Prosecution/Persecution

I am involved in 3 different in depth Bible studies right now.  This morning one of the questions hit me and I wrote a long explanation to the question.  I wanted to share it with the world as it may help somebody, who knows.  Anyway, here it goes:

Question:  Do you think we have lost a passion for prayer?  Why or Why not?

Answer: Yes.

I think that Christians have been so squashed by our government.  We haven't stood up to them about our faith or prayer.  And to be honest, the Christian politicians have not stood up for their Christian values either.  In fact, some of them have totally turned their back on their Christian beliefs and values.

Because of this, prayer is not as important as it once was in society.  We used to start all sports games in high school with prayer and the national anthem.  Now, you are prosecuted and persecuted in you even look like you are praying on the field, in school, in the locker room, at your car, wherever.  Kid's can't have Christian clubs at school anymore.  They definitely can't have a Bible study at school. 
We are now seeing Christians fed up with all of the bullying of the non-Christians and we are paying the price for standing up.  We are being sued, we are being boycotted, we are being beheaded.  This is only the beginning folks.

The more we stand up for our Christian beliefs, the more we will have to endure.  But, we Must stand up to the non-Christian bullies or else we will end up having to hide just to be able to gather as one body for the Lord.  There are countries today that it is illegal for you to gather as a church and study the Bible.  The United States is quickly becoming one of those countries.  Which is sad, because we were founded on Christian beliefs.

Believe it or not, all of you non-Christians, the founding fathers based our laws on the 10 commandments.  Yes, the 10 commandments given to us by GOD. 

We are going to have to push back, because otherwise we lose everything.
So, yes we have lost the passion for prayer, but, I believe the passion is starting to come back because people are sick of cowering down to the "politically correct" crowd.
