
Public policy experts at this year's National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville asserted that the government religious liberty and freedom issues facing Christians today are fundamentally and intrinsically tied to the future of culture in America.
Janet Parshall, host of the daily radio talk show "In the Market," moderated a panel on Tuesday that included Todd Starnes of Fox News, Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and NRB Sr. VP and Chief Legal Counsel Craig Parshall.
Janet Parshall said finding the subject matter for this year's event was not difficult. "It took us about three nano-seconds to decide what we were going to discuss here today," joked Parshall. "It's the most important issue Christians are facing today."...
interesting to see some who talk of "if" that day comes. for many that day has already come. I hope churches are not insulating themselves to the point they can't see it.

If persecution of such intensity came that your children, wife, husband or parents were killed, and even tortured before your eyes that you may denounce Christ... Don't assume you'd stand so firmly. Even if your faith is strong. ... It would be very very very hard and that is something I really hope I never get tested in.
Nat, I agree. All we can do is ask God for the grace to stand in that day if it comes. We will not get that particular grace when it is not yet needed.
Matthew 6:34 KJV [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

That's Americans for,full of confidence,full of themselves...always ready to crow about what they would do if....
The bible gives us a choice between blessing and cursing and tells us to choose blessing,we create circumstances of cursing through our own indifference,laziness and arrogance then call ourselves better Christians for doing so as if there will be some great reward for letting our country go down the tubes without a fight.....America was the last hope of freedom under civil government and a long dark night is ahead....yes,we will win in the end but to act as if we are somehow better for letting this happen is absurd.

Its a real shame that so many died so we could just say ahhh,so what,who cares,the founders were wealthy men who put it all on the line and lost everything to give birth to a free nation and people,not all but many of them were Christians....a very different breed of "Christian" than we have today.
