If there was any remaining doubt, this past week’s news puts it to rest. Christians are now being punished in America.
From San Francisco, California to San Antonio, Texas, the church is being persecuted. Faithful Christians — those who still believe in the Bible as their rule of faith and practice — are being harassed for simply holding to the millennia-old creeds of their faith. Devout Catholics are being blackballed from our nation’s courts. Evangelicals are being excluded from the public debate. Today, orthodox Christians are not only considered politically unpopular, but they are now dubbed morally unacceptable to even engage in local commerce.
If you’re a Christian business owner who dares give money to a charitable cause grounded in traditional morality, your company will be targeted, protested and shut down. Your restaurant will be shuttered. Your bakery will be shunned. Your flower shop will be attacked. Faithful and devout Christians are now officially considered a cultural embarrassment. They are a pariah that must be removed from the market square. They cannot be tolerated. They must be barred. Under the rainbow banner of “inclusion,” Christians are now excluded from speaking, buying or selling in the arena of public life.
Proof?
On March 22, the San Antonio City Council announced with great pride and fanfare it was officially banning Chick-fil-A from doing business in the San Antonio International Airport over what it called the fast-food chain’s “anti-LGBTQ behavior.”

Sad reality but I believe your right. There are also stern warnings and dire consequences for the U.S. if this peace process calls for dividing Jerusalem. I’ve got a real bad feeling about it.
Yes, a big surprise. They certainly didn’t want to hear it.
And they wouldn’t accept what was written in the Scriptures.
Their PhD guy tells them it won’t happen. Therefore, that’s all they need to know.
Oh I’m sure it’s going to happen. Or should I say, most likely. Which will put the U.S.A. on the wrong side with God.
The non-believers think this is some sort of joke. Talk about a rude awakening that is coming...
We certainly shouldn’t be talking about dividing Israel for “peace”.
Most of the world does not understand the ramifications of what will be engaged when that happens.
And once the ball is rolling, there is no way to stop it.
Since God has decreed it there is no way to stop it. Look up! Your redemption draweth nigh Maranatha!
It gets a whole lot worse before we're at the end of Times. This is barely the tip of the iceberg. I sincerely doubt you and I will be around for the end.
Some critics like to criticize Chic publications but such folk need to consider that many of the scenarios as illustrated in those tracts are eerily and worryingly coming to pass.
Just saying...perhaps God IS speaking to this perverse generation using means that even so called high brow “cultured” Chic sneering Christians would hold in disdain, not remembering that Jesus himself was not a “pretty” sort that anyone would want to look at. He is the ultimate “paisan”, not comely to look at,but the son of the Most High God.
yep

Yes, the advances in technology alone (like smaller cell phones, high-tech watches, tracking, facial recognition, etc) in such a short period of time are truly amazing.
Such technology, in the wrong hands....
Imagine if Adolph Hitler had that technology. The next guy is gonna be Adolph with very advanced technology. And it will be world-wide.
Imagine a world where men win female beauty contests and half the world cheers. Imagine the good old U.S.A. where men marry men and half the country cheers.
And that’s where we are today.
“Imagine a world where men win female beauty contests and half the world cheers. Imagine the good old U.S.A. where men marry men and half the country cheers”
I remember a Chick tract in the very early 70’s showing a guy marrying a guy at a time when it wasn’t done...about the same time David Wilkerson was predicting a literal dumping of Satanic corruption on a scale we are now seeing on this nation. I was 10 or 11 at the time.
The general topic is certainly referenced in the same tract from above (upper right-hand corner):

Did you ever think it was even remotely-possible this would be celebrated on a national level?
I certainly didn’t. At least not before the Tribulation began.
