What can be said?
Lock and load, baby.
Well, for sure this new ‘law’ will sort the actual Christians from the Christmas and Easter variety. In this maybe it’s a good thing.
Be prepared for much more than passive resistance.
Liberals are slime, and will use force.
We can and must be prepared to return it with interest.
Judges/etc have homes and addresses.
Just sayin’.
Not, of course, that I advocate any actions...but I can most certainly predict what is to come.
There are many more of than there are of them. They and their corrupt legal system cannot cope with will come should we will it.
Fight back but don’t be a noob. There is a tendency by a lot of Christians to throw themselves under the bus, this is just pride. Christians need to be smart, they need to remember that the gates of help will not prevail and that nobody carries their gates into battle.

Here is what I do not understand.
I see many, many pastors and others say that we are making too big a deal of all this. That the world will do what they want and we shouldn’t try to impose our standards on the world. And that, “This is not a Christian nation, but a nation with many Christians in it.”
All this is to suggest that we should just go about our business and merely try to pick up the pieces from the damage that will naturally result from following such ungodly practices. Moreover, we should not say anything (or much) as this would be judgmental and we should merely love others and be welcoming to them so as enable the sharing of the gospel with them.
So, is the church supposed to be salt and light to a dying world, or is the church supposed to be a passive sanctuary to those who may seek spiritual redemption? In a world increasingly hostile and hard of heart and unwilling to openly hear or accept the gospel, being a passive sanctuary seems like a lazy, easy-way-out position. But again, I see so many leaders who seem to advocate a flaccid position that I think many in the church are both confused and have basically recoiled from issue engagement.
I strenuously disagree with the framing of this situation as Christians practicing civil disobedience.
Adhering to the laws of nature and nature’s God and the Constitution is civil obedience.
It is the Left and their enablers who are acting contrary to the law, not us, and everybody should know that.
I am not sure that quote is correct. See Source:
“This quotation has not been found in Thomas Jefferson’s papers....”
...closer to what MLK Jr said

I wonder if posting a legalise boilerplate type of notice in the bulletin and by the door in the spirit of those ones that come up on TV about “sensitive viewers may want to leave the room” would be enough to avoid the people who sue because they are offended? Children already get sent out of the room before the sermon begins. This might even be a selling point to a world sick to the gills with political correctness.
While I may more often than not argue with God in the sense of Israel’s meaning, I will never surrender God’s and The Bible’s fundamental precepts of holiness, and will fight with every practical means at my disposal against those who would.
