Liberty Counsel: Anti-Christian Bigotry Growing Out of Hand
When churches across this country are being threatened with seizure and destruction by bureaucrats who simultaneously encourage mass protests and riots, as is the case with our clients Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church of Chicago, Illinois, and our church clients in California …
When pastors are criminally charged or threatened for conducting worship in church, as is the case with our clients in California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia …
When churchgoers are put on the equivalent of house arrest for attending Easter Sunday services, as is the case with our clients in Kentucky …
When Christians face fines for having “small groups” or Bible study meetings in their own homes, as is the case in our lawsuit against California Gov. Gavin Newsom …
When a Christian ministry and Bible College face penalties for conducting worship with more people than Colorado Gov. Jared Polis deems appropriate, when similar, nonreligious meetings have no such limit, as is the case with our client Andrew Wommack Ministries International and Charis Bible College in Colorado …
When a brave whistleblower faces over $10 million in penalties and prison time for exposing Planned Parenthood’s gruesome and illegal “baby parts for sale” scheme, as is the case with our client Sandra Merritt in California …
When the right to display the Ten Commandments, Christmas nativity scenes or even Christian flags must be decided by the Supreme Court, as is the case in three of our current Christian symbols lawsuits …
When bureaucrats outlaw people’s ability to choose Bible-based Christian counseling, as is the case with our three “change counseling” cases …
And when one of the most highly acclaimed legal minds of the century is castigated for her belief in and service to God, as is the case with President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court…
… only one conclusion can be drawn: The enemy wants God’s people silenced in every possible way.
No churches, no outside worship, no home Bible studies and no mention of the Bible at all when offering social services or educational courses to more than a handful of attendees. No displays of the Ten Commandments or the birth of Christ at Christmas. No right for individuals to choose Bible-based Christian counseling and no devout justice on the Supreme Court.
The enemy wants to eradicate Christianity and faith in our nation. America is the only nation in the history of the world, other than Israel, to be founded on the Word of God. The fact is, Judeo-Christian values are the foundation of our free republic.
As John Adams famously said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” But the forces of evil want to “fundamentally transform” our constitutional republic, and the only way they can succeed is by sidelining and silencing Christians.
We must not let freedom slip away on our watch.
Liberty Counsel has never seen so many overt attacks on religious freedom. Our litigation docket is deeper than ever before. The sheer volume of cases we are handling is, frankly, astonishing. But what is even more astonishing is the increasing persecution of Christians and people of faith in America!
The enemy started with public displays of faith, moved to Christians in their businesses, and now our adversaries are openly attacking churches, pastors and parishioners across America.
Liberty Counsel is aggressively defending religious freedom from these outrageous attacks. {eoa}
