Will Your Pastor Go to Jail for Reading Proverbs 13:24? - Christians Going to Jail in US
December 14, 2018
Every pastor in America should hear this program! They came for the Mennonites, and I did not speak out. They came for a Fundamentalist Baptist who read from Proverbs 13:24, and I did not speak out. . . Although very few Christian ministries or news programs would cover this, there are real instances where Christians are going to prison in America. A pastor teaches from Proverbs 13:24, and gets two years in prison — and the case is refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Mennonite Pastors in Vermont are serving time for their opposition to homosexuality, and aid given to a woman repenting of the sin. Will anybody speak out? Is your pastor next? True stories of real persecution going on right now in the United States on this edition of the program.

It was our last chance to defund Planned Parenthood for the foreseeable future, and again, the Republicans failed. Justice Brett Kavanaugh promised he would not reverse Roe v. Wade, and he is keeping his promise. Pro-abort Susan Collins feels "vindicated” for supporting Kavanaugh. Why did we expect anything different? The whole body is sick, from head to toe. Integrity is gone in Washington, but what if. . . the president of the United States repented?
