Religious Freedom is No Longer Protected in America
The stories just continue to roll in constantly, whether it is a Christian baker or a Christian florist or a Christian farm owner, protection for religious beliefs of Christians is eroding in this country. There is a definite wave of hostility that is always rearing it head.
The latest incident involves a young Christian family that owns Country Mill Farms in Michigan. They were banned from their local farmers market in 2016 over their biblical viewpoint on marriage.
Steve and Bridget Tennes operate their orchard in Charlotte, and they host weddings on their farm. The Christian family used to set up a booth at the East Lansing Farmer’s Market to sell their produce, but officials decided to punish them because they believe marriage is between a man and a woman.
So it’s off to court they go over a matter that used to be non-controversial, common sensical and biblical.
The United States that has been used by and blessed by God as that shining city on the hill to the world now disagrees with God over a number of key issues. One of those issues is the radical notion that marriage is an institution between one man and one woman. The Redefiners Of All Things (anyone left of center politically and usually atheistic) have decided that God (who they don’t even believe exists), is wrong on a number of issues.
At any rate, it requires a bit of courage today to be a believing Christian in America. You are no longer considered to be a good person because of your deeply held Christian beliefs. Today, you may just be considered the bad guy because of your beliefs.
