"Repentance is not only a heart broken “for” sin, but ”from” sin also. " ~ REV. WILLIAM EVANS

He was my son Jason's pastor and he performed the marriage ceremony for Jason and Gianna. I've had the privaledge of hearing him preach at the church in NJ. He has a heart for the Lord and the people in this community.

Any government that would demand more of its citizens than they were able to pay would soon dry up all tribute at its roots and bring upon itself sure destruction. ~ A. W. Tozer

7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Jeremiah 18:7-10 Spoken of Israel and Judah BUT oh so applicable today to a nation called The United States of America.

Looking for some author suggestions for educating myself in witnessing and befriending folks who need Christ in spite of their surface rejection. Old authors are preferred, but prefer them from the Independent Baptist perspective, if not then at least evangelical. Thanks.

You might hook up with Dan Bell Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist in Browns Mills, New Jersey.

Great answer! Yes freedoms are given by God. God uses governments at His discretion to defend those freedom. For a government to do nothing when laws are violated is the same as condoning the illegal activity and threatens the freedom of the people of that nation. Government here in the states is doing nothing on multiple fronts. I won't take advantage of the current administrations lack of mental prowess to act on behalf of their own citizenry, others have aided and abetted them (i.e. Clinton, Obama, G.W. Bush). I pray for their salvation instead.

So, I take it your answer is no, OK.

Since suppression is equally distributed across both Christian conservative and non-Christian conservative alike, I don't see it as persecution YET! But when non-Christians are allowed liberties we are not then it will begin to be a form of persecution.

Asking for a friend... Do you believe we're being incrimentally denied our freedoms by government over reach?

It would be an interesting study... John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? ...maybe this winter, I'm backed up with activities this year, traveling to see family, work at the church, and working at home.

Well my bad seems I may have started it but, I'm willing to denounce any claim to it if I ever run across it on line. However, I would preferred the comment was quoted in context... "So, as much as we would like to type Judas as Satan, it turns out he was very much like you or I. The difference between Judas and a Christian is the object of your surrendered will. Judas’ will was surrendered to Satan, the Christian’s will is surrendered to Christ. Judas will spend eternity in hell. The Christian eternity with God."

The OP wasn't about an ID chip. It's about personal travel and contacts with groups.
