The Thin Line that Separates Church and State

Is is becoming increasingly apparent that the line that separates church and state is slowly disappearing.  It's a scary world we are living in.  We are living in a world with no boundaries...a world filled with hate and bigotry, a world where anything goes, a world where people who have deep religious beliefs are being persecuted...and even killed.  Government is slowly encroaching more and more into the lives of people, taking away our freedoms and taking away our independence. This is not really a surprise to anyone who serves God.  It is predicted in the Bible as something that will happen before the return of the Lord.

As Christians, it is important to not only love one another, but to stand up for what we believe.  There must be a balance, for one without the other will lose in this battle that is currently ensuing.  The enemy has no other desire other than to "steal, kill, and destroy"...and unless we, as Christians stand up to this evil, it will only spread. Our religious freedom is at risk here in the "land of the free and the home of the brave".  This nation "under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" is slowly disappearing.

Are you willing to stand up for what you believe?
