Churches under attack

In the United States, the battle lines have been drawn.  The government is insatiable in its desire to grab more power and any attempt to wield that poiwer against its citizens.  Individual citizens and their God given rights have been under attack probably since the founding of the nation, but taking down one person at a time is not very efficient; something that even a bureaucracy can figure out.  So, other institutions in life were targeted such as the family, schools and the workplace to name a few.  But that is not enough because there is always the church out there, not any religious organizations mind you, just the Christian church.  It is willing, in some cases, to stand alone for what is right against even the monstrous power of civil government.  And so it must be dealt with, assaults across the board, from every angle, a perfect military strategy to amass an overwhelming assault on your enemy.  And do not think that you, Church, as considered less than an enemy of the state, for you are; your ultimate allegiance lies elsewhere, for you ar ea pilgrim on this earth.  So the attacks come, forced payments for abortion, demand for sermons and soon to be many more infringements on religious liberty through civil government decree. 
As I said, the battle lines have been drawn...but do not fear, for now the demarcation between light and dark has a little less gray.  A little less wiggle room for those that want to straddle the fence.  And on our side, the winning side, not in a worldy way, and perhaps not even in a way that benefits our nation and ourselves short term, it gives us a chance to show that we sit on the side of the Lord.  And that is something that not many in our United States have had a chance to experience in a long time.  Prepare to join with our brothers and sisters around the world that have suffered against this tyranny for so long, the battle was predicted for us in the scriptures and we are being called to duty.
