Freedom isn't free.
Citizens of the United States of America are benefiting today from the price our forefathers paid to establish liberty in this land.
However, we find our freedoms being encroached upon by an ever-more-socialistic mindset that seems to be the policy of our leadership and of some of the candidates who are seeking the highest office of the land.

However, we find our freedoms being encroached upon by an ever-more-socialistic mindset that seems to be the policy of our leadership and of some of the candidates who are seeking the highest office of the land.
Our people are
like the proverbial frog in cold water that is placed over a flame. As
the temperature becomes boiling the frog dies without realizing the
jeopardy he allowed to gradually encroach upon him. Americans have
enjoyed freedom so long that they can't fathom it is being,
little-by-little, policy-by-policy, taken away from them.
There is an apparent desire among people in high places to reduce this nation, which was placed at the feet of Jesus at its inception, to the position of nations that restrict liberty--that deny it altogether. One of the first freedoms to be curtailed is that of freedom of conscience as expressed in religious practice.
The news is replete with examples of religious freedoms being challenged--from the prayers in Jesus' name that have been removed from public schools to the raising of a hand in praise to God by a high school quarterback who scored a touchdown, our religious freedom is being assailed.
These are small things compared to the horrific persecution being endured by believers in some parts of the world, but they are disconcerting first steps toward the mindset that denies Christ and jeopardizes those who believe in Him.
We must not allow ourselves to be like the frog who did not recognize his peril! We must reassert our right to live free and to worship Christ freely or we will find we have neither.
And we must not only pray for our brothers who suffer but demand that our government intervene in their behalf! Our leaders are allowing an influx of muslims into our country who are purportedly seeking asylum but include unscreened terrorists; but the same privilege is not being accorded to Christians.
Will we not stand for those who are in bondage to evil? Are we not willing to pay the price for freedom?
Why?
