"Persecution will be the norm"

Over the past few months, I have been reading up and sending petitions about ENDA. This bill cannot happen. This bill is a wolf dressed in sheep skin.

"Employment non discrimination act" sounds like a really nice... no discrimination, everybody equal kinda bill. It's not. It's an overboard, we're suing you if you don't like us, you can't fire me, you have to hire me, i don't care about what you believe in... kinda bill.

Basically, it's a bill that allows a homosexual to sue an organization, company, person, anything anybody, once they feel offended. They can totally make stuff up to get you in trouble if they really want to get rid of you. You'd have to tiptoe around these people, or act like you like them, or act like you agree with them, and act like you're okay with them acting weird around you or hit on you.

Even faith based organizations will be forced to hire anyone who openly offends their faith, beliefs and what they are founded on.

What about everyone else who is offended by these people who act like they don't care? I am offended when they openly act gay in front of me. I am offended when they teach my future generations it's okay to be like them. I am offended when they have agendas in schools. I am offended by the way they act like they are offended that we are offended. I love the gay people because they are still people. I have family and friends who are gay. But I certainly do not condone their behaviors and I am honest with them about it.

Am I going to be scorned by my beliefs? You bet. Am I going to be hated and gossiped about because of my faith? YES. I am even going to be persecuted, sued, spat on, you name it because of what I believe in. But I have a God who went through all that, and a God that has passed on His wisdom to us. He has been clear about His laws and His love. His choice to redeem and deliver us from our sins and indulgence. I have no doubt one day I will die for Him as He has died for me. I am ready to be martyred for what and who I believe in because I know that Jesus is real and that His faithfulness will be honored. Christ will be glorified in the end. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Under the earth, on the earth, and in heaven. Everyone will know the truth one day whether we like it or not.

God, give us the strength, perseverance, and steadfastness to fulfill Your purposes for us. Use us for Your glory. May Your kingdom come and will be done. Deliver us from the evil and persecution by the people around us who hate us because they hate You first. You are with us till the end. May You be glorified.
