We got overrun with furriners, poor economy and tyrannical leadership. But we’re still here.
Christians were never more powerful than when willing to die for their faith in the coliseum.
I personally have proof (you must find your own proof) that God is right here with me.
We were told that a time would come for martyrdom. Let's go get ours.
Personally, I like the idea of lions' teeth sinking into my flesh and bones...if it is done as evidence of my/our faith in Him.
Yes, the Culture War has been lost. Like a snowball running downhill for the past 50 years. No politics, nor politician, nor Republican party can save us. Whereas the Republican Party is the only cultural force outside of Christianity that opposes this cultural tide. Unfortunately, it can be said for both the Republican Party and the orthodox Christian and Catholic churches is that they have served as an ineffectual doorstop against a door that is intending to swing wide open. And we are looking at nearly swung wide open right now!
Like the 1st century through 3rd century Rome ....there will be martyrs.
We’re winning on abortion, slowly but steadily, which is probably more important as an issue than gay “marriage”. Seems like the wrong time to throw in the towel to me.
Sounds like another good reason to give safe haven to the Copts of Egypt. They aren’t southern Baptists but they are devout Christians.
How blessed we are to have been born in the Bible Belt. When you think about it long and hard...it makes perfect sense. Those outside the Bible Belt reject the Lord (not all...just some).
How lucky we are to live inside the Bible Belt and feel its warmth.
“bad for America, but it’s good for the church”
This seems pervasive today.
Ive often wondered what it was like to live in Germany or Japan in 1945.
It seems to me they, like many in the US, have ceded defeat.. its only the terms of surrender that need negotiation.
Personally I will never accept indifference and willful ignorance over pride in the greatest country mankind has managed to create, with generous help from above.
I will never capitulate say whats best for me me is bad for America..
Exactly! A willingness to go go prison or die for the faith will cluster, confound and defeat metroosexuals.
I sound pretty cynical, don't I?
“he wants to refocus the movement on serving as a religious example battling in the public square on “three core issues”—life, marriage and religious liberty.”
Fantastic article. He got my attention!
We’re winning on abortion which towers above issues like gay marriage that don’t have its moral importance. Abortion is the left’s sacrament and we’re winning. We are in the left’s sanctuary, overturning it idols. Now is the wrong time to give up.
I went to these money grubbing
“churches “ for 55 years. When babies were being slaughtered— they said nothing. When sexual perversion , an “abomination to God” ran rampant ,they sang hymns or “praise and worship” but they said nothing.( it would hurt collections). They are worthless institutions in the eyes of God. They mean nothing.
“Rather, he wants to refocus the movement on serving as a religious example battling in the public square on “three core issues”—life, marriage and religious liberty.”
There’s another article floating around here on FR about the homosexual agenda to destroy religion. Looks like this new guy at the SBC is preparing for that battle.

Read the book if you want to understand.
One + God is always a majority.
Lost? seems we’ve been hearing that since Noah landed his boat on the shore.
we actually arent winning, but hearts and minds are shifting in our favor....maybe temporarily, maybe a short lived blip, maybe something better.
As to your comment about me giving up?
You sure do read alot into a few of my compact sentences and incorrectly.
Amen, say it again, Rooster!
