Christian freedom of speech will continue (in these last days) to be challenged. But let us American Christians understand that the freedoms we celebrate are not necessarily celebrated across the rest of the world; in fact, most Christians do not have the legal right to stand up, stand up for Jesus.
I am submitting this short blog, not to complain about the continual assault on Christian liberties in America, but rather to remind us that we simply must preach the gospel of Jesus Christ no matter what may become of us. God very simply could have taken us home the day that we trusted Jesus as Saviour, but He chose to leave us here that we might be a light in a dark world.

Give it a read, and then get down on your knees and thank God that you still have the right to street preach – even though you choose not to. Thank God that you still have the right to tell your fellow workers that Jesus died for their sins – even though you choose not to. Thank God that you still have the right to pass out a gospel tract while standing in line at the grocery – even though you choose not to.
One day soon, it just may be illegal to speak the truth. What do we do then, Christians? Well, we respond as Peter once did:
(Acts 4:19-20) But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Grace & Peace unto you all.
