DOES NOT ADD UP....

There has been increase in attacks on Christian prayer in last couple of years esp. in the USA. An all out attempt to outlaw any public prayer that is Christian, which has included the firing of workers for praying over a co-workers area after hours when the co-worker was not present. Christian prayer before public meetings that have occurred since the nation was founded are suddenly being found unlawful by many judges. Intimidation tactics have been employed by atheist groups like ACLU and ASCS are leading the charge, they have no problem with prayers in general, only prayers which are prayed through the name of Jesus Christ. With atheism being the belief that there is no God, you would assume that what others did would be of little concern if there was in fact no God. Throughout history you can find examples of prayer being outlawed or restricted along with other attempts to control religious thought. Communist countries along with Islamic nations have been the latest using harsh tactics including death to stop christian prayer and adherence. Now the free countries are moving to restrict same while becoming more open to religions that would enslave women and eliminate all who oppose their rule. The question one should ask is why does it bother someone who claims to be an atheist if someone prays. If there is no God, then prayer would just be empty words spoken in the wind. Another question should be why no real concern of prayer unless it is a Christian prayer using name of Jesus Christ. Looking at these 2 questions unless blind and brain dead you must come to conclusion that they not only know there is a God but that He is also the God of the Bible. God says He will hear and answer the request of those who love Him and make their request to Him in the name of Jesus. Now there are two ways we can know for sure that there is a God, one is by God revealing Himself to us through repentance and faith in Jesus death burial and resurrection. Second way the Bible tells us is that Satan the prince of darkness and the father of liars, believes and reveals the same to those who follow him. All others he seeks to deceive using their unbelief and the pride of life to distract them from the truth that one day everyone will have to pay for their on sin if they have not accepted Christ payment for that sin. All will choose and the failure to choose or making wrong choice will have same result of no forgiveness and joining Satan and his followers in eternal separation from God and His loving light forever. It is written that darkness, weeping, gnashing of teeth, worms that do not die with tormenting heat await all who will not accept the payment of their sins by Jesus the son of God. Life is short but eternity is forever, choose well for God will honor your choice. May you count yourself worthy of forgiveness and faith.
