Don’t believe that Christian persecution, the stripping of God given, Constitution-given liberties and freedoms are happening and have happened in America? Time to pay attention and adjust the thinking, improve what is believed.
For many years now, Christians and Christianity have been under attack in America. It’s a slow process. Evil doesn’t want to go all in all at once. But it is present. It is growing. Evil hates God, the One True God of the Christian and Jewish faith.
Meanwhile…the Islamic call to prayer over these past years has been growing in major cities and many places in America, with major cities actually broadcasting them now to appease and abide by Sharia law rather than the U.S. Constitution.
What’s that? Didn’t you just write how we need to make sure religious liberties given to us in the Constitution are upheld? Yes, true — but Islam cannot be permitted to bring major city traffic to a standstill, causing gridlock and dangerous situations for fire, EMS, and emergency vehicles, as they are without any restrictions, as Christ followers are arrested. Individual Christ followers praying.
Something wrong with this, isn’t there?
Silence, all the while, from the so-called “good people.”
Antisemitism rising. Israel and Jew hatred rising. Unabated.
Christian persecution rising. Unabated.
Islam is increasing and permitted to do whatever it desires in America.
Silence, all the while, from the so-called “good people.”
Refusing to mention Israel in sermons, in churches, the rising antisemitism, and the rising Christian persecution. Refusing to mention the rise of Islam.
And we’re not in the last of the last days? Still think America is somehow exempt from “the nations” in God’s inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal living and active Word? Just because you’re an American and happen to live here?
Think again.
Think there’s a white knight in the White House to slay all the dragons?
Think again.
Wake up to reality and the facts. No matter how difficult they may be to stomach or believe.
Delusion and pretending, ignoring, don’t make the truth, the reality, the facts disappear. All that only brings the evil to the fore and allows it to increase.
Deluded, pretending, ignoring that mass that has arisen in a part of your body the solution? The answer? Pretend it doesn’t exist, it isn’t there, and it’ll be okay.
How’s that work?
No different in a nation, a body of people, the body of a church, the body of what makes up a community, a family.

Street Evangelist Arrested For Preaching In ‘Protest Zone’ Petitions Supreme Court
April 12, 2025

A Christian street evangelist, who challenged a law in Brandon, Mississippi, that restricts street evangelism to certain “protest zones,” is asking for a hearing at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gabriel Olivier was arrested and fined for preaching in a city park outside a public amphitheater, which was beyond the city’s designated protest zones. Olivier sought to evangelize in the park because the designated zones were remote and he could access few people. He was arrested, then paid a fine and was released. But he challenged the law by suing the city, hoping to prevent Brandon from enforcing it in the future.
The case went to a district court, which dismissed Olivier’s claim. Olivier appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, but the appeals court upheld the district court’s ruling and denied Olivier a hearing before the full 5th Circuit. The 5th Circuit cited the ruling in Heck v. Humphrey, a case that denied the rights of prisoners to sue the state after being convicted and incarcerated.
Law firms First Liberty Institute and Gibson Dunn appealed to the Supreme Court on behalf of Olivier, arguing that Olivier is not a prisoner and is not contesting his conviction.
Judge James Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit dissented to the denial of a full hearing.
“The fact that Olivier was previously convicted under the ordinance should make him not just a permissible but a perfect plaintiff,” James Ho said. “But instead, [5th Circuit precedent] uniquely prohibits citizens like Olivier from bringing suit. That gets things entirely backwards. And it sends an odd message to citizens who care about defending their constitutional rights. On the one hand, we tell citizens that you can’t sue if you’re not injured. But on the other hand, we tell them that you can’t sue if you are injured.”
Kelly Shackelford, CEO of First Liberty Institute, believes the case revolves around a core issue—freedom of speech.
“No American should face criminal charges for sharing their faith in a public space,” said Shackelford. “The First Amendment guarantees all Americans the right to express their point of view, religious or secular, perhaps no more so than on a public sidewalk.”
Allyson Ho, a partner at Gibson Dunn, agreed.
“The rights at stake in this case are doubly protected by the Constitution’s free speech and free exercise clauses,” Allyson Ho said. “Our client was deprived of those rights, and he deserves his day in court to vindicate those rights.”
