I'll become an Outlaw

I've seen a lot of people arguing over laws lately.
People holding on to their political views.
Christian people.
Believing that their way of life is being threatened.


Gay Civil Rights
Abortion
Separation of Church & State


Using the passages of a book of love & truth to oppress people.


If the law allows 2 people of the same sex to marry, does that then force us to only marry people of the same sex as ourselves? Or does that allow people to have the same equal rights as every other citizen of the nation? For this is their freedom.


If the woman has the right to choose if she wants to abort a pregnancy, does that force every woman to have an abortion? Although I am heart broken that some women decide to put a child to death as a form of birth control. I believe that they should have the right to choose.


Are they banning the name of God in schools? True they do not allow teachers to teach creationism in science class. Students are still allowed to talk about God to their friends, student run organizations like FCA & See You at the Pole are still happening. No one has kept a child from praying in school and no one forces a child to pray in school.


Brothers & Sisters I tell you, as Christians we are called to love everyone as Christ loved them.


Maybe we shouldn't be focused on disrupting 2 people in love and hindering their right to happiness & freedom. Maybe we should be focused as loving our families as Christ loved us. Giving everything for them through His love. Ephesians 5:25-27


Maybe instead of protesting the woman to have the right to choose weather or not she wants to keep her baby, you should show her Christ's love and support. Let her know that the body of Christ will be there to support her. If she does not feel able to support the child that there is still hope for both her and the child.
Jeremiah 1:5



Maybe we should not focus on making sure that schools teach your children about God, but make sure that you teach them about God. If they ban His name in the hallways, then let the children shout His name in the yards. Let them meet in secret to discuss their faith. Let them be persecuted & rejoice.
Matthew 5:10-12



Or is our faith so weak that our living standards must be law? That it needs to be illegal in order for us, as Christians, not to do it? Is our God so weak that a committee of men writing down things on paper will stop His power? Is His love so small that it will be overshadowed by the things of this world?


What if it was against the law to practice Christianity publicly? A crime punishable by death or life imprisonment.


How many Christians in churches today would continue to follow Christ?
How many of us would secretly meet to feverishly pray for their underground churches?
How many of us would struggle to feel God's presence in our lives?
How many of us would become outlaws?
